On Tuesday night prior to President Trump’s address to a Joint Session of Congress, MSNBC anchors Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow joked that the impending visual of Trump being announced in the House chamber as President would be a mistake like the Best Picture flub at the Oscars. 

“Somebody’s going to yell “Mr. Speaker” and it’s always on your mind and I realize — and I think a lot of us still wish what I thought that we got the wrong envelope the last three months, you know? That there was a mistake made,” Matthews remarked to Maddow.
