‘Immature and insensitive’: Sunrise host slammed over on-air joke - Sky News Australia

Newly appointed Sunrise host Mylee Hogan has come under fire over a comment about Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath. 

The awkward moment happened during Wednesday's segment about a viral TikTok prank, where social media users video their parents' reaction when told their favourite celebrity had died suddenly - when in fact they hadn't. 

Hogan reported on the viral trend before being cut off by stand-in host Mark Beretta who said the prank "could be the stupidest thing I've ever seen". 

"I don't like it at all. We shouldn't be running that. Get it off. Get it off now," he said.

Beretta went on to discuss their next guest appearance - Glenn McGrath who was speaking about the Boxing Day Test - when Hogan jokingly said "Glenn McGrath died". 

Beretta and co-host Edwina Bartholomew were quick to react, dismissing Hogan's comment while she continued to laugh it off. 

"Don't even...that's not funny," Bartholomew said. 

"I don't get that at all. That’s so not funny…its crazy," Beretta added. 

Hogan has since copped major backlash on social media about the comment, with one viewer slamming it as "'immature and insensitive". 

"We will not be watching Sunrise anymore, if that girl with the black hair is reading the news again," one user wrote on their Facebook page. 

Others pointed out it was particularly insensitive as McGrath's wife had died from breast cancer in 2008.

"She made a comment about Glen McGrath dying and laughed. Doesn't she know that Glen's first wife Jane died tragically from breast cancer," the post continued. 

"I agree totally, that was awful," another commented. 

"You're not wrong...that is sickening. This is what I call offensive. I stopped watching 7 some time ago because I disagreed with their lead host's treatment of a woman," a third added. 

Adblock test (Why?)
