If Conan O’Brien needs a friend, he’s certainly found one in the Academy. For the third year in a row, O’Brien has been tapped to host next year’s Oscars. Also back are live TV event producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan as the show’s executive producers for the fourth consecutive year.

O’Brien’s producers Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney will also return as producers as a third time, with Sweeney as weiter. Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy president Lynette Howell Taylor announced the news Tuesday afternoon, tied to the Disney upfronts in New York. The penultimate Academy Awards for Disney, the 99th Oscars are set to air live on ABC and Hulu from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 14, 2027, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
