The comedian received positive reviews for emceeing the just-wrapped 97th Academy Awards, which saw a slight boost in viewership.
After earning rave reviews for his stint hosting the Oscars earlier this month, Conan O'Brien will return to host the 2026 ceremony, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and ABC said Monday. “The only reason I’m hosting ‘The Oscars’ next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech,' O’Brien said in a statement. The academy typically unveils its show emcee in late fall.
By that time, the show was already running long. Television producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan will also return as executive producers for a third straight year. Producers Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney will be back for a second time. Sweeney will also serve as a writer.
