Today host Karl Stefanovic’s ARIAs dig at Brooke Boney: 'Struggler'

Karl Stefanovic has taken a cheeky swipe at Today co-host Brooke Boney after her big night hosting the 2023 ARIA Awards.

The biggest night for Australian music was hosted at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday, co-hosted by Brooke and comedian Tommy Little.

While mentioning Genesis Owusu’s Struggler won Album Of The Year on the morning show on Thursday, Stefanovic couldn’t help but take a dig at his colleague who was noticeably absent from work.

“Brooke Boney will tell us more about what went down at the event later this morning,” he said. “Or will she? That album best describes how Brooke is this morning. The struggler.”

The 36-year-old newsreader turned heads at the awards ceremony on Wednesday night by wearing a white gown with a plunging neckline.

She said the dress was a homage to Kylie Minogue’s 2002 red carpet look in the same shade of white and deep neckline, though hers was covered in diamontes.

Australia’s pop princess took home her first ARIA Award in more than 20 years, with her dance track 'Padam Padam' winning Best Pop Release.

Looking bright and bushy-tailed, Brooke joined the show at 7am but said she “can’t promise any huge performances” as she was “a little bit tired”.
