Evans had initially addressed the incident on Monday, using the added attention to steer people to the polls , which Hall commended him on.

Thats called turning a frown upside down, Tamron, Evans said. Look. It was a very interesting weekend full of lessons learned. A lot of teachable moments.

The actor went on to call his mishap embarrassing, but added, You gotta roll with the punches. He was also appreciative of the help he got from fans.
