He may have raved about his "sensational" holiday in New Zealand, but a US news anchor had one serious problem with our country - the toilets.
Well, one toilet in particular, commonly found in our rural areas: the humble outhouse.
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Today show host MattLauer talked about his fishing trip to New Zealand last week - which he described as "the most sensational country in the world".
He and his friend stayed in a hut, which he said had "no electricity, no running water, no facilities, if you will".
What followed was a rather extraordinary rant on these "facilities" from the self-confessed "germophobe".
"You know what has not improved in 200 years? Outhouses," he said. "Even if you have a Porta Potty ... you know that once a week, they're going to pick that thing up, put it on the back of a truck and hose it down or steam it down. An outhouse is basically a hole in the ground with a toilet seat. There's nothing else to it."
Lauer even avoided using this "hole in the ground" as much as possible.
