Conan O'Brien

Mentioned 16 times across 2 podcasts this week

This Week's Pulse

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed that Conan O'Brien will return to host the 99th Oscars in March 2027, securing his third consecutive year in the role.

While the industry focuses on his hosting longevity, Conan O'Brien has been vocal about the decline of traditional late-night television. On Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend, the tone remains far more casual than the professional discourse surrounding his Hollywood career. During a recent episode, Billie Eilish pivoted from career talk to tell the host, "You have beautiful eyes too though, Conan." This lighthearted rapport defines the podcast's current atmosphere.

The introspection isn't limited to the guests. Charlie Puth noted the surprising depth of their exchange, stating, "But this, this is very, I didn't know that this was gonna be so introspective. This is very, continue." Even as Conan O'Brien navigates the evolving landscape of late-night, he is busy managing internal drama, including recent online chatter regarding his staff. As he addressed on his show, "Because Eduardo just, I guess this episode just dropped where he called me, um, a little bitch." Expect the contrast between his high-profile awards work and these self-deprecating podcast antics to continue as the 2027 show date approaches.
