"It has been a lot happening in a very short time," the comedian tells PEOPLE at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You'

Conan O'Brien is prepping for his next big role: Oscars host. The comedian sat down with ABC News' Chris Connelly ahead of Hollywood's biggest night and said that anything is possible for his first time as the host.

"If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" premiered at Sundance 2025. The brutal film, starring Rose Byrne, features Conan O'Brien shifting into a dramatic role.

Conan O'Brien is preparing to host the Academy Awards as much of Los Angeles is still reeling from wildfires that ravaged parts of the city earlier this month.

Conan O’Brien, the beloved late night show host, has officially made his acting debut in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, an oppressive drama that made waves at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival last Friday (January 24).

Bronstein, a bit of a cult figure in the film world, made her directorial debut in 2008 at the SXSW festival with “Yeast,” which featured a pre-fame Greta Gerwig and was hailed by by New Yorker critic Richard Brody as a “mumblecore classic.”

Oscars host Conan O’Brien says he’s still unable to live in his home due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and that the show’s organizers “want to be sensitive to what’s happened” to residents.

Leary and O’Brien both got their start in comedy, as a stand-up comedian and 'Saturday Night Live' writer, respectively.

Conan O’Brien is one of the lucky few whose Pacific Palisades home is still standing after the LA wildfires, but he says he knows many who’ve been affected by the devastation, including his podcast co-host Sona Movsesian.

“We look like two Irish aunts,” Leary joked after Fallon brought out a side-by-side photo of the two stars, who are third cousins. “We look like sisters, that’s what we look like. Two old sisters.”

Conan O'Brien set to host the 97th Academy Awards, teasing a must-watch performance for Hollywood's biggest night.
