TBS host Casey Stern clarifies racially insensitive 'Oreo' joke
Twitter / The Big Inning
Casey Stern came under fire Wednesday for making a racially insensitive joke during a Major League Baseball pregame show on TBS.
Stern said he had "become the cream in the middle of the Oreo cookie" as he sat between a broadcast crew of Pedro Martinez, Gary Sheffield, Jimmy Rollins, and Ryan Howard.
After receiving backlash for the blunder, Stern took to Twitter to explain there was no harm intended.
This isn't the first time Stern has gotten himself into trouble while on-air. He issued an apology in October 2015 for using profane language while sending a postgame broadcast to commercial.
