David Campbell sets the record straight on the viral moment Kourtney Kardashian ‘knocked him off’

Although David Campbell’s viral awkward interview with Kourtney Kardashian happened seven years ago, the Channel 9 presenter hasn’t been able to escape it.

Since it first aired on Today Extra in 2016, it has gone viral on social media multiple times.

Now the presenter is reliving the awkward encounter, but on a much larger scale.

The cringe-inducing incident was featured on the recent episode of Kourtney and her family’s Hulu reality show, The Kardashians.

In the infamous 2016 interview, Kourtney appeared to rudely dismiss the host when he asked her a question about her sister Kim’s grisly robbery in France.

The reality star stared awkwardly into the distance for seven long seconds, with many viewers thinking she didn’t want to answer the question.

However, it seems David has found the humor in it, as he brought it up in Wednesday’s Today’s Extra.

“That’s kind of gone viral for the last seven years, people have been doing impressions of it and tagging me in things and it’s all really fun,” he said.

“But can you imagine my surprise when season three of The Kardashians ends, and even Kourtney herself can’t escape this,” he added, before showing viewers the moment it was brought up on the episode of The Kardashians.

In the episode, Kourtney is seen getting her hair and makeup done, before one of her entourage brings up the Aussie interview moment, saying it was “iconic.”

The reality star went on to explain that she has “anxiety” about doing press interviews.

While many thought she brutally snubbed David, he claims that’s not really what happened.

Speaking on Today Extra on Wednesday, he explained, “I want to highlight this fact because it probably won’t air on The Kardashians.

“But what happened is a PR came in, it was after the robbery in Paris, so we had to ask and then the famous blanking happened.

So we went into a commercial break because we lost her, but in the commercial break she absolutely messed up her PR person and after the commercial break she answered the question, she was an absolute trooper.

“And it always made me feel better about The Kardashians as a whole, she was amazing.”
