Contestants giving incorrect answers will always score big with audiences at home.

On BBC's Celebrity Mastermind, British actor Amanda Henderson was asked to name the young Swedish climate change activist, Greta Thunberg.


But she did not have the slightest clue about who the 16-year-old environmental activist was.

But instead of taking a hard pass, Henderson took a stab by guessing her name.

Host John Humphrys asked the actress – who plays Robyn Miller on BBC's medical drama, Casualty:

"The 2019 book entitled No-one is Too Small To Make A Difference is a collection of speeches made by a Swedish climate change activist."
"What's her name?"

Home viewers hopefully shouted, "Greta Thunberg!," at their TV screens.

But they did not see this coming.

Henderson replied:

"Sharon."

Giphy

Comedian Mark Smith tweeted a clip of Henderon's hilarious response and declared that 2020 was over before it began.

We don't know who "Sharon" is, but Greta Thunberg set the world on fire in September at the UN climate change summit where she denounced global leaders for neglecting to reduce carbon emissions.

TIME Magazine was impressed with her activism and honored her as 2019 Person of the Year.

After watching her shaming the leaders and accusing them of being more concerned about money than saving our planet, everybody knew her name.

Or so we thought.


The clip of Henderson renaming Thunberg went viral and "Sharon" became the hottest meme.






Henderson may have lost big time.

But she did win over new viewers for her long-running medical drama.

The clip set a high standard for 2020, and we can hardly wait to see what other viral memes the year will have in store for us.

And if you are ever at a loss for words, there is always Sharon.

Sometimes though, it best just to say "I Don't Know." This shirt is available here.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
