VIDEO: John Travolta Explains the 'Flub Heard Round the World' on KIMMEL

John Travolta appeared on last night's JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE post-Oscar broadcast and finally revealed THE STORY BEHIND why he mispronounced Idina Menzel at the Oscars last year. The actor explained that he had initially been distracted by meeting Goldie Hawn backstage, and then, just prior to going out on stage to introduce Menzel, he was told "We've changed Idina's name to a phonetic spelling," which was not the way he had rehearsed.

Check out the appearance below as well as other video from last night's special broadcast including a special Oscar night edition of #LieWitnessNews and The Kimmel School of Perfect Acting featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, Lupita Nyong'o, Harvey Weinstein, Mila Kunis, Eddie Redmayne, Jeff Bridges, Kristen Bell, Susan Sarandon, Jennifer Aniston and Gary Oldman.
