Conan O’Brien will return to the Oscars for a third year in a row. The 99th Oscars will air live on ABC and Hulu on March 14, 2027. Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan will also be brought back as the show’s executive producers for the fourth consecutive year, and Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney for the third year in a row.

“Conan has created remarkable energy around the Oscars,” Craig Erwich, president of Disney Television Group, said in a statement. “His singular comedic voice makes Hollywood’s biggest night one of the most entertaining celebrations of the year. We’re proud to welcome him back and look forward to what he and the producing team deliver next.”

In March, the comedian hosted for the second straight year and brought his signature irreverence with him. During his memorable monologue, O’Brien took a jab at Timothée Chalamet for his discourse-bombing remarks about the ballet and opera, cosplayed as Aunt Gladys in Weapons_, and celebrated the international efforts required to bring movies to the big screen.

“Getting to reunite with Conan O’Brien for a third year at the Oscars is really special. He brings that signature humor everyone loves, along with a real warmth and generosity that carry through the entire show,” Kapoor and Mullan said in a statement. “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.
