Oscars host Conan O'Brien came out swinging in his opening monologue, going right after Netflix honcho Ted Sarandos!

In a hilarious barb, Conan kidded that this marked Ted's first time in a theater. And it's a good thing Ted seems to have a sense of humor about himself, because it didn't stop there!

Conan dove into a whole act-out envisioning Ted in an outrage of there being so many people at the Dolby Theatre for the Oscars and not at home streaming Netflix.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra nearly had a wipeout before even hitting the red carpet at the Oscars ... after their golf cart ride to the entrance got a little too wild.

We're told the couple's Sprinter van didn't get clearance to drive all the way through the security perimeter near the Dolby Theatre Sunday ... forcing organizers to hustle them the rest of the way in a golf cart.

TMZ obtained video showing the cart moving fast as staff rushed Nick and Priyanka toward the carpet to keep them on schedule. When the driver made a sharp turn with a quick burst of acceleration, the vehicle rocked so hard one of the wheels actually lifts off the ground, nearly tipping over.

Nick and Priyanka held on as the cart swerved its way up toward the theater ... thankfully the driver managed to keep all four wheels down.

We're not sure who's the butt of the joke here, but this guy immediately became an internet sensation.

One X user wrote, "And a legend is born.

Another added, "Florida man's got nothing on Ohio man."

Some seemed to have seen this type of stunt before ... “He doesn’t eat it bro. We use to flick cigarettes in our mouth and back out with our tongue when we were young. I did it a bunch of times. Saliva protects from the initial burn and you have time to take it out,” one commenter posted.
