Today Show host Karl Stefanovic’s social media account was hijacked by his co-host Sarah Abo on Monday morning.
The 50-year-old Channel Nine presenter agreed to give Sarah, 39, access to his phone to post from his X (formerly Twitter) account during the breakfast show.
‘I’m going to give you access, Sarah, to my X account,’ he said.
‘So you can go nuts on it and you can say whatever you want. All right?’
Sarah started by sharing a tweet informing fans she was now in control of Karl’s social media account.
‘Hi, it’s Sarah Abo here. As promised I have control of Karl’s account for a while. Aka Any requests..? I don’t have a Twitter account so this will be fun,’ she wrote.

She then joked about him going to Turkey to get a hair transplant.
‘I’m going to turkey to get my hair done properly,’ she tweeted several minutes later.
Sarah also joked that NSW will win this year’s State of Origin, despite Karl being a longtime supporter of Queensland.
It comes after Karl shocked his all-female panel last week with a very X-rated remark.
The Channel Nine star had co-hosts Sarah, Jayne Azzopardi and Danika Mason exchanging awkward looks and laughter during Wednesday morning’s program.
‘Karlos, you owe me. I’m going to find the clip. Because last Thursday you promised live on air…’ Sarah began before being interrupted by her co-host.
‘The what?! Find the what?’ Karl asked.
Sensing the direction Karl was taking the conversation, Sarah replied with an emphatic, ‘The clip, with a P.’

‘Oh, I wasn’t saying that,’ Karl replied laughing, comically feigning ignorance about his earlier reference to a part of the female anatomy.
As his co-stars laughed and buried their heads in their hands, Karl, chuffed with the risqué exchange, decided to keep the joke going.
Throwing his hands in the air, defeated, Karl added, ‘I haven’t found that one! That’s not a surprise!’ as a shocked Jayne Azzopardi offered: ‘No, no, no no.’
Sensing the tide of public opinion was shifting against him, Karl decided to throw Sarah under the bus, declaring: ‘Hey, it’s her fault! Who says clip?’
‘You’re deflecting because you promised to wear a piece of clothing,’ Sarah replied referring to her opening statement.
Still laughing, Karl shot back, ‘Deflecting? That’s like a 180 in a cul-de-sac.’
