Conan O'Brien

Conan O'Brien is an American comedian, writer, podcaster and producer whose career arc reads like a writer's room dare: Harvard Lampoon president, Saturday Night Live and Simpsons writer, a 28-year run hosting late-night for NBC and TBS, and a second act built around the chart-topping podcast 'Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend,' the HBO Max travelogue 'Conan O'Brien Must Go,' and a 2025 Oscars hosting gig that drew the show's biggest ratings in years. He sold his media company Team Coco to SiriusXM in 2022 and in March 2025 received the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
