I watched about 20 times, itâs perfect! Sheâs so good-natured, his reaction to her startle is priceless, and the mild rebuke of âWeâre working here man!â has no anger in it at all.
What a bunch of goofballs 
I know this guy was just bombing a live take, but after all the FHRITP shit thatâs going on, heâs lucky he didnât get a microphone shoved down his throat. Edit: Iâm not advocating for that, just saying that it wouldnât be surprising in context.
She is goodhearted about it, but I wonder if she wouldâve been that scared if another kind of person had done thatâŚ
My favorite KTLA reaction is still Chris Schaubleâs earthquake response:

Yeah, being startled like that doesnât give enough time to suppress the inner racism.
She may not have even been able to tell he was black just a person suddenly where there shouldnât have been.
Weird. I was just down at the blockade of Shellâs boat at the St. Johns bridge in Portland, and both reporters doing standups were blonde women wearing dresses. Is this a job requirement?
I look at this the exact opposite way. She is startled just because as she turns something is there, hell, it could have been a lion! Once she sees it is just a person, she instinctively smiles and laughs. That second reaction shows whats in her heart, and could not have been hidden.
You are probably right, however, the racism issue must be always be raised.
Yeah, the way she frantically shudders (before even turning and seeing the man) makes me think his sleeve/arm very softly brushed her and she thought âSpider!â or something. She seems super relieved the instant she identifies what it really is (not a spider⌠Whew!).
In this case, youâre reaching sweat-pea.

ahâŚI mean sweet-hog.
Geez, I thought the âthat wouldna happened if he had been whiteâ post was going to be first. How bloody predictable.
Well, Iâm glad she didnât have a badge and a gun.
Predictable? It wasnât first, and it wasnât even what I said. Thanks for playing, but do please bring your brain next time.
Why exclude his anchorwoman partner? Hers was funny too!
Come on. She is concentrating on her broadcast, someone sneaks up behind her and when she turns, he´s suddenly centimeters in front of her face. It could have been fucking Mickey Mouse and she would´ve been startled.
So itâs impossible, despite the long history of demonizing black men as hungry for white women, for her to be even more âstartledâ because it was a black man? (Iâm thinking itâs not.)
