Comedian Conan O'Brien will return to host the 99th Oscars, organisers announced during Disney Upfront 2026 on Tuesday.

At the event, Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts confirmed that the Emmy Award-winning host, writer, producer and comedian will reprise hosting duties for the third consecutive year.

Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan will also return as executive producers for the fourth straight year. Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney are set to return as producers for the third time.

“We are thrilled to be working again with Conan, Raj, Katy, Jeff and Mike for the 99th Oscars,” said Kramer and Howell Taylor in a press release. “They are an incredible team and have produced such captivating, entertaining and heartfelt shows over the last two years. We are so grateful for their ongoing partnership as we honor our global film community — and we look forward to Conan superbly leading the celebration with his brilliance and humour.”

Conan O’Brien made his Oscars hosting debut in 2025 and returned for the 98th Oscars earlier this year, where his performance drew positive reviews.

In a press release, Kapoor and Mullan said working with O’Brien for a third year is “really special.”

“He brings that signature humor everyone loves, along with a real warmth and generosity that carry through the entire show,” they said. “He’s a true creative partner, someone we trust completely, and someone who makes the whole process genuinely fun, both behind the scenes and on stage. We’re incredibly grateful to keep building this together and can’t wait to share what’s next.”

The 99th Oscars will air live on ABC and Hulu on March 14, 2027. The ceremony will air on YouTube beginning 2029.
