Karl Stefanovic has been spotted busting a move with Bob Katter in a hilarious dance floor act at a charity gala.
The Today host, 50, took to Instagram on Monday to share a clip of himself exuberantly dancing beside the Independent MP at the black tie event for Liam's Life Saving List and appeared to mock Mr Katter's moves.
Liam's Life Saving List aims to raise awareness about blood stem cell donation for North Queensland father-of-two Liam O'Brien, who died in June 2024 following a two-year battle against a rare form of leukemia.
In the clip, Stefanovic and Mr Katter, who was Liam's uncle, boogied without a care, while other guests watched the pair in amusement.
The independent MP for the north Queensland seat of Kennedy punched into the air in what the Today host called "Bob's famous upper cut dance".
Stefanovic then hilariously pouted while pointing with both hands, even dropping low at one point and gyrating his hips from side to side.
"Raising a lot of money for Liam's Lifesaving List gala was extraordinary," the TV personality wrote in the caption.
"Liam would be so proud. You are making a difference."
Fans flocked to the comments to champion Karl's fun-loving personality, with one person writing: "Love you Karl, you are such a larrikin".
"Looks fabulous. Good on you guys," another person wrote.
"Gold! Good on you both," a third person said.
Another fan wrote: "You did a cracking job, Karlos!", while one more added: "Sensational, Karl. Your charity work is sooo appreciated".
Karl and Mr Katter have enjoyed a friendship for more than a decade, with the Today host describing the firebrand politician as "massively nutty" in a 60 Minutes clip in 2013 while Stefanovic was a reporter for the show.
"The guy is a loose cannon," the host said of his pal.
"That's the thing about him that is also endearing, and so he wears these clothes, and he's got this big hat, and that's part of Bob Katter's persona, and that's certainly the part of his personality that he likes to project."
Karl's latest appearance with Mr Katter comes as the Today host continues amusing fans with his hilarious ways, recently showcasing his nighttime beauty routine and showing off his ripped physique at the gym.
He has been open about his weight loss journey, having once tipped the scales at 105kg in 2020, as his billionaire pal James Packer urged him to hit the gym following unflattering photos of the star at his heaviest.
