During the number, Harris guaranteed a "truly legendary show," was joined by one-man-show Mike Tyson, and sarcastically thanked Shia LaBeouf for allowing him to host.

After uniting with him on stage, How I Met Your Mother actor poked fun at the former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion frequently throughout the show, joking that he was giving the cast of Matilda The Musical face tattoos backstage amongst other quips.

Although Harris was on-point the entire show, from French kissing a dog to his closing-number rap, the show was ultimately about the awards—and moreover, the musical performances.
