Talk shows have gifted us with some iconic pop culture moments over the years — perhaps most memorable of all are the times when the hosts themselves were called out on their own shows. Here are some of those moments, from the funny to the truly shocking...

First up and perhaps most iconic of all was when Dakota Johnson appeared on The Ellen Show and flat out told Ellen she was lying about not being invited to her birthday party.

NBC

The full interaction went like this:

Ellen: How was the party? I wasn’t invited.

Dakota: Actually, no, that’s not the truth Ellen. You were invited. Last time I was on the show, last year, you gave me a bunch of shit about not inviting you, but I didn’t know you wanted to be invited.

Ellen: Well who doesn’t want to be invited to a party?

Dakota: Well I didn’t even know you liked me.

Ellen: Of course I like you. You knew I liked you…

Dakota: But I did invite you and you didn’t come.

Ellen: This time you invited me? Are you sure?

Dakota: Yep.

Ellen: How do you know? I don’t think so.

Dakota: Ask everybody. Ask Jonathan, your producer…

Ellen: I was invited? Why didn’t I go?

Dakota: I don’t know.

Producer: You were out of town.

Ellen: Oh yeah, I had that thing…

And when Dakota Johnson appeared on The Tonight Show and called out Jimmy Fallon for interrupting her.

NBC

Their interaction went like this:

Jimmy: So you go out to walk the dog?

Dakota: Well no. I sort of—

Jimmy: It’s cool that—

Dakota: I sort of—

Jimmy: Do they allow dogs at the hotel?

Dakota: Aren’t you supposed to let people talk on this show?

When Rami Malek said Jimmy Fallon was lying about not having his contact details.

NBC

Their interaction went like this:

Jimmy: If I had your email or your phone number I would have called you a gazillion times...

Rami: You have my email and phone number.

Jimmy: That’s true, but I decided to not call you.

As part of a bit while appearing on The Tonight Show, Martin Short made a joke about how phoney Jimmy Fallon is, which took on new meaning after reports of the allegedly toxic environment behind-the-scenes on the show.

NBC

During the same appearance, Steve Martin also joked that Jimmy is not actually funny.

NBC

Their interaction went like this:

Martin: This is the greatest show on television because there is no host in late night that pretends to care the way you do.

Jimmy: Thank you so much.

Martin: I mean, no on captures phoniness the way you do. It’s a gift...

Martin, later: I think it's so brave of you, five years in, to decide suddenly to abandon the comedy format. It's shaking her up.

Steve: Actually, Marty and I learned from your show. We were backstage watching the monologue and we realized, wow, he must put the laughs in later.

When Jimmy Fallon got burned by 14-year-old Finn Wolfhard in 2016 during a game with the Stranger Things kids.

Their interaction went like this:

Jimmy: Can you read?

Finn: Can I read?

Jimmy: Yeah, can you?

Finn: Can you host?

When former host Abby Huntsman returned to The View as a guest host, and Sunny Hostin repeatedly pressed her to answer a question about whether Pete Hegseth is qualified to be the Secretary of Defense.

ABC

The full interaction went like this:

Abby: He's a smart guy, and he's a perfect Fox News host.

Sunny: Is he a perfect Secretary of Defense?

Abby: For one, I would say the memes, the cartoons and the moving memes, have got to stop. It’s really — there are people that are dying. That are losing their lives.

Sunny: Do you think he's qualified to be the Secretary of Defense?

Abby: I don’t hope for the demise of this country or the people who are in charge right now, so I pray for the best. I am very concerned because the way they are playing this game —

Sunny: But do you think he's qualified to be the Secretary of Defense?

Abby: — the way they are playing this game right now is like checkers. When the rest of the world is playing chess…

Sunny: It sounds like you don't think he's qualified to be the Secretary of Defense.

Abby: You know what, I’m very concerned…

Sunny: So are you saying that Pete Hegseth is not qualified?

Three whole minutes later, Abby finally offered an answer.

ABC

The interaction went like this:

Sunny: Pete Hegseth, respectfully who is unqualified for his job.

Abby: I'm not here defending – by the way, I don't think Pete is qualified for the job.

Sunny: Thank you!

Another time on The View, when Sunny as well as Whoopi Goldberg pushed back against guest host Savannah Chrisley after she claimed Donald Trump isn't racist.

ABC

The full interaction went like this:

Savannah: What's so hard for me to witness is people stating that the president is a racist because I’ve seen them firsthand —

Sunny: He is a racist.

Savannah: — he saved —

Sunny: He is a racist.

Savannah: — one of my best friend's lives, a Black woman who has been with him for 18 years.

Sunny: So he has a Blac
