Guess they weren’t kidding with that “Oscars host for life” sketch at last year’s show. Conan O’Brien is officially back to host next year’s Oscars, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday. The 99th Annual Academy Awards will be the third time that O’Brien has hosted the ceremony’s broadcast.
Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan will also return as the show’s executive producers for the fourth consecutive year.
“We are thrilled to be working again with Conan, Raj, Katy, Jeff and Mike for the 99th Oscars,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor said in a statement.
