Conan O'Brien Hosts Oscars 2025, Roasts Gascón

Conan O’Brien made his hosting debut at the 2025 Oscars, delivering a memorable monologue that included sharp jokes at the expense of actress Karla Sofía Gascón, star of the nominated film 'Emilia Pérez.' He humorously noted that the Best Picture nominee 'Anora' uses the f-word 479 times, which he claimed was more than the record set by Gascón’s publicist, referencing her recent controversy over past offensive tweets. O’Brien also advised Gascón, who was present at the event, to remember his name is Jimmy Kimmel if she planned to tweet during the Oscars. His playful banter, including a humorous exchange with Adam Sandler about Sandler's casual attire, set a light-hearted tone for the ceremony. O’Brien acknowledged the hard work of those behind the scenes in the film industry, balancing humor with moments of sincerity. The audience reacted with audible gasps and laughter, indicating the impact of his bold humor during the prestigious event.
