It looks like Fox 29's Steve Keeley is the real joke.

A news reporter attempted to make an inappropriate joke live on the air this week, but was quickly shut down by the morning host he was teasing.

FOX 29’s Steve Keeley was doing a report on a snowstorm in Philadelphia when he commented on host Mike Jerrick’s pink sweater, saying he was going to help the host show it off with a trick he learned back in school.

He then instructed Jerrick to place his hands in a certain way that he moronically thought would make the host look gay or effeminate.

Jerrick quickly caught on and stopped the act, saying, “I don’t think this is appropriate,” before turning it into an “I’m a Little Teapot” pose.

“I’m sure I’ll think that’s funny later,” Keeley says.

“So will HR,” Jerrick retorts.
