Gold Logie nominee and comedian Tom Gleeson appeared on the  Today show on Wednesday morning  and caused a ruckus, much to the chagrin of the hosts.

The  Hard Quiz  presenter  is known for not holding back and he lived up to his reputation as  was interviewed by the breakfast show’s hosts  Deborah Knight, Georgie Gardner and Tom Steinfort about his current campaign to win this year’s Gold Logie.

Naturally, Gleeson did not disappoint as he presented the hosts with a show    full to the brim with campaign merchandise. It  included t-shirts with his face on it, cushions and a box of condoms with the word “hard” printed on them.

“I got them extra large for Richard [Wilkins],” Gleeson quipped as he passed the condoms to the sniggering  Today  hosts.

“This is reckless television!” cried Georgie Gardner as Gleeson continued to unveil the show bag goodies.

There were innuendoes everywhere as the hosts played a clip of Gleeson joking he wanted to replace the  Today  show  with a show called  Hard Day.

After playing the clip, Gardner joked, “Which is probably preferable to  Soft Day.”

Steinfort chimed in with, “Depends who you ask.”

“It writes itself,” Gleeson said before pitching a slogan for the show. “Wake up hard in the morning!”

Naturally, Gleeson saved the best for last as he asked where former  Today  host Karl Stefanovic was.

“I need to ask a question before I go. Where is Karl? What have you done with him? When is he coming back?” he asked.

Gardner was quick on her feet and retorted,  “I told you last time where he was, I ate him,” before changing the topic.

Gleeson also spoke to KIIS FM’s  Kyle and Jackie O,  where he maintains that he helped last year’s Gold Logie winner Grant Denyer win the award.

“Well, I did start the hashtag #Denyer4Gold,” Gleeson said, according to  news.com.au. “The night before I launched my campaign I plugged it into Twitter, there were no matches. By the time the red carpet had ended there were two million. So I think it might have had an impact.

Gleeson reflected,  “Think of it this way: He [Denyer]  didn’t have a show on air last year and he won the Gold Logie. This year he’s had five shows on air and no support from me, wasn’t even nominated.

“I conclude that I might have had a hand in it,” he added.
