Jameela Jamil responds to spectacular Golden Globes caption mishap

They say that art imitates life, but in this case they definitely got it the wrong way round.

Yep: someone captioned Jamil with the name Kamilah Al-Jamil, which is actually the name of her Good Place character Tahani's sister (played by Rebecca Hazlewood) -- the same sister who is constantly one-upping Tahani in the show.

Whether it was a simple mistake or a fairly genius piece of meta comedy is unclear -- but either way, the caption seemed to go down a treat.
