THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.

THANKS FOR COMING.

THANKS FOR... I DON'T KNOW...

THANKS FOR... HA, HA, HA!

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS,
BUT I HOSTED THE OSCARS LAST NIGHT.

I'LL ADMIT I WAS FISHING.

WHAT A WEIRD THING THOUGH.

HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER HOSTED
THE OSCARS BEFORE?

WELL, LET ME TELL YOU
ABOUT IT.

EXCEPT FOR THE END,
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

IT WAS...
IT WENT VERY WELL.

WE WERE CHUGGING ALONG.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
OUT OF NOWHERE,

IT TURNED INTO ONE OF THOSE
MAURY POVICH PATERNITY TEST SHOWS.

IT WAS THE WEIRDEST
TV FINALE SINCE "LOST."

AS I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD, "LA LA LAND"
WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY SOMEHOW

THE BIGGEST WINNER
AND LOSER LAST NIGHT.

YOU KNOW
IT'S A STRANGE NIGHT

WHEN THE WORD "ENVELOPE"
IS TRENDING ON TWITTER.

IT'S... IN CASE YOU MISSED IT,
WARN BEATTY AND FAYE DUNAWAY,

IT WAS THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF
"BONNIE AND CLYDE,"

THEY PLAYED BONNIE
AND CLYDE,

SO THE ACADEMY ASKED THEM
TO PRESENT BEST PICTURE,

IT'S BIGGEST AWARD OF THE NIGHT,
THE LAST ONE THEY GIVE OUT.

SO WARREN AND FAYE COME OUT
WITH THE ENVELOPE.

AND, WELL, HERE'S WHERE
THE STORY STARTS.

AND THE ACADEMY AWARD...

- FOR BEST PICTURE -

YOU'RE AWFUL.

COME ON.

"LA LA LAND."

Jimmy: SO, IN RETROSPECT NOW WHAT
WE KNOW IS WARREN WAS CONFUSED

SO HE HANDED IT TO FAYE
AND LET HER READ IT.

IN OTHER WORDS,
CLYDE THREW BONNIE UNDER THE BUS.

SLICK MOVE.
VERY SLICK MOVE.

SO FAYE DUNAWAY ANNOUNCES
"LA LA LAND" AS BEST PICTURE,

IT WAS THE FAVORITE TO WIN,
"LA LA LAND" PRODUCERS GOT ON STAGE,

WHICH MADE SENSE.
A FEW OF THEM GAVE SPEECHES.

AND I'M NOW SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE
WATCHING THESE SPEECHES.

THE PLAN IS FOR ME TO END THE SHOW FROM
THE AUDIENCE IN A SEAT NEXT TO MATT DAMON,

WHO I WANT YOU
TO MAKE NO MISTAKE,

WHATEVER CONFUSION ABOUT
WHO WON, MATT DAMON LOST.

HE WAS A LOSER.

HE IS A LOSER.
BUT WE'RE SITTING THERE.

AND WE NOTICE SOME
COMMOTION GOING ON.

AND MATT SAYS, I THINK I HEARD THE STAGE
MANAGER SAY THEY GOT THE WINNER WRONG.

THE STAGE MANAGER'S
ON THE STAGE

THE STAGE MANAGER'S NEVER
ON CAMERA, IT'S VERY UNUSUAL.

WE'RE SITTING THERE.

YOU FIGURE, WELL,
YOU KNOW.

THE HOST WILL GO ON STAGE
AND CLEAR THIS UP.

THEN I REMEMBER,
OH, I'M THE HOST.

SO I GO, ALL RIGHT.

WELL, I JUST WALK UP
THE STAIRS.

AND AS SOON AS
I GET UP THERE,

THIS HAPPENS.

GUYS, GUYS, I'M SORRY,
NO. THERE'S A MISTAKE.

"MOONLIGHT,"
YOU GUYS WON BEST PICTURE.

"MOONLIGHT" WON.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE, I'M AFRAID
THEY READ THE WRONG THING.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

"MOONLIGHT"
HAS WON BEST PICTURE.

"MOONLIGHT,"
BEST PICTURE.

Jimmy: KIND OF SCARY IN A WAY,
THAT WAS THE PRODUCER OF "LA LA LAND"

WHO THOUGHT HE WON,

HE'S STANDING THERE HOLDING AN OSCAR
THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE AWAY FROM HIM.

MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS
TO TELL HIM TO RUN.

JUST TAKE THE OSCAR
AND GET OUT. BUT HE DIDN'T.

SO NOW THERE'S
MASS CONFUSION.

THE AUDIENCE
IS CONFUSED.

THE PEOPLE STANDING
AROUND ME ARE CONFUSED.

I ASSUME EVERYONE
AT HOME IS CONFUSED.

AND I'M PROBABLY
SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING.

BECAUSE NO ONE'S
DOING ANYTHING.

AND THEN WARREN BEATTY
STEPS UP TO EXPLAIN.

HELLO.

I WANT...

WARREN, WHAT DID YOU DO?

