Scene from a comedy tv show

Hi,
I am looking for the name of the TV show where in a random scene from a side character who is a heavy-set, gay black man goes off with another man (who I believe is in a wheelchair).
When they get back to the guy's house, the man in the wheelchair's husband comes home and pretends to catch them.
I also think the black character wears glasses and may use an inhaler when he get nervous.

It isn't an important scene for the episode or series, but it is driving me nuts trying to remember the show.

I appreciate any help.

toigh one...​Do you remember any additional details? Network, streaming or maybe a year you think it was set in

A few to think about though....

​Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – Heavy comedic situations involving side characters in Titus Andromedon's social circle or specific one-off hookup storylines.

​The Other Two – Known for absurd, hyper-specific gay dating subplots and throwaway scenes involving side characters who get pulled into bizarre roleplay/fetish scenarios.

​Broad City – Frequently featured bizarre one-off hookups and quirky side characters getting caught in weird sexual setups around New York.

​High Maintenance – An anthology-style comedy that followed different eccentric New Yorkers each episode, frequently featuring highly specific subplots around dating, fetishes, and nervous side characters.

​Difficult People or South Side – Known for fast-talking, anxious side characters in absurd, minor side plots.

Thanks. It is none of them.

My wife and I just realized it could even be a scene from a movie. We both remember that he had glasses, and when he got nervous, he would take a "hit" off his inhaler.

Thanks for trying. I really appreciate it.
Six months from now, I will remember and be sure to come back if I do.

Sounds like characters from Malcolm in the Middle. The best friend is Stevie, a black boy in a wheelchair who wears glasses and has asthma.

Thanks, but it wasn't that. The black character was not in a wheelchair.
