Larry Emdur was left bemused after he found an uninvited guest on his paddle board.
The Morning Show host, 56, took to Instagram on Boxing Day to share footage of the brazen creature appearing unfazed as it lounged in his backyard.
In the video, Larry is seen panning across his board before his locks in on the ‘pre-historic, beady-eyed lounge lizard’.

‘Hey you little sh*t!!! There’s only room for one pre-historic, beady-eyed lounge lizard on my paddle board, so bugger off!!’ he wrote.
Larry’s brush with the lizard comes after he was hailed as one of Channel Seven’s most valuable assets after taking over The Chase.
The veteran presenter reportedly just signed a new seven-figure contract with the network after stepping in to replace Andrew O’Keefe as host.

‘Between The Morning Show and The Chase, Emdur is now on the big bucks,’ an insider said in a New Idea report in August.
‘After rounds of negotiations, he’s sitting very pretty. He has effectively saved the network’s most successful game show – so he’s worth every penny!’ the source said.
Seven execs are now reportedly even considering Emdur as a possible candidate to replace David ‘Kochie’ Koch when he retires as host of breakfast show Sunrise.

Emdur’s first episode of The Chase went to air that same month during Seven’s coverage of the Olympics.
He said ahead of his debut: ‘I’m thrilled to be the host of The Chase and I can’t wait to see the look on my mum’s face when she hears me saying all those big words.
‘I’m excited to be starting on Monday during the Olympics. Mind you, any of the Chasers will happily tell you this show is the Olympics of quizzing.’

Emdur is no newbie to hosting game shows, having previously hosted The Price Is Right and Wheel of Fortune.
‘We’ve got a beautiful thing happening on The Morning Show, top of the ratings for 14 years and I love working with [co-host] Kylie Gillies and the team,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.
‘I hope people continue to enjoy the show the way that they have over the years and I hope I bring something different to it as well.’
