Sports presenter Danika Mason apologized on Thursday after drinking alcohol before Channel Nine's Today show live Winter Olympics broadcast. During the segment, Mason slurred her words and went off-topic, discussing iguanas when the conversation was about coffee.
Studio host Karl Stefanovic attempted to cover for Mason, suggesting cold weather was affecting her speech. Mason took full responsibility, stating "I want to take full responsibility, it's not the standard I set myself." Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed support, saying "I'm pro Danika" and attributing the incident to time difference and tiredness.
