Sorry To This Man! Keke Palmer's Reaction To Getting Asked On A Date Goes Viral

Our good sis was totally gagged when a guest on her talk show decided to shoot his shot.
Watch ‘The Bachelorette’ Contest Mike Johnson Ask Keke Palmer On A Date
By Jasmine Grant · Updated December 6, 2020

Keke Palmer makes for one excellent daytime TV host. She’s funny, quick on her feet and is easily meme-able. However, the host and actress was taken aback when a guest recently asked her out live on television…right after revealing he’d hooked up with another celebrity!

During an appearance on Strahan, Sara and Keke, popular The Bachelorette contestant Mike Johnson addressed his rumored relationship with singer Demi Lovato. The two of them sparked dating rumors after he appeared on her Instagram story, but it seems things between them have fizzled out. “I made a mistake. I don’t like dating in public,” he confessed.

He then turns to Palmer, asking, “But if I were to ask you if we could go on a date in the public…” The audience roars in appluase, and a stunned Palmer promptly asks her co-hosts to change the topic. “What’s the next question?” she asks, hiding behind her cue cards. Michael Strahan playfully eggs the situation on, warning Johnson, “if you mess up, I’m coming for you.”

Palmer wrapped it up by reminding everyone she has a job to do. “Ladies, I’m at work,” she said, gesturing her co-hosts to keep the questions coming.

Article continues after video.

Palmer never gave Johnson a “yes or no” answer, but made it clear that she’s not interested when turning herself into a meme.

Him: I love you

Of course, it wasn’t long before the internet joined in on the fun.
