Red Asks Huey Lewis to Play a Funeral at the DMV in The Blacklist Clip

This clip from this Friday's episode of The Blacklist is an odd one. Notorious master criminal Red Reddington (James Spader) has reached a point in his life where he has to awkwardly plead with Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis & The News to perform at the memorial service of the general manager at the Department of Motor Vehicles, where the ceremony is taking place.

As you might imagine, Huey Lewis finds this absolutely befuddling.

The Blacklist airs Fridays at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.
