Kid Rock hits back at Conan O’Brien Oscars joke: ‘Not a very good one’

Kid Rock Conan OBrien Bad Bunny
  • Conan O’Brien made a joke at Kid Rock’s expense during his opening monologue at the Oscars, referencing an alternative Super Bowl halftime show.
  • Kid Rock responded on social media, stating the joke was “not a very good one” and used the platform to promote his upcoming Freedom 250 tour.
  • O'Brien's joke alluded to Rock's “All-American Halftime Show,” organised by Turning Point USA as an alternative to the NFL's official Super Bowl halftime event.
  • The alternative show was arranged in protest of Bad Bunny headlining the official Super Bowl, with Rock stating it was for conservative Americans who felt underserved by mainstream entertainment.
  • Rock's performance at the alternative show was mocked online and drew a peak of 6.1 million viewers, significantly fewer than Bad Bunny's 4.157 billion total views.
