All Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai needed was a bit peace on the Oscars on Sunday. However Jimmy Kimmel’s viewers shtick bought in the way in which. (Watch the video beneath.)
Throughout a lull, the host requested Yousafzai a supposed query from a fan: “Your work on human rights and training for ladies and youngsters is an inspiration. Because the youngest Nobel Prize winner in historical past, I used to be questioning: Do you assume Harry Types spit on Chris Pine?” It was a reference to a supposed incident between the “Don’t Fear Darling” co-stars on the Venice Movie Competition (which Pine denied).
“I solely speak about peace,” Yousafzai shot again.
Kimmel complimented the activist on her reply. “That’s why you’re Malala and no one else is. ... The winner is Malalaland all people.”
Moments later, an actor in a bear costume from a “Cocaine Bear” bit started to playfully paw at Yousafzai, who executive-produced the Oscar-nominated brief doc “Stranger on the Gate.”
“Cocaine bear, depart Malala alone!” Kimmel demanded.
Some viewers thought Kimmel’s routine was beneath Yousafzai.
Crowd-sourcing jokes on the Oscars will be hit-and-miss. Simply ask David Letterman, whose Uma-Oprah joke crumbled on the 1995 ceremony.
Twitter customers who thought Kimmel’s shtick was a miss went after him arduous.
