Forget “Dateline” — maybe Keith Morrison should audition for a role on “How to Get Away With Murder.”
The NBC true crime correspondent found himself fielding questions instead of dishing them out recently when he sat down to be interviewed by “The Good Place” star Kristen Bell.
During the quirky interview in honor of “Dateline’s” 25th anniversary, Morrison managed to slip Bell a bit of advice about how she might do away with her husband, actor Dax Shepard.
Bell revealed how Shepard — described as “a bit of a jokester” — had once done a search on her phone for “How to get away with murdering my husband.”
“If he ends up dead, how much trouble do you think I’m in?” she asked about the father of her two children.
The simple answer is “a lot.”
“Well, you’re in trouble anyway for even thinking about it … If anything at all happens to him, it’s your phone, it doesn’t say who Googled it,” Morrison replied.
After which, Morrison offered Bell, “You know about antifreeze, right?”
Um, it’s a vital component to keeping your car running properly?
Watch the dastardly exchange in the video.
