Never one to miss an opportunity for humor, O’Brien addressed the news in his trademark style:
“America asked, and Taco Bell delivered: the new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. Oh, and by the way, I’m hosting the Oscars!”
The 61-year-old comedian’s witty response underscores his knack for blending irreverence with relatability—a quality that makes him uniquely suited to engage both live and global audiences.
Producers Speak on O’Brien’s Expertise
Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan, the Oscars’ executive producers, expressed confidence in O’Brien’s ability to steer the live event:
“Conan has all the qualities of a great Oscars host—he is incredibly witty, charismatic, and funny and has proven himself to be a master of live event television.”
O’Brien’s hosting experience, combined with his love of storytelling and connection to Hollywood culture, is expected to elevate the Oscars to a new level of entertainment.
A Night to Celebrate Film and Storytelling
As anticipation builds for the 2025 Oscars, viewers can expect an evening filled with laughter, cinematic celebration, and unforgettable moments. With O’Brien at the helm, the event is set to capture the magic of filmmaking while delivering a fresh, comedic twist.
