3 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Oscars turn to Conan O’Brien
It’s finally happening. Conan O’Brien is hosting the Oscars.
In my head, O’Brien had already hosted the Oscars. The late-night legend has been around for so long, it had to have happened before, right? (I was probably thinking of the times O’Brien hosted the Emmys.) But now, in the year 2025, O’Brien will host the biggest awards show there is.
“We are thrilled and honored to have the incomparable Conan O’Brien host the Oscars this year,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang said in a statement. “He is the perfect person to help lead our global celebration of film with his brilliant humor, his love of movies, and his live TV expertise. His remarkable ability to connect with audiences will bring viewers together to do what the Oscars do best — honor the spectacular films and filmmakers of this year.”
“America demanded it and now it’s happening: Taco Bell’s new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In other news, I’m hosting the Oscars,” O’Brien added.
Hosting the Oscars is never an easy gig. Jimmy Kimmel needed a break after hosting the two most recent ceremonies. Will the buzz around O’Brien bring a new audience to the show? Or will we see a repeat of the Tonight Show’s ratings dip?