I WANT TO TELL YOU
WHAT HAPPENED.

I OPENED THE ENVELOPE.

AND IT SAID,
"EMMA STONE, LA LA LAND."

THAT'S WHY I TOOK SUCH
A LONG LOOK AT FAYE.

AND AT YOU.

I WASN'T TRYING TO BE FUNNY.

Jimmy: WELL, YOU WERE FUNNY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Jimmy: WOW.

THIS IS "MOONLIGHT,"
THE BEST PICTURE.

Jimmy: YEAH, WELL, THERE YOU GO.

SO "MOONLIGHT" WAS THE BEST PICTURE.

NOW SO WE HAVE THE PRODUCERS
OF TWO MOVIES ON STAGE.

WHO THE HELL EVEN KNOWS
WHO IS WHO FROM WHICH MOVIE?

AND I'M STANDING THERE LIKE AN IDIOT,
FEELING BAD FOR THESE GUYS,

BUT ALSO TRYING REALLY HARD
NOT TO LAUGH TO BE HONEST.

AND I SEE, NOW I SEE
DENZEL WASHINGTON

IN THE FRONT ROW
TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION.

HE'S GESTURING,
HE'S POINTING.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S POINTING.

BUT HE YELLS "BARRY!"

WHAT?

BARRY!

FIGURE OUT BURIY BERRY JENKINS,
DIRECTOR OF "MOONLIGHT,"

IS STANDING BEHIND ME,

DENZEL WANTS HIM AT THE MICROPHONE
TO MAKE A SPEECH, WHICH MAKES SENSE.

THANK GOD DENZEL
WAS THERE TO MAKE SENSE.

SO...

I'M LISTENING TO DENZEL,
AS I SHOULD.

I GOT BARRY, HE SPOKE,
NOT FOR VERY LONG.

ANOTHER QUICK SPEECH.

THEN EVERYONE JUST STOOD THERE
AGAIN, SHELL SHOCKED.

AND I ENDED THE SHOW.

AS I WALKED OFFSTAGE PEOPLE
STARTED SPECULATING SAYING, OH,

DID YOU PULL A PRANK?

I WAS LIKE, HEY, NO, I DIDN'T!

I DID NOT PULL A PRANK!

IF I'D PULLED A PRANK,

I WOULDN'T HAVE JUST HAD THE WRONG
WINNER'S NAME ON THE ENVELOPE,

THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BED, BATH
AND BEYOND COUPON IN THERE.

IT WAS NOT A PRANK.

THE PRODUCERS OF "LA LA LAND"
WERE VERY GRACIOUS,

WHICH THEY DID NOT HAVE TO BE,
ONSTAGE AND OFF, THEY WERE VERY NICE.

THEY HANDLED IT WELL.

IT WAS A VERY AMICABLE
CUSTODY ARRANGEMENT.

THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR
VISITATION OR ANYTHING.

SO AFTER THE SHOW,

I WENT BACK IN THE GREEN ROOM
TO TALK TO WARREN BEATTY.

STILL NOBODY KNOWS
WHAT HAPPENED.

AND HE SHOWED ME
THE EVIDENCE.

YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU DO A SHOW,

YOU AREN'T JUST THE HOST,
YOU'RE THE LEAD DETECTIVE.

YOU'RE LIKE THE SHERIFF
OF THE SHOW.

WARREN BEATTY COULD BE
IN PRISON IF I WANTED HIM.

THE CARD HE HAD SAID "LA LA LAND."

WHICH IS WEIRD. BECAUSE EMMA STONE,
WHO WON BEST ACTRESS

FOR "LA LA LAND," WAS IN THE PRESS
ROOM DOING INTERVIEWS SAYING THIS.

I WAS HOLDING MY BEST ACTRESS
IN A LEADING ROLE CARD THAT ENTIRE TIME.

SO WHATEVER STORY
- I DON'T MEAN TO START STUFF.

BUT WHATEVER STORY THAT WAS,
I HAD THAT CARD.

SO SHE SAID SHE HAD THE CARD.

BUT I WAS WITH WARREN
AND HE HAD THE CARD.

TURNS OUT THEY BOTH HAD THE CARD.
FOR WHATEVER REASON.

THEY HAVE TWO OF EACH CARD
IN EACH ENVELOPE.

THERE'S A REGULAR
ENVELOPE AND A BACKUP.

JUST TO MAKE IT
MORE CONFUSING.

SO THE ACCOUNTANTS GAVE
WARREN THE WRONG CARD.

AND THEY APOLOGIZED FOR IT TODAY.

SO IT WASN'T WARREN BEATTY'S FAULT.

FAYE DUNAWAY MATE QUITE A GETAWAY.

SHE GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE,

READ THE WRONG NAME AND SPLIT,

SHOULDN'T NOD PART OF IT.

SHE WAS SMART TOO.

I SPENT THE WHOLE REST OF
THE WHOLE REST OF THE NIGHT

ANSWERING
QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

IT WAS QUITE AN EVENING.
IT REALLY WAS.
