\n\tWell, that was fast. Just two weeks after Conan O\u2019Brien hosted the Oscars for the first time, the Motion Picture Academy announced that he will be back to host the 2026 show. O\u2019Brien is the first first-time host to host again the following year since Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> in 2017-18.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t5 Reasons the 2025 Oscars Saw a Slight Ratings Increase Over 2024 ‘Barbenheimer’ Showdown\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cThe only reason I\u2019m hosting the Oscars next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech,\u201d O\u2019Brien said with characteristic dry wit. (The best actor winner set a new record for the longest acceptance speech \u2013 <\/strong>it clocked in at 5:36 \u2013 in Oscar history.)<\/p>\n

\n\tIt can\u2019t be a coincidence that the Oscars chose to make the announcement on St. Patrick\u2019s Day. O\u2019Brien was famously raised in an Irish Catholic family. The host announcement is much earlier in the year than normal, a strong vote of confidence in the new host. Last year<\/a>, the Academy announced O\u2019Brien as host on Nov. 15. O\u2019Brien\u2019s success as an Oscars host makes up for his bumpy, eight-month run as host of another legendary franchise, The Tonight Show<\/em>, in 2009-10.<\/p>\n

\n\tO\u2019Brien, 61, has won five Primetime Emmys. He is set to receive the Mark Twain Prize<\/a> for American Humor on March 23.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, the Golden Globes made a similarly early announcement<\/a> that they are bringing back first-time host Nikki Glaser to host their 2026 show.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2025 Oscars, held on March 2, delivered a five-year high in both total viewers (19.69 million) and adults 18-49 (4.54 rating) and ranked as the No. 1 primetime entertainment telecast in both total viewers and adults for the 2024-25 season. The show earned 104.2 million total social interactions, ranking as the No. 1 most social TV program for the season to date, outperforming both The Grammy Awards (102.2 million interactions) and The Super Bowl (62.4 million) this season for the first time on record.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2026 Oscars will air live on ABC on Sunday, March 15 at 7 p.m. ET\/4 p.m. PT. It\u2019s the third year in a row that the telecast will start at 4 p.m. on the West Coast \u2013 in an effort to make it so that East Coast viewers can find out who wins the biggest awards before they go to bed. (This year\u2019s show ended at 10:50 p.m. ET, making that goal a reality for all but the earliest risers.)<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show has aired on ABC every year since 1976, when that network took over from NBC, which had aired it in the five previous years. The Academy\u2019s current deal with ABC, signed in 2016, allows it to televise the show through 2028, which will be the year of the show\u2019s 100th anniversary.<\/p>\n

\n\tAn Academy statement did not mention Hulu, which livestreamed the show this year for the first time. Technical glitches marred the livestream.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show will again be held at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Theater in Hollywood, its home base for every year but one since 2002. (The best-forgotten 2021 pandemic show was held at the Union Station in downtown L.A.)<\/p>\n

\n\tRaj Kapoor and Katy Mullan will return as the show\u2019s executive producers for the third consecutive year. They first served in that capacity in 2024, when Kimmel hosted. They each won Primetime Emmys for outstanding variety special (live) for that show. Kapoor had previously won for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) for his work on Adele: One Night Only.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are both so honored to be returning in our roles for the 98th Oscars,\u201d Kapoor and Mullan said in a joint statement. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to work with Conan and his entire team as we continue to explore even more special and heartfelt opportunities to celebrate next year\u2019s nominees and the impact of film around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJeff Ross and Mike Sweeney will return as producers for a second time. Sweeney will also serve as a writer. Sweeney has won three Primetime Emmys for previous productions with O\u2019Brien. Ross has won one.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are thrilled to bring back Conan, Raj, Katy, Jeff and Mike for the 98th Oscars!\u201d said Academy CEO Bill Kramer and president Janet Yang in a joint statement. \u201cThis 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 \u2013 skillfully guiding us through the evening with humor, warmth and reverence. It is an honor to be working with them again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
