Watch reporters butcher Lupita Nyongos name

Published: April 24, 2014

Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o was revealed as People Magazine’s Most Beautiful Woman this week and naturally, this made news headlines everywhere…too bad people are still struggling to pronounce the actress’ name.

Jimmy Kimmel pointed this out on his show last night and followed that up with a compilation of reporters messing up Nyong’o's name and the range of errors is incredible hilarious and embarrassing at the same time. From almost getting it to simply dropping her last name because they didn’t want to even attempt it, these newscasters need a lesson in pronunciation.

Check out the hilarious clip below!

And just in case you’re still confused, this is how you really say “Nyong’o”:
