Singer and designer Gwen Stefani exuded style and class at the Emmys Monday night, and not just with her Versace gown, but by her tacit admission that she has no idea what “The Colbert Report” is. Stefani botched the name of the show while presenting the award, calling it something like “The Cohlbore Repore.”
Outstanding Variety Series goes to "The Colbert Report," or as Gwen Stefani says, "The Colbor Report" #Emmys

The gaffe reminded many of John Travolta’s butchering of “Frozen” actress and singer Idina Menzel’s name at the Oscars.

If Gwen Stefani and John Travolta ever have to present an award together, they'll need an English-to-English interpreter. #Emmys
