ABC and AMPAS asked Conan O’Brien to host the Oscars for a third time, and he said, “Yes!”
“Conan has created remarkable energy around ‘The Oscars,’” said President of Disney Television Group Craig Erwich. “His singular comedic voice makes Hollywood’s biggest night one of the most entertaining celebrations of the year. We’re proud to welcome him back and look forward to what he and the producing team deliver next.”
Unlike last year, he is going to have a lot to play with thanks to The Odyssey, Avengers: Doomsday, and Rocky from Project Hail Mary.
Will the third time be the charm for the redhead giant? We will find out when the 99th Oscars air on Sunday, March 14th.
Conan O’Brien brilliantly hosted the Oscars for the second year in a row. But will he be back for a third time?
If you switched off after Sinners lost Best Picture or when the credits started to roll, then you missed the answer.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences offered him the job for life.
Sounds perfect? That is, until you find out “for life” means as long as he is alive. And they unalived him right after he accepted the permanent position.
Who do you think should host in 2027? Because it looks like they have an opening. Not only that, they have the first person to be added to next year’s In Memoriam.
UPDATE: I didn’t realize that this was a reference to One Battle After Another. I haven’t seen it yet. Actually, I never plan to see it. I would rather a bad horror movie than a boring overrated Oscar winner.
Conan O’Brien has made it! Not because he is hosting the Oscars for a second time on Sunday. He made it because he read a category about them on Jeopardy yesterday.
For the $200 clue of the category Oscar Night with Conan O’Brien, he asked the contestants, “Bob Hope hosted the ceremony an amazing 19 times. Coming in second with nine shows between 1990 and 2012 is this man [there is a photo of Billy Crystal on the screen], who I hereby challenge to a host song-and-dance off. I’m going to tune you up and take you down man.”
So, I hereby ask you, who do you think would win the host song-and-dance off? Even at 77, Crystal would wipe the floor with the 6’4″ redheaded host. However, if they added Jimmy Kimmel to the mix, they would both destroy him!
While most red carpets are rolled out for celebrities, a celebrity rolled out the red carpet today.
Who was it and why? Conan O’Brien, who is hosting the Oscars on Sunday, had no problem getting his hands dirty for the job. So, he, along with three other men, rolled out the red carpet in prep for the big event!
And then they posed for a photo for the press. When the cameras stopped rolling, so did Conan. But at least he got three good rolls in, which is the length of what he is tall.
Before Conan O’Brien was interviewing Scarlett Johansson as that, she went on Late Night with Conan as Sarah Hughes. How cute was the 10-year-old making her acting debut in that 1995 episode?
