Would it surprise anyone to learn that Bill O'Reilly would get grumpy about a live Jesus Christ Superstar performance? Or that Chrissy Teigen is good at Twitter?

On Sunday, during NBC's live broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar, the 1970 concept album-turned-Broadway musical, former Fox News conservative pundit O'Reilly made his distaste known on Twitter.

Chrissy Teigen, Queen of Internet Clapbacks, whose husband John Legend was playing the titular Jesus Christ, had something to say about O'Reilly's comment.

For context, O'Reilly left Fox News last year, due to sexual harassment allegations surrounding him, and reportedly paid $32 million in settlement money.

Thank goodness we have Chrissy Teigen to come to John Legend's defense and put haters in their place.
