Conan O'Brien's 98th Oscars Cold Open (2026)

Conan being animated in Kpop demon hunter was crazy 😂

Let's appreciate the artists who carefully matched the lighting and staging for all these films so well.

Conan O'Brien completely commits to the bit, no matter what it is. And that's why we love him.

This really must be so confusing if you haven't watched Weapons

Now THAT´S a running Gag :)

Not even joking... Conan was the SOLE reason I watched the Oscars 😂 This cold open is soooo Conan lol

This has such old school Conan energy and I love it!

3:28 - It's pretty bad, but as a Norwegian I still have to give credit to this old Dutch lady for trying to speak Norwegian to the Swedish guy 👏

As a Norwegian, I must say his Icelandic is on point

I look like Bette Davis with lupus 😂

Best Oscars opening sequence in a long time! 😂😍🤩

Now this is how you make an introduction. Well done, Conan.

4:08 He’s been using that song for over 32 years and it is still funny. 🇮🇪

Those kids must've had a blast doing their part. And that Conan makeup is everything! "I look like Betty Davis with lupus" is crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Perfect use of Sabotage by the Beastie Boys. Great opening!

That thumbnail is the stuff of nightmares

I appreciate that they took the time to animate for the KPDH bit!

The intercutting between the chase and that Hamnet scene is hilariously perfect!

He never fails to commit to an act, always putting himself as a running gag. I have deep respect for this man.

Conan visited the Philippines last year and was so kind to everyone who approached him while he was out and about. Love him!
