"I can't answer that!": Karl's cheeky question stumps JFK's daughter
Today show host Karl Stefanovic left the US ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy - John F Kennedy's daughter - in fits of laughter after he posed a cheeky personal question on Wednesday morning.
Stefanovic didn't miss the opportunity to play cupid for his daughter by asking the US Ambassador about the relationship status of her youngest son, Jack Schlossberg.
“I hope that you don’t take any offence (to) what I am going to ask. My daughter wanted to know if your son is single?” he said.
This elicited a laugh from the ambassador, who smoothly deflected the question by saying: “You would have to ask him. I can’t answer that.”
Stefanovic laughed and said: “Good deflection.”
The ambassador played along and said: “Your daughter must be so mad at you right now. I would be so mad if I was your daughter.”
The Today show host has two daughters, Ava, 18 and Harper, 3, and continued the joke by saying he was asking on behalf of Harper.
“Then there is something really wrong with you,” the ambassador quipped.
Stefanovic's co-host Sarah Abo joined in on the teasing and said: “Welcome to what the rest of the nation already knows.”
Schlossberg, 30, is the only grandson of former US president John F. Kennedy, and has a considerable social media following with over 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Besides his dashing looks, the 30-year-old also graduated with a law degree from the prestigious Harvard Law School.
