Brooke Boney shocked viewers Tuesday morning when she recreated a very racy performance while imitating 1950s sex symbol Marilyn Monroe.
The Today presenter, 36, gave a great rendition of the icon’s song Happy Birthday Mr President live on the breakfast show.
Fellow host Alex Cullen also joined in on the daring performance, recreating the moment Marilyn serenaded President John F. Kennedy for his 45th birthday in 1962.
Hosts Sarah Abo and Karl Stefanovic kicked off the wild moment by joking that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was buried with Marilyn when he died in 2017.
Karl, 49, made the lewd joke: “You can’t hold back an old dog,” as his co-presenter, 37, cringed.

But Alex kept up the joke, as the sports presenter, 43, began recreating Marilyn’s iconic song Happy Birthday Mr President in a breathy voice.
Brooke joined in moments later, singing a few bars of the lyrics that were originally sung by the old Hollywood star in an intimate and sensual tone.
Marilyn sang her sensual version of Happy Birthday to former President Kennedy in 1962 at Madison Square Garden for his 45th birthday.
Fellow presenter Alex Cullen, 43 (pictured) also joined in the daring performance, recreating the moment Marilyn serenaded President John F Kennedy for his 45th birthday in 1962.
It was the actress’s last major public appearance before her death, at age 36, less than three months later, on August 4.
Brooke’s impersonation of the famous event comes after she confirmed she is leaving the Channel Nine breakfast show to pursue her dreams in an emotional announcement.
The TV host has been part of the show as a news and entertainment reporter for five years, but will now leave to study abroad.
Presenters Sarah Abo, 37 (right) and Karl Stefanovic, 49 (left), cringed and laughed in embarrassment at the awkward moment.
She confirmed on air just over a week ago that she will move abroad to study at the University of Oxford from September and will leave the program after the Paris 2024 Olympics in August.
This morning I have very important news for you. “I was offered a place at Oxford University later this year, which means I will be leaving the program after the Olympics,” Brooke said.
“I don’t want to go into too much detail now, because there will be plenty of time for goodbyes and thank yous, but I just wanted to share that good and bad news with all of you this morning.”
Brooke will study an intensive year-long Master of Public Policy course, which focuses on economics and policymaking.
