In the clip, Harris is seen looking onto the road during filming and spotting his mother in a car on the street. As she drives closer, Harris looks embarrassed (and shocked) and says to the camera, "That's my mom, hold on."

Within seconds Harris' mum, Sandi, appears onscreen in a black car and sweetly shouts out, "Hi baby!"

The reporter laughs and playfully responds to his mother, saying "I'm trying to work right now and you're over here calling my phone."

He indicates that he's in the middle of something and jokes, "This is DeAngelo, you can say hi. And don't be holding up traffic because you got cars behind you."
