Jeremy Piven Refers to Benedict Cumberbatch as Benedict Cumberslut - VIDEO

While on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jeremy Piven told an amusing anecdote about that time he was upstaged by Benedict Cumberbatch. Who is apparently a total Benedict Cumberbitch.

As Piven explained, he was promoting his show Mr. Selfridge alongside Sherlock himself at a critics Q&A but the announcer only remembered to say that Sherlock would be answering questions, forgetting that Piven was on stage at all.

At which point everyone swarmed Benedict Cumberbatch and Piven was left standing alone.

"I'm standing there alone on the stage while hundreds of people make their way to Benedict Cumber[expletive deleted]!" Piven joked, getting bleeped by censors as he continued to talk about "Benedict Cumberslut."

He went on to do some damage control, explaining, "By the way, he is a brilliant actor and a true gentleman and Sherlock is genius and I'm a huge fan and he'll never speak to me again!"

No worries Jeremy Piven, he's been shaded by Meryl Streep, he can handle it.
