On 17 December 2014, actress Leah Remini appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show for DeGeneres' tenth of twelve Christmas-themed episodes. In the course of the show, the pair engaged in a prank call segment, with Remini suggesting that she call her husband Angelo Pagan, whom she stated was on a business trip, for an unspecified prank to which Pagan was not a party. However, when a woman answered the number dialed, Remini appeared to be surprised and seemingly became angry after she identified herself to the individual as Pagan's wife. On the other end of the line, the woman who answered replied, You're married? The segment quickly cut away, leading many viewers to believe that the prank was cut short by Remini's discovery of her husband's infidelity: https://youtu.be/P7IUIyCMrcUNot every Ellen viewer uses Twitter, so they may have missed Remini's tweet later that day addressing the segment and its veracity: Despite the clarification issued by Remini, viewers who did not catch the tweet remained confused about whether the segment was real and whether the star suffered a heartbreaking discovery on television. However, it's worth noting the show is not usually aired live: Had such a mishap occurred on camera outside the course of a planned prank, most likely the moment would have been left on the cutting floor rather than aired in what was otherwise a very upbeat episode.
