The Project’s Sarah Harris’s makes lewd jokes about men’s private parts

Sarah Harris has repeatedly made lewd jokes about men’s genitals on episodes of The Sunday Project and The Project, rolling her eyes and making her co-hosts laugh in two segments within a day of each other.

The jokes come just a few months after Harris was criticized for her response to queer comedian Reuben Kaye’s now-infamous X-rated Jesus joke, which forced her to apologize and sparked calls for The Project’s cancellation.

Harris started the week with a joke on The Sunday Project during an interview with American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is currently on an Asia-Pacific tour of his show, Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization.

The Channel Ten star questioned the NASA attorney and cosmos philosopher about moon landing theories and asked Tyson about factors that conspirators say prove the 1969 Apollo 11 landing was faked.

“What about the flag, and the flag doesn’t flutter in the wind and there are no footprints in the moon dust?” Harris asked.

Next up on Tuesday night was a segment on Ryan Gosling’s (above) role as Ken in the new Barbie movie, which led Harris to refer to the Ken doll’s crotch

Sarah Harris had a hearty laugh at the Barbie movie story joking about the Ken character, saying, “That’s a big Kenergy for a doll – with a hill, don’t you think?”

Tyson replied, “there are footprints in the moon dust and flag, did you notice it had a stick in it or it would have just gone limp, okay?”

Harris replied, “I know that problem. There’s a nasal spray for it now,’ and shrugged his shoulders theatrically.

The camera then cut to fellow presenter Michael Hing laughing hysterically.

Two nights later, Harris fronted The Project with co-hosts Waleed Aly, Kate Langbroek and Sam Taunton, for a series of stories, including the launch of the new Barbie movie.

Tuesday’s focus was on a story about the character of Ken, Barbie’s outsider, played alongside Margot Robbie by American actor Ryan Gosling.

Harris introduced the segment, saying, “He may just be Ken, but Ryan Gosling is stealing the show leading up to the Barbie movie with his incredible ‘Ken-ergy’

“In a musical for the show, I’m Just Ken, Ryan sings an emotional ballad about, well, just being Ken.”

Excerpts from Ken’s song were played, showing him shirtless and flexing his muscles, as he sang, “It doesn’t seem to matter what I do, I’m always number two… Because I’m just Ken am, everywhere else I’d get an 10. Is it my destiny to live and die of blonde virginity?’

When the song ended, Harris stepped in and remarked, “That’s a big Kenergy for a doll – with a hill, don’t you think?”

A cheery Kate Langbroek said, “He’s really hot in that, to which Harris replied, “He’s very pretty…my Ken dolls didn’t look like that.”

Kate Langbroek: ‘How about that big fur pimping coat, I want some of that… very collectible.’

In March, Sarah Harris herself burst out laughing when The Project hosted comedian Reuben Kaye and spoke about the hatred he felt, particularly from the Christian community, for his sexuality and for dressing up in cross-dressing.

Sarah Harris bursts out about queer comedian Reuben Kaye’s Jesus joke in February, but is forced to apologize on air the next night

“I love Jesus, I love any man who can get nailed for three days straight and come back for more,” Kaye joked.

Harris seemed to think the joke was one-sided and dissolved into laughter with other members of the panel, while Waleed Aly seemed stunned by the joke.

The Jesus prank aired on Tuesday, February 28, and the following night, Harris along with Waleed Ally apologized live to viewers.

It didn’t stop the backlash, however, with some members of Australia’s Christian and Muslim communities launching a protest and social media was flooded with hashtags like #CancelTheProject and #BoycottTheProject.
