"I can't answer that!": Karl's cheeky question stumps JFK's daughter

<p><em>Today</em> show host Karl Stefanovic left the US ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy - John F Kennedy's daughter - in fits of laughter after he posed a cheeky personal question on Wednesday morning. </p> <p>Stefanovic didn't miss the opportunity to play cupid for his daughter by asking the US Ambassador about the relationship status of her youngest son, Jack Schlossberg. </p> <p>“I hope that you don’t take any offence (to) what I am going to ask. My daughter wanted to know if your son is single?” he said. </p> <p>This elicited a laugh from the ambassador, who smoothly deflected the question by saying: “You would have to ask him. I can’t answer that.” </p> <p>Stefanovic laughed and said:  “Good deflection.” </p> <p>The ambassador played along and said: “Your daughter must be so mad at you right now. I would be so mad if I was your daughter.”</p> <p>The<em> Today </em>show host has two daughters, Ava, 18 and Harper, 3, and continued the joke by saying he was asking on behalf of Harper. </p> <p>“Then there is something really wrong with you,” the ambassador quipped. </p> <p>Stefanovic's co-host Sarah Abo joined in on the teasing and said: “Welcome to what the rest of the nation already knows.”</p> <p>Schlossberg, 30, is the only grandson of former US president John F. Kennedy, and has a considerable social media following with over 100,000 followers on Instagram. </p> <p>Besides his dashing looks, the 30-year-old also graduated with a law degree from the prestigious Harvard Law School. </p> <p><em>Images: Today Show/ News.com.au/ Getty/ Instagram</em></p>

Sonia Kruger’s cheeky shot during Logies victory speech

<p>The 2023 Logie Awards ceremony was filled with memorable moments, both triumphant and awkward. Sam Pang took on the role of the host, becoming the first in 11 years to do so. He kicked off the proceedings with a pointed and humorous monologue, highlighting the win for diversity as the first-ever host representing both Channel 7 and Channel 10.</p> <p>“I would like to acknowledge a win for diversity tonight. I am the first host in the history of the Logies to be half and half - half Channel 7 and half Channel 10,” Pang began.</p> <p>“Let’s be honest, it’s just be great to have an Asian on Channel 7 who isn’t trying to smuggle live birds through border security,” he continued, telling viewers to strap in for the “two-day” ceremony.</p> <p>One of the night's obvious highlights was the announcement of the Gold Logie winner, Sonia Kruger. Overwhelmed with joy, Sonia expressed her gratitude and thanked everyone involved in her shows, including <em>Big Brother</em>, <em>Dancing With the Stars</em>, and <em>The Voice</em>.</p> <p>She also playfully teased last year's Gold Logie winner, Hamish Blake, for sharing the same agent and their agent's hopes for concentrating on her in the future.</p> <p>Kruger quoted a conversation with the agent who had allegedly told her “I think people are a little over Hamish [Blake].”</p> <p>She added that the man had told her “Frankly I am hoping that he will leave the agency, so I can concentrate all of my efforts on you, Sonia”.</p> <p>Karl Stefanovic, on the other hand, faced a challenging moment during his appearance. Trying to add some impromptu humour to introduce a tribute to Barry Humphries, his joke about David Koch's favourite show, <em>Bump</em>, fell flat with the audience. </p> <p>“I did want to just check something... I am pretty sure before I heard Kochie say he loves Bump’s.... season 3. Did anyone mishear that? Because I am pretty sure I did. Anyway, those are the headlines tomorrow morning...” Karl said.</p> <p><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">The cameras caught Kochie looking bewildered to say the least.</span></p> <p>Sam Pang then by saying “I don’t want to say Karl’s joke about Kochie sank, but OceanGate are offering expeditions to visit it.”</p> <p>Following the In Memoriam segment, Sam Pang dedicated another In Memoriam to TV shows that had low ratings in the past year. This included Seven's <em>Blow-Up</em>, lacking the entertainment, artistry, and family fun it aimed for, and Ten's <em>The Real Love Boat</em>, which seemingly did not receive favourable reviews.</p> <p>Throughout the night, Sam Pang entertained the audience with a series of witty remarks. He thanked those who declined the hosting gig, <span style="color: #343541; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">including Hamish Blake: “I appreciate it, mate, some of us have a mortgage,” said Pang. “By the way, a mortgage is when the bank loans...

