Kid Rock was not a fan of Conan O’Brien Oscars joke targeting Turning Point USA‘s Super Bowl Halftime Show, where the musician served as the headlining act. During his opening monologue while hosting the 2026 Oscars, O’Brien quipped: “Tonight could get political, and if that makes you uncomfortable, there’s an alternate Oscars being hosted by Kid Rock. It’s at the Dave & Buster’s down the street.”

“I love a good joke, even when I am the butt of it, unfortunately this was not a very good one,” Kid Rock posted on X in reaction to O’Brien’s Turning Point USA jab. The musician added that “if you want to see a REAL good show this spring / summer that celebrates America and 250 years of Freedom” then you can attend his tour.
