BBC Breakfast host Jon Kay was forced to issue a warning to his co-star Carol Kirkwood live on air as he insisted that one guess could cause chaos in the studio

BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay issued an on-air warning to colleague Carol Kirkwood, suggesting one particular guess could spark mayhem in the studio.

During Tuesday’s (November 25) broadcast of the popular programme, the presenter was back on screens with co-host Sally Nugent, delivering the day’s major news stories from Britain and around the world.

The pair were later joined by Carol, who appeared in the studio for her regular weather update. However, as she wrapped up the day’s forecast, Jon highlighted that the team needed to stay alert for their next visitor.

They were preparing to welcome a “huge dog”, prompting him to advise his colleague to finish their breakfasts quickly to prevent the animal from nabbing it. Jon began by enquiring: “Have you got any toast or cereal?” Carol responded: “No but I could smell yours and it’s making me really hungry.

“We’ve been eating ours just now, getting it out of the way because there is a huge dog on the way in a moment,” Jon clarified, reports the Express.

Sally confirmed: “Huge.” Jon then stressed: “You have been warned.” Sally interjected: “We’ve just had to hide our breakfast.” The team erupted in laughter as Jon gestured to his stomach and quipped: “I’ve hidden it in here.”

The touching segment featured the presenters discussing ‘ hero dogs ‘ following an incident where one man’s four year old canine helped rescue his life.

Jon stated: “We’ve got an amazing story. Adam Cooke went into cardiac rest while he was asleep, it was the quick thinking of his four year old day Polly that helped save his life.”

Sally went on to say: “The beautiful Golden Retriever woke up Adam’s wife Hannah, who then carried out CPR before an ambulance arrived.”

The programme then transitioned to a pre-recorded segment of the couple and their dog, where they shared their emotional experience.

Adam and Hannah confessed that they believed Polly had sensed Adam’s severe illness and alerted them.

Clearly touched, Adam recounted the moment he was reunited with Polly after his hospital stay: “I’m not going to shy away from it. I cried and I think she cried too because she was like ‘wow you’re back home'”.

Hannah chimed in: “I love her to bits and I think she is the best dog in the world.”

BBC Breakfast is broadcast every day from 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.

Give thanks, NFL fans, the headliners are set for this year’s Thanksgiving Day halftime shows.

Jack White will kick off the Turkey Day performances at the Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers game in Detroit. Later, Post Malone will take the stage as the Dallas Cowboys, playing at home, face off against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Lil Jon will perform at the Baltimore Ravens-Cincinnati Bengals matchup in Baltimore.

White and Malone shared the news in a pair of promo videos shared Sunday on Instagram, while Lil Jon’s appearance at M&T Bank Stadium was confirmed by the Ravens last week.

White’s Instagram reel was filmed at the White Stripes frontman’s Third Man Pressing Plant in Detroit, where an electric blue record “hot off the press” announces his Ford Field appearance.

Meanwhile, in Malone’s teaser, the “Circles” singer drives along a Texas highway as a voice on the radio advertises “the biggest matchup and one of the biggest artists of our time.”

“Bigger is always better. You know what I mean?” Malone asks Cowboys mascot Rowdy, riding shotgun, as the two haul a giant Salvation Army bucket in a big rig to AT&T Stadium. Once they arrive, they crash into a sign in general manager Jerry Jones’ parking spot and have a run-in with Cowboys place kicker Brandon Aubrey. Last year, Aubrey famously signed Malone’s jersey before a game against the New York Giants. The show will kick off the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign.

Malone’s slot is fitting, given that the Grammy-nominated artist came of age in Texas and his father once managed concessions for the Cowboys.

Malone previously had a cameo in “Beyoncé Bowl,” last year’s Emmy-winning NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show, joining Queen Bey for their duet “Levii’s Jeans.”

Jon Stewart’s biting satire may have made his new bosses squirm, but they went ahead and extended the comedian’s run on Comedy Central through December 2026.

The channel’s parent company, Paramount, announced Monday that Stewart will continue to host “The Daily Show” on Monday nights and serve as an executive producer through the end of next year.

Members of the show’s news team will continue to share Tuesday through Thursday hosting duties. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

“Jon Stewart continues to elevate the genre he created. His return is an ongoing commitment to the incisive comedy and sharp commentary that define The Daily Show,” Ari Pearce, Comedy Central’s manager said in a prepared statement. “We’re proud to support Jon and the extraordinary news team.”

Stewart’s contract was re-upped nearly four months after Paramount-owned sister network CBS notified Stephen Colbert, who rose to fame on “The Daily Show,” that it was dumping his late night show at the end of the season. The cancelation was revealed days after Colbert lambasted a $16 million settlement Paramount agreed to pay President Trump to end a lawsuit over edits to “60 Minutes.” Colbert called the arrangement “a big fat bribe.”

Paramount settled the Trump suit to win approval from the Trump administration of its sale to David Ellison’s Skydance Media and RedBird Capital Partners. CBS has said the reason for Colbert’s cancellation was financial, not political, although many people have expressed doubts.

Ellison took ownership of Paramount in August. Stewart has joked that he, too, might be tossed as the company tries to reposition itself to the political center.

Last week, the company began a deep round of layoffs, cutting 1,000 employees with plans to terminate another 1,000 in the coming weeks, in an effort to trim its workforce by 10%.

After a nine-year absence, Stewart returned as a host in February 2024. He had helmed the show for 16 years before taking a break in 2015. His current contract was expiring.

The show was hosted by Trevor Noah until 2022, when he stepped down. That prompted a rotation of guest hosts, including Kal Penn, Charlamagne tha God, Sarah Silverman and Michelle Wolf.

Last month, during a conversation with the New Yorker at a cultural festival, Stewart was asked whether he might stick around longer. “We’re working on staying,” Stewart told the New Yorker’s David Remnick.

The rotation of “The Daily Show” hosts also will include Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, and Desi Lydic with Troy Iwata and Grace Kuhlenschmidt.
