Larry Emdur made a huge gesture to his colleagues at The Morning Show after his landslide Gold Logie win.
The TV host, 59, took home the biggest award at Sunday’s awards ceremony as well as the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter in a milestone feat.
He has been busy celebrating over the past few days and his hilarious email to Seven staff following his victory has now been revealed.
In the message, obtained by news.com.au, Larry announced that he would be throwing a huge pizza party at the network’s Sydney office on Thursday to celebrate.
He confirmed he had enlisted Happy As Larry Pizza Truck to provide a catered lunch for up to 150 employees in a very kind all-expenses-paid gesture.
Larry also hilariously revealed the one question all his colleagues have been asking him – whether his backside has recovered after getting it tattooed live on air after his win.
‘Hi everyone, Larry here, my arse is OK, thanks for asking in the lift, in the foyer, in the carpark, in the studio, in the coffee shop,’ he penned in the email.
‘I know this Logie belongs to you all, it’s been a huge team effort and I know, willingly or unwillingly, most of you were roped into the Logies campaign.

‘I can only think of one way to thank you all, all at once. PIZZA!!!!! Please leave your lunch at home, I’ve organised a pizza truck.’
He ended the email by joking that even his colleagues who voted for Andy Lee would be welcome to grab themselves a slice of pizza in his usual good humour.
After winning the Gold Logie, Larry left viewers in stitches with his hilarious foul-mouthed victory speech, where he admitted he was shocked to have won.
The Morning Show host had the crowd roaring, making light of the number of times his programs have been axed over the years and his wide range of questionable hosting gigs.
He also referenced the bizarre promise he made the week before to get all the nominees’ initials tattooed on his backside, in a vow he has amazingly kept.
‘I just remembered I did say if I won this, I’d get all the nominees’ initials tattooed on my a**e live tomorrow morning,’ he began, drawing laughter from the audience.
‘Sorry, Sylvie [his wife], I know we had some fancy hotel planned but looks like I’ll be doing squats all night!’

‘I love this business so much. I love being in TV, and I’ve never wanted to do anything else,’ he went on in his touching speech.
‘Whether it’s sitting on The Morning Show couch interviewing Lindy Klim, who has invented a new product – a face mask for vulvas; or a 150kg truck driver who has won on The Price Is Right dry humping me; or being the most axed man in television.’
On Monday morning, he was forced to make good on his wild promise, stripping off his pants on live breakfast TV to get the intimate permanent inking.
He also gushed over the support he had received from fans in a sweet Instagram video, admitting his hands hurt from messaging everyone back.
‘Oh man, my feet are so sore. My fingers are sore from texting. I’ve got the worst headache. My a**e is sore from the tattoo,’ he joked.
The TV star has been a recognisable face on Aussie screens since the age of 19, but has never before secured a win at the TV Week Logie Awards.
