Funny man Chris Rock didn’t disappoint as host of last night’s Oscars. While some focused on whether he would tackle the issue of race equality in Hollywood (which he briefly touched on), Rock set out to sell…Girl Scout Cookies. He joked during the broadcast, saying,
“I’ve been away frommy two daughters at a very important time in their life,” he said, adding, “I have missed most of Girl Scout cookie season.”
“Last night Zara, my youngest called me up and said, ‘Daddy how come we never sell the most cookies? How come Mrs. Dunn wins every year?’” he said. “It would mean so much to my little girl if we could beat Linda Dunn.”
Rock then put the pressure on his fellow Hollywood peers, asking them to pony up for a box of Girl Scout Cookies!
“I want you to reach into your millionaire pockets and I want you to buy some of my daughter’s girl scout cookies. Are we going to deny my princesses from cookies? Alright, Tina Fey, get that money, girl. Charlize Theron, yes. Matt Damon, yes. Leo, you made $30 million—come on!”
