Jimmy Kimmel, the American late-night show host and comedian who hosted the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday, made tons of jokes and some of them didn't go well with the audience.
It seems Kimmel offended Pakistani Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai by asking a rather irrelevant question.
The 25-year-old Pakistani education activist attended the most celebrated award show of Hollywood as her 29-minute-long film, Stranger At The Gate, was nominated in the Best Documentary Short Film category.
Dressed in a custom Ralph Lauren, the youngest ever UN Messenger of Peace stunned the audience in a silver sequined dress but stole the show with her answer to Kimmel's mind-boggling question.
The 55-year-old host asked Yousafzai, "As the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, I was wondering, do you think Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine?”
Yousafzai's witty response “I only talk about peace” garnered more applause than Kimmel's cringe-inducing question.
To end the short conversation on a good note and to avoid any further embarrassment for either of them, Kimmel told Malala that this is why she is Malala and nobody else is.

As Yousafzai was confused about the question, social media users also wondered why would Kimmel be asking her something odd.
What a stupid thing to ask. Grow up.

What was the point of asking this?? The rumor with Harry and Chris happened months ago and you’re still bringing it up?? Such a pointless thing to ask her.
