Viewers were quick to share memes of the situation, joking that Rodgers was ‘literally everyone at home’.
Others were outraged by the reaction, with one posting, ‘Nile did not stand for Cheryl! Did he not get the memo? Judges must stand for all guests even if they’ve never heard of them. If they don’t, it’s downright rude.’
