Conan Will Host The 2025 Academy Awards | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

Yep. He's the sole reason i'm actually going to watch this year.

I'll DVR it so I can skip everything non-Conan

Gourley being potentially denied for Oscar attendance is like watching everyone tell Cinderella she can’t go to the ball…but Cinderella has a legitimate revenge plan against them all.

[@DiscordianDisciple27]

Or...get this: Matt gets to be a Bond villain crashing the Oscars

[@DanielThureskog]

If Matt was just as tall as Conan, he would do a Mission: Impossible switcheroo.

[@ellosly]

❤😂

[@francochan]

As the Brocollis are teasing talk about a new Bond hunt, Gourley can come on stage dressed as Blofeld… and Conan can make his pitch to be the tallest Bond, more gingerly than Roger Moore’s Bond, and undeniably the only Bond that can snarl at women.

[@LiaKozatch]

@@DiscordianDisciple27 yes!

[@vishnuvqln]

The immediate silence after Eduardo goes "Mexican!"...

[@Teslaechar]

“Yeah… do Mexican in front of Eduardo”😂

[@temudzin13]

Why would it be wrong to do mexican accent? because it's racist?

[@Teslaechar]

@@temudzin13 it could be depending upon what you say

[@BluishNomad]

@@temudzin13 less so that it would be racist and more so that it would appear racist, which is much worse

[@vishnuvqln]

@@temudzin13 it would be slightly more awkward because a Mexican is present there.

[@sergioventura2595]

Justice for Matt he deserves at least a second on screen

[@jeskuo]

I could see him being the person that announces the host/presenter and spouts random trivia about the winners

[@HOTD108_]

I'm not sure the Oscars can afford his appearance fee for that long.

[@jotzu9055]

would be nice to see Andy

[@lockelamorra9375]

Does be though, just knowing he was there and being kept from speaking or being seen would be so much funnier, also there is bound to be a restraining order joke with daniel craig

[@h3artands0uLL]

@@jotzu9055that’s true. Hadn’t thought of that. Andy helped Conan for most of his career he should be there too

[@JAFOpty]

here is my pitch: 4 hours of these three arguing while the Oscars announcements are made via a text scroll in the lower third of the screen.

[@Games_and_Music]

Yeah, have a chyron pop up every 10 minutes or so when it is time for a new winner to be declared.

[@sew75962]

😂 “what do you want us to do boss”. Sona finally serious about actually being an assistant. But only as an assistant for stage time.

[@Blisterdude123]

Is that the only time she's ever called him boss? It took me by surprise lmao

[@neoduke007]

Legit never heard her call him boss before, she knows how to get on his sweet side haha 🤣

[@CoOlKyUbI96]

All it took was potentially being featured at the Oscars for her to finally call Conan “boss” 🤣

[@Xanderall]

"You don't want to know too much about the animal before you put it down" OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO BRUTAL

[@Seabeams]

And the entire video was Matt’s Oscar dreams being savagely put down. 😂

[@benzaiten933]

that fist bump between Bley and Eduardo, after goading Sona to do a Mexican accent, was everything!

[@prophecymediaintl3312]

Anyone else PRAYING AND HOPING for a Jordan Schlansky segment? Could you imagine loll🤣

[@MarcAquino1095]

Only a handful of people at the ceremony would get the joke and everyone else would be so confused, which is why he absolutely should be there 😂

[@effurfeelings]

No.

[@justinklenk]

My life would finally be complete.

[@ficklepickle136]

That would be amazing. They could do a segment like the Karate Kid one when they were in Japan. Jordan could be pretentious about a movie and the director or actor comes out and corrects him.

[@EnriqueTellezChan]

Please don't

[@Norvo82]

Poor Gourley... Chances are Sona *will* pop up on the Oscars in one way or another, but Matt is right: he'd appreciate it more.

[@pj101]

Indeed

Matt's especially gonna be hurt when Jordan Schlansky is the one who ends up on screen

​@@tonypeppercorn3818 You beat me to it. Jordan for the most legendary cameo!! 👍

[@florete2310]

Yeah, poor Gourles... I mean, it was super funny when Conan said "Gourley! You're out!"😂... but then the next moment after that was really sad

[@florete2310]

@@tonypeppercorn3818 Oh no, they can't do that to him... I mean, I would love to see literally everyone from the Coneyverse having their short cameo at the Oscars... But that would be devastating for Matt, if Jordan would get to do a cameo and Matt wouldn't

[@guycampbell733]

This is so much better being able to see Matt's reactions

[@guycampbell733]

re: state of the podcast. I'm going to say no makeup necessary for these videos. Just do the thing y'all always do but let us see the whole episodes. I think people love the casual relaxed vibe. I started listening to the podcast after finding these clips after the Hot Ones episode.

[@abhiu2398]

@@jmp01a24 She's actually 42. She was born in 1982, which does in fact make her a millennial. You do realise millennials are aging, don't you? And she's worked for Conan since 2009. Try and get your facts right instead of spreading misinformation.

[@polyglot12]

Sona has hidden talents! I think Matt was genuinely hurt.

[@user-wm3hu7lo1g]

I choose to believe he acted out. If Conan does not invite him, he's a realist and a professional. It's not as if C is known solely for, and chosen as host only on the basis of, this podcast after all...

[@florete2310]

Yeah. I kind of felt that too

[@jd_molly]

Theyre getting Late Night Conan, not Podcast Conan. So Gourley might not be known by many as an essential associate to Conan.

[@littlebumgorf]

Justice for Matt

[@stevedbertram]

This will be the first time I've watched the Oscars in years. Love you Coco

[@EyesOfByes]

0:55 That would actually be insanely hilarious if the audio producers swapped those "soft claps" when Conan walks out on stage. Do it Conan! It will be unexpected comedy!!

Matt and Sona should host the red carpet pre-show. they'd be awesome at it.

[@francisj.martins7846]

Matt is low key one of the best things about this podcast…

Absolutely. I would even as far as to say that he is one of the top 3 presenters in the show.

HIGHKEY (if that's a word, btw)

[@davidhurtado2725]

Eduardo emphatically saying "Mexican" from out of nowhere is bliss 😂

[@privateeromally]

Conan should have Sona and Matt come out to read out an award. When they* inevitably mess up, just have Conan berate them for a bit and invite the "professionals" to do it

[@Games_and_Music]

Or his "doctor" handing out an award. I was thinking of that as well, but yeah, i guess some of those winners would be acting like losers, because maybe they think they deserve better than to be handed the award by "amateur comedy assistants". I mean, it could happen.

Yeah, they could as well put a table on stage and sit them down, and hear them riff about which dumb category they have to introduce this time and how good movies used to be etc., it can just be clean fun and entertaining without needing to shock or clickbait controversies. But yeah, there'll always be something, maybe "they" would find it too low key and too little effort or whatever.
