There were no hard feelings between Idina Menzel and John Travolta last night at the Academy Awards when the singer playfully got her revenge on John by introducing him as "Glom Gazingo" — a reference to his "Adele Dazeem" flub last year. After the award show, John stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to talk about his infamous mistake, revealing he'd received a phonetic spelling of Idina's name. He also talked about who he ran into backstage that totally made him forget his lines, and it's actually quite cute. Watch John explain his side of the story above.
