The Oscars ceremony has a new host.

After a long association with host Jimmy Kimmel, the most prestigious film award on the planet – the 2025 Oscars – will welcome a new but very familiar face to audiences: veteran comedian and talk show host Conan O'Brien.

With his excellent sense of humor, deep love for cinema, and extensive experience in live television broadcasting, 61-year-old O'Brien is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the biggest film event of the year, airing live on ABC on March 2, 2025.

The CEO of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Bill Kramer, and President Janet Yang both hailed Conan O'Brien as "the perfect person to take our global cinematic celebration to new heights." In an official statement, they noted: "His incredible ability to connect with audiences will unite viewers worldwide to celebrate the best films and filmmakers of the year—something the Oscars always do best."

The 2025 Academy Awards promises to be more than just a celebration of cinema; it will be a memorable night, where the talent and emotion of great films converge, guided by a host with unparalleled style.

This will be O'Brien's first time hosting the Academy Awards, but with his extensive experience leading prestigious events such as the Emmy Awards (2002, 2006) and the White House Correspondents' Association dinner (1995, 2013), he has proven that he is perfectly capable of handling this grand stage.

O'Brien was not just a talk show host, but also an icon of American comedy. His name was associated with popular late-night shows such as "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien," and "Conan."

Before entering the world of the spotlight, Conan O'Brien was also a brilliant writer for classic television shows such as "Saturday Night Live" and "The Simpsons." He has also won five Emmy Awards.
