Everyone watching the Oscars Sunday night suffered extreme secondhand embarrassment after La La Land was mistakenly named Best Picture, all thanks to a starstruck accountant with Twitter fingers. It’s no surprise that the moment became the butt of Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes the next day on his late-night comedy show — and his peers couldn’t resist picking up on it, either.

Here are some of your favorite hosts’ funniest jabs at the Oscars’ major mess-up:
