Holywood event organizers wish to reintroduce Conan O’Brien as a major component for the 2025 upcoming Oscars. Americans in attendance had tears in their eyes at this year’s ceremony after the TV host surprised them at the event with snappy jokes that poked fun at the stars on stage. Hollywood organizers are currently planning to welcome Conan O’Brien back for the 2026 Oscar awards show.
A Joy to Work With
During an interview with Variety Rob Mills praised his experience working with O’Brien and described it as a privilege. He stated his positive feelings about the return of Conan O’Brien while doing an interview with Variety.
“That’s really up to Conan, but I know we would love to have him back,” he said. “I don’t know if this counts as an official offer, but I really hope he wants to come back.”
Mills also admitted that working with O’Brien was the next best thing to having Jimmy Kimmel on board, hinting at just how much the team enjoyed the experience.
Conan Stole the Show
During the night Conan O’Brien established himself as a comedic master by delivering a perfect performance pointing to why he is widely regarded as one of the top comedic talents today. Conan O’Brien’s performance during the show received a comparison to his defined icons from previous award ceremonies including his time as Emmy presenter.
“It was this sense memory of 30 years of not only him in late night, but when he would host the Emmys and all the stuff he’s done. This was almost like Conan’s greatest hits,” Mills remarked.
With such high praise, it’s clear the Academy sees O’Brien as a perfect fit for future Oscar ceremonies.
More Unforgettable Moments
The 2025 Oscars became memorable through Conan’s stage performance although it also established multiple historical milestones during the ceremony. The 2025 Oscars victory speech delivered by Adrien Brody became the primary highlight of the night until he broke the record for the longest time a winner spent at the podium. The audience will have to wait to find out whether or not Conan O’Brien will host the 2026 awards ceremony. The Academy currently appears eager to revive the crimson carpet welcome for him once formal confirmation becomes available.