Or as Pang put it: “Sitting next to your co-host - who do you have this year, Karl?” He said Karl’s table would only be more fun if “Michael Clarke was on it.”</span></p> <p>While Pang's monologue ended on a controversial note with a joke about being an Asian on <em>I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!</em>, the overall ceremony was filled with moments that kept the audience entertained.</p> <p>He also advised audience members “not to mix beer and wine, and make sure that you don’t mix your acceptance speech with an active court case.”</p> <p><em>Images: Channel Seven</em></p>

Subway puts its best footlong forward with a cheeky new ad

<p> It’s no secret that sandwich giant Subway has copped its fair share of criticism over the size and value of its famous subs. </p> <p>And while it has addressed issues with <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/food-wine/subway-falls-a-foot-short-for-one-customer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">its faux-footlongs</a> in the past, the company has opted for a bolder approach with its latest marketing strategy. </p> <p>In a series of billboards being rolled out across Australia, Subway has taken a stand against its naysayers and competitors, releasing an image of its iconic footlongs alongside three familiar burgers with the caption “Yep, our footlongs are really that big.” </p> <p>The burgers haven’t been formally identified, but anyone who’s so much as stepped into a Maccas would have no trouble recognising the chain’s signature burger, the Big Mac. Additionally, the campaign seems to have included the most popular burgers from the likes of KFC and Hungry Jacks as well. </p> <p>As to why Subway have taken this new approach, Australia and New Zealand’s head of marketing, Rodica Titeica, referenced the cost of living crisis striking people across both regions, noting that “with cost-of-living pressures increasing, we know just how important ‘value for money’ is to Aussies.</p> <p>“That’s why the iconic Subway footlong continues to represent indisputable value that is not only convenient but also a guilt-free, better-for-you food option.”</p> <p>Typically, Subway’s ‘meatball melt’ sandwich comes in at just under $15. Meanwhile, a single Big Mac sits at around the $7.50 price mark. </p> <p>This isn’t the first daring campaign that the company has tried, having recently joined forces with Smith’s chips for three new flavours inspired by Subway’s sandwiches. </p> <p>Fan favourites won out, seeing the likes of ‘Crinkle Chicken Teriyaki Sub’, ‘Crinkle Meatball Sub’, and ‘Crinkle Pizza Sub’ hit supermarket shelves across Australia. </p> <p>And in 2022, Subway dipped into the bustling billboard realm with an interactive 3D sign in London, England. This one left its competitors alone, instead allowing audiences to create their very own sandwich on the screen. </p> <p>Scattered throughout the crowd at the 2022 display were Subway ambassadors, who were hard at work delivering people their deliciously unique creations. </p> <p>“Embracing new technologies and pioneering ways to interact with audiences is always exciting,” said Dom Goldman, Chief Creative Officer of the company who created the campaign, Above+Beyond. “We’ve seen many great 3D billboards, but creating a fully interactive screen with fulfilment baked in is a first.”</p> <p>“This is a first in marketing, trying to find new ways to reach Subway fans and give them a chance to enjoy their Sub just the way they want,” Head of Marketing for Subway UK &amp; Ireland Angie Gosal explained, “Subway always puts customers first and this campaign is another example of this.”</p> <p><em>Images: Shutterstock</em></p>

Wrapping presents leads to mother's cheeky Christmas discovery

<p>Queensland mother of four Nicole, was wrapping her Christmas presents early this year, when she had to take a second glance at a few images on what she thought was fairly innocent and cute wrapping paper.</p> <p>What she didn’t realise, was that after wrapping a few presents she accidentally selected something a little too inappropriate.</p> <p>The paper, innocently named "Christmas Wrapping Paper Roll" online actually contained X-rated cartoon images. One of an aroused snowman and another of a randy reindeer mounting another.</p> <p>I purchased them online and only noticed when I was wrapping my third present - thankfully the first two were for me and my partner!" she laughed.</p> <p>"When I first saw it I had to send photos to my friend and mother to see if they noticed anything off while wiping laughing tears from my face."</p> <p>Nicole said she wasn't planning on ditching the paper from Typo completely, but with her younger children, she wasn't keen on her kids asking about the birds and the bees over Christmas lunch.</p> <p>"I have only wrapped small presents in it now with strategically placed name labels," she said of her work-around.</p> <p>"I find it hilarious and have showed everyone. I put the post up on social media in case someone hadn’t noticed or may have left it too late to buy more paper ... and to give people a laugh!"</p> <p>Feeling the need to share, Nicole posted snaps of the paper in the Christmas Mums Australia Facebook group, and wasn't the only one to find it funny. Over 340 members of the group commented on Nicole's post.</p> <p>“This is the best!” one person commented.</p> <p>“That’s gold! I love it,” added another.</p> <p>As the laughter and jokes kept coming, many shoppers said that others shouldn’t be so surprised by the images, given Type, the store Nicole purchased from is known for selling cheeky items like this.</p> <p><em>Images: Typo</em></p>

