Today's Karl Stefanovic loses it over kid's joke about vegans and vegetarians

Karl Stefanovic is known for enjoying a good laugh on-set of the Today show, but the popular host was left, quite literally, rolling on the floor laughing when an Aussie youngster told a joke on Today with a killer punchline.

In a segment, the young Aussie legend is seen asking Karl and his co-host Sarah Abo a simple question.

"A vegan and a vegetarian are jumping off a cliff to see who will hit the bottom first, who wins?" the kid asks.

"Who?" Karl replied.

Without missing a beat, the young comedian answers with a completely deadpan tone. "Society."

The perfect delivery left Karl and Sarah stunned, before Karl burst into loud laughter, falling off his chair.

The clip has now gone viral on TikTok, being shared numerous times across the platform with one video sitting at 12 million views and over 900,000 likes.
