Michael Clarke, Jade Yarbrough video: Karl Stefanovic brushes off melee on Today trends now
Today show host Karl Stefanovic ignored the biggest the story in Australia on Thursday - the morning after footage surfaced of him intervening in a wild argument between his sister-in-law Jade Yarbrough and good mate Michael Clarke.
There was no mention of the leaked video - recorded while Stefanovic and Clarke were on holiday in Noosa with their respective partners on January 10 - at the start of the broadcast as he and co-host Sarah Abo went through the day's major headlines.
The fracas did make the early news bulletin over on Channel Seven's Sunrise, however, with Edwina Bartholomew giving a detailed rundown of the incident shortly after 5:30am.

Stefanovic, 48, and Clarke, 41, clashed at a park in Noosa, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, earlier this month while on holiday with their respective partners, sisters Jasmine and Jade Yarbrough.
It's understood the melee was over Clarke's ex-girlfriend Pip Edwards, with Jade accusing the former Australian cricket captain of cheating with the P.E Nation designer.
Dramatic footage obtained by The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday shows a shirtless Clarke being slapped by his angry girlfriend.

All hell broke loose after Clarke, Stefanovic and their loves were having dinner at a beachside restaurant with their celebrity accountant mate Anthony Bell.
'I'm wrong? I'm f**king wrong! You're a f**king liar. I can see everything. You called her,' Yarbrough howls.
Clarke tries to reassure Yarbrough he didn't cheat on her and swears on his young daughter Kelsey Lee's life he was with Bell on the night in question last month.
'Baby you're wrong, you're wrong,' he insists.
'Baby, baby, Belly was at the house. I swear on my life, I swear at my life… That's not true, it's not true.'

Clarke sparked up a romance with Jasmine Yarbrough's younger sister Jade in July 2022 (they are pictured here in November 2022)
Clarke and Edwards dated on and off from June 2020 until December last year
But Yarbrough doesn't believe his protests and claims she spoke to Edwards.
'You're f**king lying to me. You are a piece of s**t. I just spoke to her. What is wrong with you?' she screams.
Clarke replies: 'It's not true, it's not true.'
Stefanovic's wife Jasmine eventually steps in, grabs her
