At the Australian Logies Awards in 1979, Bert Newton introduced Muhammad Ali. While joking around with the boxer, Bert said, "I like the boy" which Muhammad took to be a racial slur. Bert managed to joke his way out of the gaffe. Later, Muhammad was the one to announce Bert had won the Gold Logie.

Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Bert (on making the Top 50 most memorable moments on Australian television for calling Muhammad Ali 'the boy'): In the many retellings of this story, it's forgotten that at the time I was doing a series of live KFC commercials as Colonel Sanders and one of the catchphrases was 'I like the boy!' I hope it's not the only moment for which I'm remembered, but it was a great moment for all concerned. Live television - the only way to go!
