Conan O'Brien Hosts Oscars, Honors Late Parents

0:00This is your entertainment update for March 12th. Conan O'Brien is set to host the 98th Academy Awards on March 15th. At a press conference on March 11th, the 62-year-old comedian joined producers to preview the big night celebrating the best in movies. He shared a heartfelt story about bonding with his late father over watching Johnny Carson host the Oscars years ago. That simple shared laugh created a special family connection for him as a kid. Both of Conan's parents passed away recently. His dad, Dr. Thomas O'Brien, in December 2024, followed just three days later by his mom. Ruth. Produces also hinted at fun reunions during the show, bringing back the cast from the 2011 comedy, Bridesmaids, and Starris from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Oscars air live at 7pm, eastern on ABC, and stream on Hulu, promising more surprises ahead. The Daily News Now is made possible with support from our sponsor, Your Pillow, Your Podcast,
