Larry Emdur won his first ever Logie Awards on Sunday night when he took home silver and won gold at the 2024 ceremony at the Star in Sydney.
And the next day he had to fulfill a bizarre promise he had made the week before: he took off his pants during a live broadcast on morning television and got a tattoo on his buttocks.
The 59-year-old Morning Show host found himself in a compromising position on Monday when he had the initials of other Gold Logie nominees permanently engraved into his skin.
Larry lay face down on a portable tattoo table in the middle of the breakfast studio as co-host Kylie Gillies looked on.
The tattoo artist, Zach Spiros of Bondi Ink, covered his bare lower body with a black towel, while pulling his pants up over his buttocks.
“You have no idea what conversation we just had. Sorry, 17 years and I’ve never seen it from this angle,” Kylie, 57, said, laughing.
Larry said, ‘I can’t see what’s going on and Kylie comes over to me and says, “It’s too close to your slit.”‘
Kylie laughed: ‘I’m living the best life of my life… it’s even shaking.’

Larry explained to viewers: ‘I said if I won the Gold Logie I was so sure I wouldn’t win that I would get the nominees’ initials tattooed on my bum.’
As the tattoo artist began pushing the needle into Larry’s skin, he struggled to explain what the artwork would look like, joking the entire time.
“I guess I’m more worried about… where’s Zach’s thumb?” he said at one point, adding a moment later, “Is this what it’s like when they take you into that little room at Border Security? I think so.”
Meanwhile, Kylie stood behind Larry, trying to take videos and photos of his buttocks as they were being tattooed.
“Oh, Kylie, after 17 years, this is the end of our relationship,” Larry joked, at one point calling her a “pervert” as Kylie laughed.

The big reveal of Larry’s tattoo was a line drawing of the Logie Award that the TV was holding. The letters ‘JM RI AK SK TA AL’ were written in the TV.
The letters were the initials of the other Gold Logie nominees that Larry beat on Sunday night: Julia Morris, Robert Irwin, Asher Keddie, Sonia Kruger, Tony Armstrong and Andy Lee.
Larry won his first ever Logie Award on Sunday night, taking home the gold at the 2024 ceremony in Sydney, leading the celebrity winners.
The TV star has been a regular face on Australian television screens since she was 19, but has never won an award at the prestigious awards ceremony before.
In a landmark victory, Larry was crowned most popular presenter and won the Bert Newton Award, his first ever Logies win.

In an incredible feat, he was later crowned winner of the coveted Gold Logie after cleaning up after himself on that important night.
The host of The Morning Show took the stage at the Logies ceremony drew thunderous applause from the audience, as he mocked the number of times his programs had been cancelled over the years and his wide range of dubious presenting jobs.
‘I I just remembered I said if I won I would get all the nominees’ initials tattooed on my butt live tomorrow morning,” he began, drawing laughter from the audience.
Sorry, Sylvie [his wife]I know we had a fancy hotel planned, but it looks like I’ll be doing squats all night!’.
‘[Sunrise host] Nat Barr looks at me and says, “Honey, I have to get up in 25 minutes,” he continues, referring to the nearly six-hour awards ceremony.
“I love this business so much. I love working in TV and I’ve never wanted to do anything else.
‘Whether it’s sitting on the couch of The Morning Show and interviewing Lindy Klim, who invented a new product – a face mask for vulvas; or a 300-pound truck driver who won The Price Is Right and dry humps me; or being the most trashed man on television.’
Larry had the audience laughing during his Gold Logie speech when he joked that he was ‘the most rejected man on television’
