Yep, being caught on camera shoving bread in your mouth at an awards show is pretty hilarious — just ask this TV writer

• A "Barry" writer was shown during "White Lotus" creator Mike White's acceptance speech at the 75th Writers Guild of America Awards.
• Emily Heller said the camera crew seemed confused about whether she knew White or not.

Emily Heller, a writer and producer on the TV show "Barry," ended up on the screen during Mike White's WGA acceptance speech because the camera crew seemed confused about whether she was connected to White.

Heller, nominated for her work as a writer on the show ("I lost, it's fine," she told viewers in the March 6 TikTok), said she was seated at the same table as "White Lotus" creator White at the 75th Writers Guild of America Awards. The awards honor the best writing in film, television, and radio. ("Barry" was nominated as a comedy series and lost to "The Bear").

Heller said a member of the camera crew "posted up" at their table while White accepted the award for Outstanding Limited Series for "The White Lotus." Heller said the cameraman seemed "a little confused about whether I knew Mike."

"I don't," she clarified.

After White told the audience that he couldn't get his own family to his show "Enlightened," the camera panned to Heller as she bit into a chunk of bread. Noticing, Heller turned her raised arms into an enthusiastic wave. When the crowd burst into laughter, White looked momentarily confused, asking, "what?"

"The confused pause from Mike White combined with the bread in the mouth make this a truly perfect moment," one top TikTok comment reads.

While the WGA Awards weren't televised, Heller's TikTok of the hilarious moment has been viewed more than 211,000 times. You can also find a clip of the moment on the WGA West's YouTube page.

Commenters thanked Heller for her work on "Barry" and joked that White, who became something of an "overnight star at the age of 52" for the series, would "LOVE this" if he realized it had happened.

Neither Heller nor White immediately responded to Insider's request for comment.
