The Today show has been busted recycling a segment from entertainment reporter Brooke Boney's old employer, youth radio station Triple J.
The cringeworthy sketch, which aired on Tuesday, involved newsreader Tom Steinfort bursting into weatherman Steve Jacobs' bedroom accompanied by a man in military regalia playing the bagpipes - loudly.
The premise of the segment was that Steve had 'slept in' and failed to show up to work. However, a remarkably similar skit first aired on Triple J in September 2018.
Wake up, Steve! On Tuesday, Today's newsreader Tom Steinfort (left) burst into weatherman Steve Jacobs' bedroom accompanied by a man in military regalia playing the bagpipes
The segment began with Tom stealthily entering Steve's bedroom carrying a pile of alarm clocks set to go off at 3am.
After Steve failed to wake up to the alarms, Tom attempted several other wake-up methods, including blasting an air horn and yelling through a megaphone.
The scene ended with Steve eventually being woken by the the sound of bagpipes blasting through his bedroom.
