Former Las Vegas resident Jimmy Kimmel even weighed in on the flub. He called McDonald the "Just for Men customer-delegate representing Nevada" and reminded him that the capital is Carson City.

.@JimmyKimmel spent time in NV as a kid. He knows the state capital. Once went to a wedding here where he was best man. He was hilarious.

Even with the wrong capital named during the roll call, Donald Trump got enough delegates in Cleveland to make him the Republican nominee for president.
