Presenter wants woman to be judged for what they’re saying, not what they’re wearing.
Today show host Karl Stefanovic knows his biggest fans are on the internet.
Backstage, straight after filming another edition of the Today show this week, Stefanovic told BuzzFeed News: "A lot of stoners tend to find what I do funny and look I embrace it. Get on it guys, do whatever you need to do to have a laugh."
"If I'm laughing at something then some viewer out there in some obscure part of the internet will be laughing as well... *silence*... Fuck that was a good point mate," he says with a smile and a mocking cock of his head.
It's the trademark Stefanovic piss-take that comes at the end of almost every answer.

The 40-year-old Australian has won global fame with vintage hits like his attempt to crack jokes with the Dalai Lama, and his surrealist interview with Grumpy Cat.
But it was a social experiment, wearing the same blue suit every day for a year to expose the sexist blind-spots of the public, that has seen him gain unexpected fans.
"The reason I haven't done too many interviews about it is because I don't need to be part of the discourse surrounding whether or not it is sexist. That's not up to me," Stefanovic told BuzzFeed News.
