Well, I think it was an excellent piece of witch-burning. The timing, the build-up of expectation and the dynamic reversal were well done. Kudos for the way the host caught on to how fear of things being in public was her prime emotional driver ... he made a special point to get her full assent and confirmation as to that before applying the 'sting in the tail'.
And that bit at the end, where the host double-checked that the guy was OK before terminating that section of the show. More Kudos ... that painted a solid layer of .. of Dignity over the proceedings. It was a ritual of concern, or retribution, and redemption. Not for her, or the child, but for the narrowest possible application of principle.
But before this self-consciously 'observant hindsight', I hung on to every word. SHE was sooooo WRONG and He was sooooo RIGHT. And 'Gotcha!' and Monkey Poop! etc etc. I went into damned crowd mentality, and she'd've been charred to a cinder before I found an ounce of "WTF" or "Woah - hang on there!"
Oops
