Watch Malala Yousafzai Deftly Shut Down Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscar Bit
It turns out anything can happen on Hollywood’s biggest night, including hearing the phrase, “Cocaine Bear, leave Malala alone!”
As if Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai hasn’t already experienced enough, the Pakistani activist found herself at the center of an awkward segment towards the end of this year’s ceremony thanks to host Jimmy Kimmel (and Cocaine Bear). And the internet is less than happy about her involvement.
After a weirdly prolonged presentation featuring a hoarse Elizabeth Banks and the titular star of her latest directorial feat Cocaine Bear, Kimmel took his hosting duties to the crowd and asked the night’s illustrious guests some “fan-submitted” questions.
