Comedian Jimmy Kimmel hosted at least part of the Academy Awards on Sunday night with what appeared to be a potato chip resting on his head.
WATCH:
The awards show returned from a commercial break to Kimmel holding a snack in one hand with another resting on the top of his head. Kimmel joked that “the snacks this year a disgusting” but never referenced the one sitting on his head, making it unclear as to whether or not it was meant to be a part of the joke.

The starchy snack remained on Kimmel’s head until he introduced Rita Moreno, star of “West Side Story.” Twitter seemed confused by the stunt and even wondered if he was donning a piece of rogue confetti.

Jimmy Kimmel is really unfunny. Definitely the worst of the late night hosts. Why did he have a snack on his head? #Oscars

Is anyone going to tell Jimmy Kimmel there’s something on the top of his head or do we want to see how long this will go? #Oscars
