It was the moment we all knew was coming, and while delivering the opening monologue, Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes went there.
And he went there hard.
Dredging up #ubergate, Hughesy went guns blazing and joked about the situation when an Uber driver recorded’ a conversation between Karl and Peter Stefanovic in which the brothers were caught complaining about their high profile colleagues.
It was just as well the Today Show host was at the awards ceremony and sharing a table with his younger brother and co-host Georgie Gardner.
“You shouldn’t have been bitching about your work colleagues. You shouldn’t have,” lectured the comedian.
“I’m sure Georgie is very happy, isn’t she there. Still on the fence Georgie or did you take a pale off it and hit him in the head with it?” continued Hughesy, referencing when Stefanovic accused his colleague of “sitting on the fence”.
It was at that moment that Karl and Georgie shared a very pointed look as they laughed across the table they shared, no doubt having prepared themselves for this moment.
Hughesy also had some advice for the breakfast presenter, just in case either of the Stefanovic brothers found themselves in a repeat situation of that night.
"Whether it's an cab or Uber mate, leave a tip," he said.
"[Then] they don't have to make any extra money. Selling the story to New Idea. Leave a tip."
No doubt, bracing themselves for this moment, the older Stefanovic brother laughed along the opening monologue while Gardner also took it in good humour, with only a few (understandable) side-eye filled smiles.
The people of Twitter were ready for the moment too:
What did you think of Dave Hughes' roast?
