In a hilarious mix-up that we can all relate to, Joy Behar from ‘The View’ mistakenly congratulated the wrong Jimmy for hosting the Oscars due to a technical misunderstanding. During a segment on the show, Behar confessed her blunder and had the audience in stitches with her relatable mistake.
The confusion arose when Behar watched the Oscars on Sunday, March 10th, and particularly enjoyed a joke made by host Jimmy Kimmel about President Trump. Impressed by Kimmel’s comedic timing and witty jab, Behar decided to reach out and congratulate him via email. However, instead of sending the message to Jimmy Kimmel, she accidentally sent it to Jimmy Fallon, who has never hosted the Oscars.
The panel on ‘The View’ erupted into laughter as Behar admitted her error. When asked if Fallon had replied to her message, Behar confirmed that she never received a response. The comedic timing of the situation was not lost on her co-hosts, with Sara Haines jokingly remarking, “You’re dead to him now.” Behar humorously added, “I mean, I’m so technologically stupid. It’s a wonder I didn’t send it to Jimmy Carter!”
Despite her blunder, Behar’s View colleagues came to her defense. Haines insisted that the mistake was not due to technology but rather a common occurrence that happens to everyone. Whoopi Goldberg supported this sentiment and shared that sending an email to the wrong person is something that happens to everyone at some point. However, when Behar asked Goldberg if she had ever made the same mistake, Goldberg remained silent but smiled, suggesting that she might be the exception at the table.
While Behar may have had a moment of embarrassment, her co-hosts reminded her that this kind of mix-up happens to the best of us. It’s a reminder that even celebrities can make relatable mistakes. We can’t fault Behar for her blunder, as we all know how easy it is to click the wrong name when sending an email.
