It only took a few seconds on stage for a joke at the Oscars to turn into a full-blown celebrity reaction online. Conan O\u2019Brien made fun of Kid Rock \u2013 and the artist had a brutal response.During this year\u2019s Academy Awards, host Conan O\u2019Brien delivered many jokes. However, one might have caught many viewers off guard and one person in particular wasn\u2019t amused. That person was Kid Rock.When opening the show, O\u2019Brien poked fun at the idea of an \u201calternate\u201d awards show, joking that anyone uncomfortable with the night\u2019s tone could head down the street to watch another ceremony supposedly hosted by Kid Rock.Conan said, \u201cTonight could get political, and if that makes you uncomfortable, there\u2019s an alternate Oscars being hosted by Kid Rock. It\u2019s at the Dave & Buster\u2019s down the street.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The line was a reference to the musician\u2019s involvement in an alternative halftime-style event earlier this year, which had been promoted as a more patriotic response to the official Super Bowl entertainment. The audience laughed \u2014 but the joke didn\u2019t land the same way with the singer himself.Rock responds to Conan\u2019s Oscars jokeNot long after the broadcast, Kid Rock shared his thoughts online, making it clear he didn\u2019t think the punchline deserved the reaction it got.On X, the singer said: \u201cI love a good joke, even when I am the butt of it, unfortunately this was not a very good one.\u201dHe wrote that he can usually appreciate humor, even when he\u2019s the one being teased, but added that this particular joke just didn\u2019t work for him. Despite the criticism, the rocker didn\u2019t let the moment go to waste.Kid Rock decided to use the attention to promote his upcoming tour celebrating America\u2019s 250th anniversary, turning the viral moment into publicity for his shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
