 In the latest burst of daytime TV absurdity, the hosts of The Scoop — a talk show famous for mixing celebrity gossip with chaos — left viewers cackling (and some scratching their heads) after unveiling what they called a “totally foolproof plan to confuse ICE agents.”

During a heated discussion about the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny, host Wanda Goldwin leaned in with mock seriousness.

“Here’s what we do,” she said. “We all lather up with cocoa butter, sit in the sun for two days, and roll into the stadium speaking Spanish accents so thick, ICE won’t know who’s who!”

The studio audience roared with laughter, while co-host Joyce Benner declared, “I love it. I might actually try it — anything for good seats and chaos!”

Social Media Explodes

Clips from the segment immediately went viral. Within hours, hashtags like #CocoaButterCaper and #OperationBadBunny were trending on X (formerly Twitter).

Some fans recognized the obvious humor. “This is why I never change the channel — pure comedy gold,” one viewer wrote. Others weren’t so sure. “Is this satire or did they actually lose their minds?” another posted.

Producers Respond

Producers for The Scoop later confirmed the exchange was meant as satire.

“It was clearly a joke segment poking fun at over-the-top celebrity activism,” a spokesperson said. “The hosts were improvising — nobody is smuggling cocoa butter to the Super Bowl.”

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny Responds… Sort Of

When asked about the viral moment, a rep for Bad Bunny simply laughed:

“We appreciate the enthusiasm, but everyone should just enjoy the show and maybe leave the disguises at home.”
