Country Music Awards 2015 co-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood poked fun of the marriage woes of former reality TV star Josh Duggar during the awards ceremony in Nashville on Nov. 4.

Josh's cousin Amy Duggar and her husband Dillon King were seen laughing their heads off as the two hosts recalled how Josh got tangled up following the hacking of the adultery website Ashley Madison.

During the opening monologue of the awards ceremony, Paisley asked Underwood, "Carrie, have you heard that duet Blake did with Ashley Madison?"

"No, no, that was Ashley Monroe," she replied.

"Have I been going to the wrong site?" Paisley then questioned. "We don't have to be lonely at farmersonly.com... Bored with your wife? And your sister, too? Your cheating side will tell on you... Josh Duggar."

Amy thought it was so hilarious that she shared on her Twitter account (@amyduggar), she writes: "Whoa!! @BradPaisley wasn't expecting THAT!!!"

She followed it with a tweet, "Laughing hysterically."

Her husband had the same thoughts, since he shared on his social media account a clip of Paisley and Underwood's spiel then captioned it, "@bradpaisley you are the man!!! #bestthingever."

However, King seemed to have second thoughts whether or not his comment was appropriate since he promptly deleted it from his account.

That night, Paisley also joked about fellow singer Blake Shelton's failed marriage with wife Miranda Lambert. Since their split, Shelton has been going out with fellow "The Voice" coach Gwen Stefani.

Paisley's joke about his friend was a bit more subtle. They were actually talking about Kermit and Miss Piggy's recent break-up when Paisley suddenly said, "And on an unrelated note, howdy, Blake!"

Shelton did not seem to mind Paisley's joke, and he even tweeted a response to Paisley after the latter commended him for being a good sport about the joke. "Ha!! Don't worry brother man," he replied. "If there's anybody on earth who's learned to take it it's me!!! Love you buddy."
