Greenspan](https://time.com/author/rachel-e-greenspan/) ## Rachel E. Greenspan Jan 7, 2019 4:30 PM UTC When a chyron has an error, people usually cringe. It went down a little differently, though, when Jameela Jamil’s name was spelled wrong on E! News during the red carpet show before the [76th annual Golden Globes](http://time.com/5494359/2019-golden-globes-recap/). In place of _The Good Place_ star’s name, the network referenced a plot point from the show—that Jamil’s character, Tahani, is always outshined by her sister, Kamilah Al-Jamil. > [](https://twitter.com/McKennaFerg/status/1082067427926528000) Twitter users watching the 2019 Golden Globes quickly noticed the “mistake” and were thrilled at the hilarious choice. Based on [the network’s reaction](https://twitter.com/enews/status/1082112204890087424), it’s safe to say this was not a typo. Jamil herself was more than a good sport about the misnaming at the Globes. “This is legit the funniest thing I have ever seen,” the actress [tweeted](https://twitter.com/jameelajamil/status/1082103705799815168). “Tahani would DIE!” > [](https://twitter.com/jameelajamil/status/1082102484355604480) Clearly, Jamil knows how to enjoy her life. She even posted a video on Twitter before her appearance on the red carpet to reveal she was wearing jeans underneath her Monique Lhuillier gown because it was “forking cold.” Los Angeles is experiencing a cold spell, after all. > [](https://twitter.com/jameelajamil/status/1082035899523723264) Whether E! knew what it was doing or not, the situation made some _The Good Place_ fans a little happier, even though [the show lost in both of its nominations](http://time.com/5494459/golden-globes-winners-2019/). > [](https://twitter.com/ANlSTON%5F/status/1082062203308646405) > [](https://twitter.com/owedbetter%5F/status/1082104913662902272) > [](https://twitter.com/Gi%5FLoveridge/status/1082063654563049480) > [](https://twitter.com/spidermanffh/status/1082063711668523010) > [](https://twitter.com/PadmaLakshmi/status/1082110541475270657) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5495684/jameela-jamil-golden-globes-2019/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5495684/jameela-jamil-golden-globes-2019/"},"headline":"This Was the Happiest Mistake to Happen at the Golden Globes Red Carpet","datePublished":"2019-01-07T16:30:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:44.641Z","description":"Jamil herself was more than a good sport about the incident","url":"https://time.com/5495684/jameela-jamil-golden-globes-2019/","keywords":["Newsfeed","awards","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt34c1f2e0f7f13d2a/698942c8fb4eacda29898953/jameela-jamil-golden-globes-2019.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel E.
