Netflix mocks central PA news clip that accidentally mixed race, wine and sexuality

Live television isn’t easy – ask anyone who’s ever even attempted a Facebook Live, or just tried recording themselves – things can get awkward in a hurry.

That happened recently in a central Pennsylvania news segment, and, what's worse, that segment is getting national attention.

It starts with Fox 43’s Matt Maisel beginning to introduce reporter Chris Garrett, who was “wining and dining” at Tutoni’s in York during Restaurant Week.

Maisel then asks Garrett, “I got to ask you, are you a white guy or a red guy” – referring to his wine preference.

Garrett, a black man, hesitates for a moment, shakes it off and says that he is a “white guy” as Tutoni’s co-owner Toni Calderone begins to laugh.

Then, Garrett doubles down, saying he “likes reds too, so I guess you can say I go both ways.”

The live segment continued as normal, then ended, but the attention it attracted continued to grow.

On Sunday, Joel McHale, formerly of The Soup and currently the host of Netflix’s “The Joel McHale Show,” picked up the segment. The new show sees McHale showing reality television and live news clips and mocking them.

He introduced the clip by saying, “If you don’t feel like a time-filling nothing segment can get real uncomfortable right from the get-go, oh you sweet summer child.”

“Following the clip, McHale quips,"Gee, thanks for making things awkward and sexual, but let’s go back to the matter at hand. Are you a white guy?”

The full clip can be found by watching 'The Joel McHale Show' on Netflix, in the episode titled "Roller Coaster?"
