- Please welcome ABC News correspondent
and host of What Would You Do,
John Quiñones.
(applause) - Thank you, man.
Thank you, thank you.
- [Steve] How you been, man?
- I've been good, good.
Thank you for having me here, Steve.
- No man, I mean I've seen you a lot.
We just never met.
- [John] I know.
- It was, so it's really great.
And this is like very timely for
what we're talkin' about, man.
- Yeah, you know we did,
we reenacted.
We saw this on video, right,
when it went viral,
the story of Corey and the Parkers,
and we said, "We can do that one better."
So a few weeks ago we went to Mississippi,
a little town in Mississippi,
and we reenacted this whole thing.
We brought a special clip just for you.
What will people do who don't know
they're on hidden camera, other diners?
What will they say or do?
Check it out.
- All right, well let's take a look.
- Excuse me.
- Huh?
- Are you kids okay?
- They're fine, I'm their babysitter.
They're fine.
- I'm sorry, this is a very strange situation.
- I don't think it's strange at all.
- You honestly think this looks okay?
- Yes.
- Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
This is completely inappropriate.
It is 2018.
- Take their picture.
- I'm sorry, I'm gonna take a photo of this.
- [John] She storms over to our actor Jason,
who's playing the manager.
- There's two children,
a young man who's their babysitter.
- Okay. - He's black.
- [Jason] Okay.
- [Female Diner] And this woman is
taking pictures of them.
Right here in the blue.
- [John] Bring her to the front,
'cause we wanna talk to her.
- [Audience] Wow, wow. (applause)
- It's crazy, man.
See, that's the part of it
it keeps making
it so hopeful.
It's really more good people--
- [John] Absolutely.
- than it is bad people. (applause)
It really is.
But,
the bad people are so jacked up.
- By the way, it's happening more often now
than ever before.
In the last two years--
- Okay now see now I wasn't goin' say that.
- The FBI has just released figures that show
in the last two years,
hate crimes are up by 17%.
- Have you ever found yourself in a real-life
What Would You Do situation?
- The other day I was at an airport, right?
I'm check-in, I'm in first class.
I got in the first class line before I
get on the plane.
Meanwhile all the first class passengers by mistake
lined up in the coach side, the economy side.
It happens, you know.
So I'm standing there, but I'm the first one.
And this lady at the front of that line,
this white woman at the front of that line,
said, "Sir, we're over here.
"The first class passengers are over here."
And I pointed to the sign.
I didn't say a word, but I pointed to the sign.
I was right, but I went back
to the back of that line the way she demanded.
And on my way back she yelled out to me,
"The announcement was made in English.
"We speak English in America,"
presuming that I didn't.
My fear was that I was gonna have to sit next to
this mean lady, (audience laughing)
but I got on the plane and no,
she was by herself by the window there,
mumbling something.
And I couldn't resist.
I leaned over, and I said,
"You know ma'am, I do a TV show
"called What Would You Do,
"and you would be perfect for the show.
(laughing) (applause)
"You could play the part of the racist."
(laughing)
(applause) - She was angry.
- That's so crazy, man.
Last summer I was leaving Montgomery, Alabama
with my good friend.
He's passed now, but we were finished playing golf
and I fell asleep in the front seat,
and he goes,
"Steve wake up, we bein' pulled over."
He was speeding.
So I sit up man, and the officer
is comin' up on the passenger side.
So I sit up and get myself together right quick.
And I put both hands on the dashboard.
She said, "Why are your hands on the dashboard?"
I said, "'Cause I want you to see 'em.
- [John] Of course.
- "I want you to see 'em.
"Because I don't wanna be an accident, not today.
"I don't feel like it." (audience laughing)
And so I have my,
and so she said, "Let me see your driver's license."
She got my buddy's driver,
I said, "My driver's license is in the back seat."
She said, "Why is it in the back seat?"
"I keep it in the backpack 'cause I'm not usually
"in any trouble."
She said, "Well get it for me."
I got it.
I handed her my driver's license.
True story.
She took the driver's license.
She walked back to the car.
She came back and said, "Oh my God, Family Feud."
- [John] Yeah. (audience laughing)
[John] - But imagine if it wasn't you?
- Thanks to my buddy John Quiñones.
