The Oscars have rolled around, bringing with them an evening of film glory, dubious fashion sense, and at least one thespian faking they're completely not devastated over losing. The ceremony this year guarantees Hollywood's A-list, some cringe-worthy teleprompter errors, and, naturally, a host who's just crazy enough to make it entertaining - introducing Conan O'Brien.

The evening started with a showstopping performance by Ariana Grande that filled the Dolby Theatre with absolute vocal perfection. And just when the crowd was thinking they were in for a refined evening, things got out of hand.

In a moment that no one could have anticipated (or perhaps everyone should have), Conan O'Brien makes his dramatic entrance by popping out of Demi Moore's back - because why begin a high-brow awards show any other way?

Hollywood gasps, Twitter goes into meltdown, and somewhere, David Copperfield cries a proud tear. If this is how the evening starts, there's no telling what's in store next. The Hollywood star-studded pandemonium comes to life on March 2 at 7 p.m. ET from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. As soon as the video went viral, someone took to his X account and commented:

"Funniest dude ever man"

One commenter was straightforward, stating Conan was the funniest man alive with the same level of certainty one might have when one first finds out about comedy. No context, no explanation - just pure admiration, as if Conan had come down from heaven solely to make people laugh.

Perhaps it was the entrance, perhaps it was his face, but in either case, the internet had decided: this man was comedy incarnate. And like that, the internet went wild. Conan O'Brien's big entrance made people laugh, cry, and question reality all simultaneously. Was this the Oscars or some giant joke?

Did Demi Moore have any idea this was about to go down? Was this Hollywood's attempt to remind us that 'anything' can happen on live television? One thing was for certain - the responses came rolling in quickly, unchecked, and downright hilarious.


Netizens have reacted as Conan O’Brien emerges from Demi Moore’s back to host Oscars 2025

People made jokes about how Conan must have been hiding inside Demi Moore all this time, biding his time.

Others chimed in by saying that the Oscars have now officially moved into their magician era - in one year, they'll next vanish before awarding Best Picture with a chance to give acceptance. Above all, the comment section was all lit:

"he's doing good so far," a user commented.
"Conan is the best hahahah," another user hilariously commented.
"Ngl, clever intro," a netizen expressed.

Some referred to it as the best Oscars entrance ever, remarking that Conan should receive his own award for that alone. Others joked Demi Moore had been hiding Hollywood's best-kept secret for years - literally:

"Funniest dude ever man," a folk commented.
"We haven't had Awards show sketches like this in ages," according to a user.
"Conan’s actually funny," a netizen wrote.

Then there's the peanut gallery who just comments to hear the sound of their commenting:

"scary," a user commented.
"Crazy," another netizen wrote.

And that was that: Conan O'Brien didn't just host the Oscars - Conan took over the Oscars in the most gloriously illogical fashion conceivable. If the fans were cackling hysterically, protesting the physics at play, or merely wide-eyed with appreciation at Demi Moore's bulletproof calmness, one could tell: tonight, this was an Oscars moment of legend.

Hollywood might pay tribute to cinematic illusion, but for tonight's actual magic trick, it was Conan himself - not conjured suddenly but seemingly plucked from out of thin air - to pilfer the evening.
