“Hilariously, the British Board of Film Classification has issued a trigger warning on Wicked because of potential discrimination against green-skinned women and persecution of talking animals,” Morgan read to his television panel of guests. “The warning issued on their website states that a green-skinned woman is mocked, bullied, and humiliated because of her skin color.”

“A green-skinned woman!” Morgan shouted in outrage as he turned to his guests. “There is no such thing as a green-skinned woman in the real world! Even Ernest [Owens] knows there are no green-skinned women.”

“No, I agree,” his guest Ernest Owens responded. “There’s no green-skilled women.”

“Thank you!” Morgan responded, repeating, “Just for clarification, there are no green-skinned women in the world.”

British journalist Esther Krakue told Morgan that she thought the film board had “to be doing this as a P.R. stunt” to get attention.

Fox News Channel’s The Five also mocked the movie’s criticism on Monday.

“It’s hard to believe that the U.K. used to rule the world. What has happened?” co-host Dana Perino scoffed.

Wicked became the highest-grossing movie based on a Broadway musical, making $263 million.

Ariana Grande, playing Glinda, and her co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the movie, have been on a film promotion tour that has inspired numerous viral videos of peculiar moments.

Grande and Erivo recently talked about the sexuality of their characters and speculated that they are “maybe a little in the closet.”

During another interview, the co-stars grew emotional about a scene in the movie, and Grande grabbed Erivo’s long green fingernail and held onto it, which turned into a viral moment.