Kyle's cheeky swipe at Ben Fordham after ratings victory

<p>Kyle Sandilands has shared the cheeky text he sent to Ben Fordham after the <em>Kyle and Jackie O Show</em> dominated in the radio ratings. </p> <p>The KIIS co-hosts knocked the dominant 2GB host off the number one spot in Tuesday’s GfK ratings, increasing their total audience share to 14.9 per cent,  up 2.1 percentage points.</p> <p>Meanwhile Fordham, who took over as host from Alan Jones in 2020, fell just behind with 14.8 per cent total audience share, down 2.1 per cent.</p> <p>As 2GB have held the title of ‘Sydney’s top-rating breakfast show’ for more than 15 years, Kyle and Jackie O's ratings victory is an impressive feat for the veteran broadcasting duo. </p> <p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/radio/kyle-sandilands-text-to-ben-fordham-onair-after-winning-radio-ratings/news-story/b094e1334468e23bf91e6a2adb6671e4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news.com.au</a>, the 51-year-old shock jock said he couldn’t help but rub salt in Fordham’s wound after hearing the news.</p> <p>“I sent him a text saying ‘Sorry Ben … x’, and he wrote back, ‘How did you go?’, because obviously I know everything in radio, he’s only new,” Sandilands joked.</p> <p>He added, “So I said, ‘We beat you by a little bit. By an ants d**k. And he wrote nothing back. I told him in the middle of his show. [But] I did it very nicely, I didn’t gloat and carry on. Just placed it in front of him.”</p> <p>The broadcasting duo have had a successful few weeks, after being <a href="https://oversixty.com.au/finance/legal/kyle-sandilands-reveals-why-he-s-never-been-fired" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inducted into the Hall of Fame</a> at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards last month.</p> <p><em>Image credits: Instagram</em></p>

Natalie Barr's cheeky swipe at Chris Hemsworth

<p>He may be one of Australia's most famous faces but Nat Barr couldn't help make a cheeky jab at Chris Hemsworth after he received a nod from the Queen.</p> <p>The Thor star was recognised in the Queen's Birthday 2021 Honours List on Monday morning, along with Sunrise sports presenter Mark Beretta.</p> <p>Nat and her co-host Michael Usher, who was filling in for David 'Kochie' Koch, delivered an on-air tribute to Mark who was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his incredible charity work.</p> <p>Beretts, as he's fondly known within the Sunrise family, has raised millions for cancer research through his annual cycling event, Tour de Cure, over the past 12 years.</p> <p>And, as Michael reminded him, he's in good company alongside homegrown Hollywood star Chris who was made a Member of the Order of Australia.</p> <p>But as the Aussie icon's name was mentioned, Nat decided to pull the comedy card and pretend to not know who he was.</p> <p>"Who?" she quipped as the two men laughed.</p> <p>Michael also jumped in to compare Mark with the muscled Marvel superhero, who was recognised for 'significant service to the performing arts, and to charitable organisations'.</p> <p>"Well, he's Thor and you're normally sore," he chuckled.</p> <p>Mark has achieved a staggering amount with Tour de Cure which he co-founded over a decade ago.</p> <p>The organisation has raised over $70 million, funded 550 cancer research projects and contributed to 47 international cancer breakthroughs.</p> <p>And despite going through a tough year due to the pandemic which say donations "dry up", Mark was proud to announce that the charity as on track to raise around $11 million this year.</p>

Cheeky attempt to cash in on Coon cheese name change

<p>In what appears to be a tongue in cheek post, a man has posted an empty packet of "vintage" Coon cheese for sale after it was rebranded to Cheer.</p> <p>Critics came after the 85-year-old dairy product, stating the original name had racist connotations which is what prompted the brand to announce the name change last week.</p> <p>Now a man in Perth is looking for ways to make a quick buck after he posted the empty packet on Facebook Marketplace and priced it at $50.</p> <p>“Vintage cheese packaging. No longer in circulation, you may have seen these about,” the seller writes on the post.</p> <p>“Some people found theirs to be racist but I can assure you this one was named after its creator, not under any bad motives.</p> <p>“One previous owner before me, stored in safely in a fridge.</p> <p>“Used to access the contense (sic) but is in as new condition.</p> <p>“Absolutely 100 per cent genuine, can post or deliver within Perth for a fee.”</p> <p>However, there is a fatal flaw in the man's plan as the old brand will remain on shelves until July.</p> <p>Shoppers can buy a full packet of cheese from supermarkets for between $6 to $8.</p> <p>The cheese was originally named after “Coon” after American cheese pioneer Edward William Coon who died in 1934, but the word is a racist slur against people of colour.</p>

