Conan O'Brien will return to host the Oscars in 2026. Executive producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan will also return along with producers Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney.
"We are thrilled to bring back Conan, Raj, Katy, Jeff and Mike for the 98th Oscars. This year, they produced a hugely entertaining and visually stunning show that celebrated our nominees and the global film community in the most beautiful and impactful way. Conan was the perfect host — skillfully guiding us through the evening with humor, warmth and reverence. It is an honor to be working with them again," said Academy CEO Bill Kramer and outcoming president Janet Yang in a statement.
O'Brien joked, "The only reason I’m hosting the Oscars next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech."
