The mother and son also joined ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday morning.

“She was going out to run errands. She noticed our TV-marked car and saw a couple and said ‘This might be my son, let’s go ahead and take a look and see,’ and then next thing you know, the video kind of tells the rest,” Harris told the hosts of Good Morning America.

Harris is a 2015 mass communication graduate, where he began his broadcasting journey. A sports broadcaster at WWSU 106.9 FM, Harris used the station to build his personality through the airwaves.
