Steve Waugh’s viral ice cream moment cracks up Karl Stefanovic

Karl Stefanovic laughs hysterically as he watches cricket legend Steve Waugh ‘demolish’ a Cornetto ice cream at the Australian Open


Karl Stefanovic enjoyed a laugh at cricket legend Steve Waugh’s expense on Friday’s episode of the Today show. 

The morning show host, 47, couldn’t control himself after watching a viral video of Waugh, 56, eating a Cornetto at the Australian Open.

‘Who can blame Steve Waugh for his enthusiastic demolition of an ice cream, which unfortunately for him was picked up by the cameras and has now gone viral,’ he said.

Karl then plated a clip of the incident, which had been spliced with footage from an episode of Seinfeld and turned into a meme on Twitter.

The meme is based on a famous scene from the ’90s sitcom where George Costanza is busted stuffing his face with a banana split at the U.S. Open.

The embarrassing moment is broadcast on live television, and Kramer is shown laughing hysterically as he watches George chow down.

Karl had a similar reaction to Kramer, and was completely unable to control himself as he giggled and chortled in the Today show studio.

He then admitted that he’d been in the same position as Waugh before, as he’d been caught eating meat pies at the NRL multiple times in the past. 

‘Having been at an NRL match and had 400 shots of me on the coverage eating pies, I kind of get it,’ he laughed.

‘Steve Waugh given the George Constanza treatment… spotted eating an ice cream at the #AusOpen,’ tweeted one user. 

‘How good Steve Waugh pulling a Costanza at the tennis,’ added another. 

‘Nothing like Steve Waugh looking old as hell to remind you you’re getting on in years too #AusOpen,’ said one.

Funny: 'Who can blame Steve Waugh for his enthusiastic demolition of an ice cream, which unfortunately for him was picked up by the cameras and has now gone viral,' laughed Karl
