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?
Earlier this year, Conan O’Brien proved to be one of the best Oscar hosts of all time. He did such a magnificent job that the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences didn’t wait a week to offer him the job again. And he said yes.
That was not the only job he said yes to. He also agreed to star in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Yesterday, he shared the trailer and wrote, “I’ve had a career filled with dumb luck, but getting to be even a small part of a Mary Bronstein film opposite the frighteningly talented Rose Byrne is beyond my comprehension. Check out the trailer and, yes, that is what my face looks like.”
With her life crashing down around her, Linda (Rose Byrne) attempts to navigate her child’s mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person, and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist.
After watching his performance in that teaser, I wonder if he will be nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor on Movies Biggest Night. Could you imagine? Although that would suck if he lost and had to continue hosting for the rest of the night, since it is one of the first categories of the awards show.
The year of Conan O’Brien continues! First, he hosted the Oscars. Then, he received the 25th Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Today, he announced that he is joining Toy Story 5 as Smarty Pants.
And that was not the role that the Smarty Pants wanted. He was hoping to play either Buzz Lightyear or Woody. However, those roles were taken by some other unknown actors, Tom Hanks and Tim Allen.
However, after reading the script, Conan thinks he got the best role in the upcoming film. Even though we don’t know what his character will be doing.
When will we see him as Smarty Pants? It will be released on June 19, 2026.
Before Conan O’Brien was interviewing celebrities for a living, he was interviewing his siblings, Kate and Luke, with whom he was living. How cute was the 11-year-old testing out his comedic timing in 1974? I love that he is still doing that little laugh.
