Actress Margaret Cho showed up as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during the 2015 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, reports Us Weekly.

The actress, who is of Korean ancestry, first posed with Meryl Streep in the audience before proceeding to spoof the dictator onstage in a sketch with hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey.

The gag targeted the North Korean leader and his government, which according to the FBI was behind the Sony hack, says Hollywood Reporter. The cyber attack was purported to have been motivated by the 2014 Sony Pictures film "The Interview," which comically depicts the self-isolated country's leader and his assassination.   

"Tonight we celebrate all the great television shows that we know and love, as well as all the movies that North Korea was OK with," Fey began.

"The biggest story in Hollywood this year was when North Korea threatened an attack if Sony Pictures released 'The Interview, forcing us all to pretend we wanted to see it," she continued. "North Korea referred to 'The Interview' as 'absolutely intolerable' and 'a wanton act of terror.'" Even more amazing: that was not the worst review the movie got," she said.

Cho reappeared later in the show and carried on her Jong-un spoof.

"Cho Jong-un wanted to come up here with us," Fey said and then asked Cho how she felt about the show.

"In North Korea, we know how to put on a show," Cho said, mimicking Jong-un. "This is not a show. You no have thousand babies playing guitar at the same time, you no have people holding up cards to make one big picture, you no have Dennis Rodman," she continued.

The skits didn't win everyone's approval, which was evident on Twitter, according to Sydney Morning Herald. Some users suggested the gags made light of the North Korean government's despotic rule.

"Good show so far but the running North Korea gag needs to be quietly retired before it ruins the evening," said Daily Mail editor Piers Morgan.

"This North Korea as a joke thing... Listen, I need people to read up on what's actually happening there. Watch a documentary. Something," wrote pop culture analyst Mikki Kendall.

"The Interview," whose wide release was initially canceled by Sony, was ultimately made available via a limited theatrical run and video on demand. The film stars Seth Rogen and James Franco and was directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
