Eagle-eyed Today viewers spot a gaffe in the background behind hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo… so did you notice it?
Karl Stefanovic officially returned to the Today show on Tuesday following a two-week holiday in Europe.
However it was a bizarre detail in the background of the Channel Nine studio that really has fans talking.
Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the image of Sydney’s CBD skyline that was used as a backdrop featured a skyscraper once known as the AMP Centre, despite the fact it no longer exists.
The 1970s-built structure underwent a massive redesign between 2018 and 2021, which increased its height and modernised the tower’s form and design.
It was re-opened to the public in 2022, and is now known as the Quay Quarter Tower.

This means the image used in Today’s backdrop is at least five years old.
One anonymous user pointed out the faux pas on industry forum MediaSpy, writing: ‘That’s a very old Sydney skyline shot they use as a background. The AMP building in the middle doesn’t exist any more.’
The faux pas came a day after Today show viewers were left cringing when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese performed a dance live on-air during an interview with Today host Abo.

The Labor leader and Swiftie superfan, 60, appeared on the Today show on Monday morning to talk about the Anti Hero hitmaker – who is making just two stops in Sydney and Melbourne as part of her world tour.
The relatively brief Down Under schedule means major cities like Brisbane and Perth miss out.
When asked by host Sarah Abo if the PM had the power to make Swift ‘tour the whole country’, Albo laughed and revealed he’s a huge fan.

‘I’m looking forward to seeing Tay Tay I’ve got to say,’ he replied.
Swift’s hit track Shake It Off began to play in the background of the live interview, which sparked the hosts to start dancing and encourage Albo to join in.
Albo then proceeded to shake his hands and dance awkwardly to the song.
‘That’ll do. That’ll do us,’ reporter Alex Cullen laughed.
During the live chat, archived footage of the PM dancing to Taylor Swift alongside primary school children played alongside him
