Karl Stefanovic handed in his breakfast show microphone package for a police car radio on Monday morning as he made a very surprising career change.
The Today presenter, 49, underwent intensive police training in a nail-biting segment of the Network Nine show.
After jumping into a police car to go on a ‘chase’ through Sydney with another police officer, the media personality was later allowed to try his hand at the wheel.
As a sergeant sat in the passenger seat of the law enforcement vehicle to escort him, Karl could be seen driving around a series of traffic cones.
At a few crucial points the television presenter appeared to lose control of the vehicle before pulling it back into line, while the police officer laughed at his antics.

Karl recently came face to face with Sydney dating guru Jana Hocking after she claimed Australian men are ‘duds’.
The pair locked heads earlier this month when the glamorous columnist complained in an article for Ny Breaking Australia that Australian men on the dating scene are often overweight, unkempt and poorly dressed.
Jana doubled down on her belief that Australian men are “duds” during an appearance on the Today show, telling hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo: “They’re just lazy.”

“They come to dates in board shorts when you come to a date. Because first they will ask you, “Just come to my house.” Like I’ve never had so much Uber food in my life!’ she complained.
Jana also complained that men would ask her to meet them in the pub and then spend the whole night watching football or cricket on television.
Karl wasn’t convinced and interjected, “Isn’t that a good date though?”
As a sergeant sat in the passenger seat of the law enforcement vehicle to escort him, Karl could be seen driving around a series of traffic cones.
‘No! That’s a terrible date!’ Jana exclaimed, adding, “We live near beaches. We have art galleries!’
“Who wants to go to an art gallery?” Karel scoffed. “You won’t find a real man willing to do that.”
Jana then implored Australian men to ‘up their game’ by wearing perfume, checking for bad breath and brushing their teeth regularly.
However, Karl refused to give in and concluded the segment by declaring: “I still think the Aussie boys are the best.”
