- Story Text:Comedian, writer and former late-night host Conan O’Brien will be the host of the 97th Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said on Friday (November 15).
It will be the Emmy-winner's first time hosting the ceremony, which will air live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on ABC on Sunday, March 2, 2025.
“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," Academy CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang said in a statement.
O'Brien, 61, had his own comedic quip on his new gig.
The comedian is best known for hosting the late-night talk shows “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” and “Conan.”
He follows in the footsteps of fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the 2024 Oscars.
