Conan O'Brien, The 2026 Oscars Interview Conan O’Brien, the man Stephen Colbert dubs “the patron saint of ex-talk show hosts,” is preparing to host the 98th Academy Awards, a gig he’s approached with a mix of obsession and self-deprecation. The comedian, now 62, has spent months refining his material for the event, delivering a surprise set at Largo, a Los Angeles comedy club, to test his jokes with live audiences. Each performance is followed by a day of writer sessions, as O’Brien and his team debate what resonates with the industry crowd versus the TV audience. “I get obsessive,” he admits. “I want to turn it off, but I can’t. That’s not always a fun ride, but that’s the deal.” O’Brien’s first Oscar hosting stint in 2025 was well-received, prompting him to return for an encore. His approach to the role is both a professional challenge and a personal test. “It’s like this little baby bird that I’m cradling,” he says, gesturing as if to shield his jokes from his own relentless edits. Despite his meticulous preparation, O’Brien acknowledges the inherent risks of live television. “Any live telecast is a flirtation with disaster,” he notes. “Electing to run this particular gauntlet could justifiably be interpreted as masochism.” The decision to host the Oscars again comes after a career marked by reinvention. O’Brien retired from late-night TV in 2021, leaving behind a legacy that includes a successful podcast, a $150 million SiriusXM deal, and an Emmy-winning travel show. He’s also taken on roles that defy his earlier image, such as starring opposite Rose Byrne in the dramedy If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Despite his public persona of self-deprecation, O’Brien’s peers and family admire his work ethic and personal integrity.#conan_obrien #los_angeles #academy_awards #stephen_colbert #jeff_ross
