Kid Rock has responded to a crack Conan O’Brien made about him during the 2026 Oscars — and it’s clear that he has zero shame.
During the Academy Awards’ opening monologue, O’Brien quipped:
“I should warn you, tonight could get political, and if that makes you uncomfortable, there’s an alternate Oscars being hosted by Kid Rock,” O’Brien said. “It’s at the Dave & Buster’s down the street.”
The host added that there were a “lot of tickets” still available.
O’Brien’s jab was meant to poke fun at Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show,” which was headlined by Kid Rock and featured some pretty lackluster performances. The MAGA-friendly alternative halftime show acted as a protest against Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny’s official Super Bowl Halftime Show.
