Dick Morris' interview on Newsmax went viral after a man wearing only underwear wandered into his shot without any explanation -- but TMZ has an answer on what the deal was.
ICYMI ... the well-respected political consultant-turned-commentator was in the middle of a conversation about the Iowa Caucus on "Rob Schmitt Tonight" when the door behind him opened and a man, nearly naked from the waist down, entered.

DM didn't miss a beat, continuing his convo with the other guests, but it left fans -- and people on social media -- very confused ... questions and theories (and yes, more than a few less-than-tasteful jokes) popped up all over X in the aftermath.
In terms of who this underwear photobomber is -- Dick tells TMZ ... the man walking into the shot is actually his wife Eileen McGann's caretaker who lives with the couple.
Unfortunately, we're told Eileen had a stroke about 3 years ago and has been incapacitated ever since, and she needs the kind of care only around-the-clock help can provide ... which is where this man comes in. Dick tells us the caretaker actually lives with them full-time.
As for how this impromptu mix-up even occurred -- Dick says it was a simple mistake on his part. He says their caretaker knew Dick was doing a hit on TV and had asked him to angle the camera away from where he'd be at ... but Dick explains he forgot to do that.

Dick no perdió el ritmo y continuó su conversación con los otros invitados, pero dejó a los fans y la gente en las redes sociales muy confundidos, generando muchas preguntas y teorías al respecto (y sí, más de una broma de mal gusto) aparecieron por todo X.
En términos de quién es el misterioso hombre en ropa interior, Dick le dice a TMZ que el hombre es en realidad el cuidador de su esposa —Eileen McGann— que vive con la pareja.
Por desgracia, nos dicen que Eileen tuvo un derrame cerebral hace unos tres años y ha estado incapacitada desde entonces. Necesita atención constante... y aquí es donde este hombre entra en juego. Dick nos cuenta que el cuidador vive con ellos a tiempo completo.
En cuanto a cómo se produjo esta confusión improvisada, Dick dice que fue un simple error de su parte. Él dice que su cuidador sabía que Dick estaba apareciendo en televisión y le había pedido que el ángulo de la cámara estuviera lejos de donde él estaría, pero Dick explica que se olvidó de hacer eso.

Shevell was sportin' her new rock out in NYC this weekend ... and if the rumors are true -- that Paul spent $650k on the ring -- lady needs to get herself a bodyguard, STAT!
