A few weeks ago, there was a minor internet blow-up over whether or not actor and comedian Sinbad had ever starred in the movie, “Shazam.” Sinbad did not star in the film, but lots of folks were convinced that he had and would not accept the fact that it was a different actor in the role of a magical genie. Snopes even debunked it.

Let’s make this genie movie interesting …. anyone who can find that movie and play the video I will pay $5000 .. challenge thrown down

Anway, Patton Oswalt used that story to make a joke Friday night, tweeting that Ben Carson met with Sinbad today when in reality it was Steve Harvey:

Wow, Reddit is going NUTS over Sinbad agreeing to work with Ben Carson…

Obviously a joke, right? Sinbad, however, was not amused and went on a tweet-storm to call out fellow comedian Oswalt:

I met Ben Carson 20 to 30 years ago and has the last time I've ever spoken to him
So is my genie character supposed to be working with him https://t.co/MXqgwUtm0S
