Co-anchor of PBS Newshour, Gwen Ifill took to Twitter today to share her favorite mishap as she was mistaken for Gwen Stefani.

Ifill said that her favorite Twitter thing of the day was being confused with Stefani. The argument can be made that having the same first name makes them relatable but the last names are completely different.

The hilarious replies to her tweets began rolling in as Steven McPherson tweeted, "@gwenifill @gwenstefani I assume you are also no hollaback girl." Others read, "@gwenifill @gwenstefani Harajuku Ifill is the public's favorite Ifill," "@gwenifill @gwenstefani well, there's No Doubt that the @Newshour continues to be a sweet escape from shoutfests elsewhere on TV." and "@gwenifill @gwenstefani Ms.

Ifill, I'm sure you have abs as impressive as hers. An understandable mistake."

Fans of both prominent names have been quite creative in response to the mix-up.

Stefani doesn't seem to be concerned as her last serious of tweets revolve around The Voice. Stranger things may happen on Twitter but the two would sure have a laugh at this.
