Finally, the duo addressed Ingraham about whether or not Wednesday’s segment was a little too long. Arroyo stated the following to Ingraham: “People are asking was it real or was it scripted, Laura.”
“What do you think?”Ingraham replied
“I think people are craving something authentic and real, and they got a bit of that,”Arroyo.
She replied: “You know what I think, Raymond? I think there are a lot of liberals out there who don’t like conservatives having fun. That’s what I think! You know what else I think? I think they haven’t gotten a laugh in like 30 years and a thing that we practiced for, what, like 30 seconds? We got like 20 million views on YouTube. Ok?”
If you haven’t seen the clip, Arroyo is describing the Netflix show’s scene involving a case of measles appears to leave Ingraham utterly confused.
Arroyo stated, “I was watching an episode of You where measles came up–”
“Wait, when did I mention measles?”Ingraham was interrupted.
“I don’t know,”Arroyo responded. “It was You.”
For the rest of the one-minute clip, Ingraham appears to misunderstand the show’s title to Arroyo addressing her.
The absurd dialogue spread like wildfire online, with many unconvinced it wasn’t planned.
“It’s gotta be a bit. Dude is committed, he actually made me lol, but watch how he waits for her to cut him off,”Badgley tweets
