Australian sports presenter Danika Mason has apologized after drinking alcohol before a Channel Nine's Today show live Winter Olympics broadcast. During the segment, Mason slurred her words and went off-topic, discussing iguanas when the focus was on coffee.
Studio host Karl Stefanovic attempted to cover for Mason, suggesting cold weather might be 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 for Mason, saying "I'm pro Danika. Good on her."