Lisa Wilkinson issues on-air apology after cheeky quip

<p>Lisa Wilkinson was forced to issue an apology after taking a jab at in-flight crews in a segment about recent quarantine blunders.</p> <p>The Sunday Project host was grilling infectious disease expert, Robert Booy, about NSW’s most recent coronavirus case, a hotel worker who is believed to have caught the virus from a US flight crew.</p> <p>Lisa described the cabin crew workers as a “high risk group” and claimed the enjoy “significant exemptions” - a claim Mr Booy disputed.</p> <p>“Well, they’re probably not high risk because we’ve not had an example before and so if we start to get more and more problems with flight crews, well and good,” the University of Sydney professor said.</p> <p>“I know flight crew and I know what they do – they sleep. They usually spend a day or two and they’re off again. They don’t mix and dance and go out to parties. They’re not actually a high risk.</p> <p>But Lisa quickly responded: “You obviously know different flight crews to me.”</p> <p>Co-host Joel Creasy agreed, saying “yeah same”, as the three enjoyed an on-air laugh.</p> <p>But the tone quickly changed, with Lisa issuing an apology to “all the flight crews out there”.</p> <p>As the segment came to a close, Wilkinson clarified what she meant.</p> <p>“I feel like I should follow up there,” she said. “I know so many great flight crews, none of them are Qantas that would do the wrong thing. It’s just some of those other overseas flight carriers that might not be doing the right thing.”</p> <p>Her comments come after NSW Police admitted fault, saying that they “incorrectly allowed the two travellers to proceed to Melbourne”.</p> <p>“Police have conducted a review after two German Nationals flew to Melbourne after arriving in Sydney on an International flight in contravention of Public Health (COVID-19 Air Transportation Quarantine) Order 2020,” the statement read.</p> <p>“The pair – a 53-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy – arrived into Sydney International Airport about 9.45 am yesterday (Saturday 5 December 2020) on a flight from Tokyo, Japan, and were screened by NSW Health.</p> <p>“After being cleared, all travellers were directed to board a bus to hotel quarantine before the pair advised police that they were booked on a flight to Melbourne.</p> <p>“Police made inquiries as to travel and exemptions, which subsequently allowed the pair to travel to Melbourne on a domestic flight under standard protocols for exempt travellers.</p> <p>“On arrival in Melbourne, Victoria Health advised NSW Health that the pair were not in possession of an approved exemption and had been escorted to hotel quarantine, where they remain.</p> <p>“The NSW Police Force has since conducted a review into the circumstances of the incident and identified police had incorrectly allowed the two travellers to proceed to Melbourne.</p> <p>“Police practices and systems at the airport have also been reviewed and strengthened as a result of this incident.”</p>

Shopper left in stitches over cheeky message on roast pork

<p>A family has been left in stitches after they got a lot more than they bargained after picking up a slab of pork from Coles.  </p> <p>While the meat appeared to be normal looking in most ways, its skin had a cheeky message stamped across it.</p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7837291/coles-slab-pork.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/5fb245e715e247d6a5f52d731df64ec6" /></p> <p>The pattern of black dots under the rope holding the meat together seemed to read “sexy”.</p> <p>The lady took to the supermarket’s Facebook page to share the funny blunder.</p> <p>“Preparing pork for dinner tonight... thanks for the giggle, Coles,” she wrote.</p> <p>Yahoo News reports the woman found the pork at the Mango Hill store, in Queensland’s Moreton Bay region.</p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7837289/coles-slab-pork-2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/f60c4ff790f742b8ba547f8559c29656" /></p> <p>Upon closer inspection, others believed it may have in face been an ‘5’ or ‘3’ instead of the letter ‘S’.</p> <p>A Coles spokesperson says the matter is being investigated.</p> <p>“Customers love our 100% Australian pork and our roasts are very popular,” the Coles spokesperson said.</p> <p>“The branding on this roast seems a little cheeky and we’ll be following up with our supplier.”</p> <p> </p>
