Today show hosts read mean comments about themselves as one viewer compares Karl Stefanovic to Kim Jong Un and another mocks Sarah Abo’s teeth

Today hosts Karl Stafanovic and Sarah Abo have found themselves on the receiving end of scathing online insults.

On Wednesday, the presenters read out mean comments about themselves in a hilarious Instagram video.

Karl burst out laughing when one social user compared him to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

‘Why does Karl do his hair like Kim Jong Un?’ the comment read.

Another user mocked Sarah’s teeth, writing: ‘Sarah if you’re a true blue Collingwood supporter, where did you get those front teeth from?’

‘Why would a professional like Sarah go on the Today show?’ another wrote while a third said: ‘Why does Sarah laugh at nothing?’

After reading the comment out loud, Sarah said: ‘I’m not laughing that’s not funny.’

She then read out another mean message, which said: ‘I feel bad for Sarah Abo, I hope she’s the first to outlast Karl.’

One viewer also wrote: ‘Sarah loves looking at herself in the monitor.’

Karl then continued to read comments about himself.

One viewer compared him to Phil Dunphy while another questioned why he looks like Richard Wilkins.

One person also wrote: ‘Karl with bleached blonde hair is such a slay.’

The video comes after Karl recently shocked American fans when he played a wild prank on Today breakfast show viewers.

The Nine star tricked fellow host Sarah by pretending he just received breaking news about the arrest of former U.S president Barack Obama.

A video of the stunt went viral on TikTok, with Americans getting caught up in the fake news segment as well – until the popular presenter broke down laughing.

The video kicked off with Karl looking somber as he informed viewers at home of ‘breaking news’ he just received ‘out of the United States’.

‘Former U.S. president Barack Obama – we’re just waiting to verify this – but we’re hearing that former U.S. President Barack Obama has been arrested,’ he said.

He continued: ‘It may be on historic charges, related to when he was in the White House, so pretty significant.’

Shocked by the apparent news being fed to Karl via an earpiece, all co-anchor Sarah could say was: ‘Wow.’

However, Karl wasn’t able to keep the joke going for long as he quickly broke down laughing, revealing the whole story was actually a fake.

Sarah slapped his arm and promptly stormed off stage as the veteran breakfast show host was left in hysterics behind the desk.
