Penrod, known for his powerful presence, had already set off a series of events that would go down as one of the most chaotic moments in television history.
The studio went silent for a split second, before the tension in the air escalated. What seemed like a harmless bit of playful teasing quickly took on a life of its own, spiraling into an unforgettable spectacle. Goldberg’s reaction, caught on live TV, immediately became a viral moment. The other hosts, caught off guard, attempted to regain control of the situation, but it was clear that Penrod’s commanding presence had taken over.
