The Oscar host, 51, had a mission, though. Besides catering to attendees, he also wanted to raise money for his daughters Zahra and Lola’s Girl Scout troop.

“I want you to reach into your millionaire pockets and I want you to buy some of my daughters’ Girl Scout cookies. Look at my babies up there. Are you going to deny my princesses some cookies?” he joked, pointing to a photo of the troop on the screen.

Tina Fey! Get that money, girl. Make that money,” he continued. “Charlize Theron. Yes. Yes. OK. You get them. You get them. Leo [DiCaprio]! You made $30 million. Come on. Come on! Michael B. Jordan‘s here. You know what? No, no, you got enough girls.”
