Today show goes off the rails when a presenter’s tooth falls out live on air

Things took a surreal turn on Channel Nine’s Today show on Friday when sports host Tony Jones lost a tooth during live broadcasts.

The team was broadcasting from Melbourne for the races when Jones announced at 6.35am that one of his teeth had just fallen out.

The 61-year-old told his colleagues not to mock him, but they had to laugh when he admitted, “I feel like I’m 99 or something.”

The bizarre moment started after a news bulletin about the stabbing of Arsenal player Pablo Mari near Milan, Italy.

“Can I say sorry from the start if you say something funny and I’m not laughing, a tooth fell out this morning,” he said.

He then showed co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Allison Langdon his missing tooth and they staggered in horror, prompting him to say, “It’s not that bad!”

“It’s a crown that was put in place about 30 years ago,” Jones added. “I feel like I’m 99 or something.”

Although his slit smile was not visible on the screen, his colleagues sitting to his left could see him, and it slightly affected his speech.

It comes weeks after Langdon suffered an unfortunate Freudian slip when she accidentally called an American football team by the wrong name.

While covering the previous day’s NFL clash between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams on October 5, she erroneously referred to the 49ers as the “69ers.”

A sixty-nine is a sexual position in which two people perform oral sex on each other, usually with the woman on top of the man, in a shape similar to the number 69.

“I guess we’ll leave here in the morning and we’ll all go home and raise our kids,” the 43-year-old began.

“Looks like they didn’t do either yesterday,” she added, referring to co-host Stefanovic and newscaster Alex Cullen.

‘They were watching a football game in America: the Rams [versus] the San Francisco 69ers.”

Her co-hosts were momentarily speechless as several crew members in the background laughed and gasped.

‘Wow! 49ers!’ Cullen said, correcting her, causing Stefanovic to joke that Langdon’s suggestion “sounds much more interesting” than watching a football game.

The presenters didn’t stop there as they continued to grill their red-faced colleague, who buried her head in her hands in shame.

“Yeah, maybe a lot of people pay to see them,” Cullen commented, to which Stefanovic replied, “That’s much harder to explain to your wife!”

Langdon tried to save herself by continuing her story about the guys watching NFL instead of spending time with their families.

“The point is, you were watching football…” she said, before Stefanovic interrupted her with, “No, point is made!”
