    • Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced Christopher McQuarrie for ‘King Conan’.
    • The ‘Mission Impossible’ writer/director is reportedly aboard the next stage of the character.
    • Schwarzenegger also hinted at a return to the ‘Predator’ universe.

    When Arnold Schwarzenegger talks, people listen. And when he talks potential projects featuring iconic characters he’s played in the past, people listen even more intently.

    You can imagine the reaction, then, when at a recent Arnold Sports Festival in Ohio, he let slip that no less a filmmaker than Christopher McQuarrie –– who has spent the last few years bringing us ‘Mission: Impossible’ movies is aboard to write and direct ‘King Conan,’ with Arnold back as Robert E. Howard’s warrior figure, previously seen in 1982’s ‘Conan the Barbarian’ and 1984’s ‘Conan the Destroyer’.

    While there was some skepticism given the long development and previously unsuccessful attempts at a Conan follow-up, The Hollywood Reporter brings word that McQuarrie is indeed on board.

    Here’s Schwarzenegger’s latest statement on the project:

    “They just hired a fantastic writer/director who did Tom Cruise’s last four movies. They just hired Christopher McQuarrie to write and direct ‘King Conan.’ Now, what they do is that they write the part. They don’t write them like I’m forty years old; you write it to be age-appropriate. I’ll still go in there and kick some ass, but it will be different…With ‘King Conan,’ it’s a great old story that Conan was forty years as King, and now he gets forced out of the kingdom, and there’s conflict, of course, but somehow he comes back, and there’s all kinds of madness, violence, magic, and creatures, and stuff like that. And now, of course, there’s all kinds of special effects.”

    What else did Schwarzenegger hint at?

    In good form, Schwarzenegger also let slip that he’s talked to ‘Predator: Badlands’ director Dan Trachtenberg about returning to one of his other big action franchises.

    We’ll have to wait and see whether any of this comes to pass, but it’s certainly an exciting update!

  • Conan O’Brien Returning to Host the Oscars

    • Host Conan O’Brien will return for next year’s Oscars ceremony.
    • O’Brien has experience with shows such as the Emmys, ‘The Simpsons’ and his own late night output.
    • The 2026 ceremony will be held on March 15th next year.

    Well, that didn’t take long.

    Clearly looking to avoid the protracted search and endless speculation about who would host the 2025 Oscars, the heads of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have moved quickly to confirm that this year’s host, comedian and talk show veteran Conan O’Brien, has already been confirmed to return for 2026.

    Yes, forget making any guesses as to whether Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman or any number of other big names (longtime Oscar host Billy Crystal accepting a giant payday to come back for one more ceremony?), this time the Academy wanted to make it clear: Conan is the man. Again.

    It follows the well-received ceremony of earlier this month, which saw ‘Anora’ score five Oscars (including a record four in one night for one person on one movie for writer/director/producer/editor Sean Baker) and a running time that, while it was overlong, still managed to be entertaining.

    mF6ytgKq5I0FWjBWzwNvH2

    You can find our recap here.

    A lot of that credit goes to O’Brien, the writing team assembled to work with him and the producing side of things, so it’s perhaps not surprising that Emmy-winning producing team Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan are also returning to lead the show for the third consecutive year.

    And on a pure ratings level it was also a success, as the ceremony, held on March 2nd, delivered the highest viewership numbers in five years. The broadcast drew 19.69 million viewers and had a dominant presence on social media, racking up 104.2 million interactions, surpassing both the Grammys and the Super Bowl in online engagement.

    Conan O’Brien: The Basics

    If this year’s Oscars wasn’t enough of an introduction to wider audiences as to O’Brien’s style, here’s a quick briefing…

    Conan began his late-night hosting career in 1993, taking over for David Letterman on NBC’s ‘Late Night.’ After an ill-fated, year-long tenure at ‘The Tonight Show’ after replacing Jay Leno in 2009, O’Brien later moved to TBS for ‘Conan,’ which he hosted from 2011 to 2021.

    In recent years, he transitioned from anchoring a late night talk show to hosting a hit podcast, ‘Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,’ and presiding over a podcasting empire under the banner of Team Coco.

    A former writer on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and ‘The Simpsons,’ he has garnered 31 Emmy nominations, five of which resulted in wins.

    In terms of awards shows, O’Brien has also hosted the Emmy Awards a couple of times, and also served as emcee of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 1995 and 2013. He was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2010, and is the 2025 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

    O’Brien was typically quippy about his return engagement:

    “The only reason I’m hosting the Oscars next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech.”

    It’s a reference to ‘The Brutalist’ Best Actor winner Adrien Brody, whose speech, which ran to around five minutes and 40 seconds, has ranked as the longest in Academy history.

    Kramer and Yang were more straightforward in their own press release:

    “We are thrilled to bring back Conan, Raj, Katy, Jeff and Mike for the 98th Oscars! This year, they produced a hugely entertaining and visually stunning show that celebrated our nominees and the global film community in the most beautiful and impactful way. Conan was the perfect host — skillfully guiding us through the evening with humor, warmth and reverence. It is an honor to be working with them again.”

    Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich had this to say:

    “Conan’s unique comedic style perfectly captured the moment, and I’m excited to have his talents back onstage next year to helm another indelible performance.”

    Finally, this was the comment from Oscars executive producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan:

    “We are both so honored to be returning in our roles for the 98th Oscars. We can’t wait to work with Conan and his entire team as we continue to explore even more special and heartfelt opportunities to celebrate next year’s nominees and the impact of film around the world.”

    When will the 98th Oscars be on TV?

    The 98th Academy Awards, held once again at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, are set to air live on ABC on March 15th next year, starting at 7pm ET/4pm PT.

    Preview:

    • Conan O’Brien will host next year’s Oscars ceremony.
    • The announcement comes after a lengthy search.
    • O’Brien has experience with shows such as ‘The Simpsons’ and his own late night output.

    Each year –– aside from when a previous host such as Jimmy Kimmel agrees to return –– there is the seemingly long slog for the team behind the Academy Awards in finding a suitable host for the televised ceremony of handing out trophies to some of the best movies and performances of the past year.

    Now we finally know who has the job: Conan O’Brien, a man who is best known for his comedy career, his relatively short-lived stint in primetime late-night TV and his resurgence after that.

    Conan began his late-night hosting career in 1993, taking over for David Letterman on NBC’s ‘Late Night.’ After an ill-fated, year-long tenure at ‘The Tonight Show’ after replacing Jay Leno in 2009, O’Brien later moved to TBS for ‘Conan,’ which he hosted from 2011 to 2021.

    A former writer on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and ‘The Simpsons,’ he has garnered 31 Emmy nominations, five of which resulted in wins.

    He’s an interesting choice –– certainly a proven talent in both writing and performing, but perhaps not as well-known as some previous hosts. Still, his job will be to make some initial jokes and keep the ceremony moving and we’re fascinated to see what he comes up with.

    While the search for a new host is private, there are always leaks and speculation about who might take the stage, following a legacy that has included the likes of Kimmel, Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, Jerry Lewis, Hugh Jackman and Bob Hope.

    This year, while Kimmel was offered the chance to return, he turned it down, and comedian John Mulaney also reportedly passed on the job. There was also talk of Jackman coming back, this time alongside ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ co-star/pal Ryan Reynolds, but that has not worked out.

    In his own, inimitable, self-deprecating style, O’Brien had this to say about the choice:

    “America demanded it and now it’s happening: Taco Bell’s new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In other news, I’m hosting the Oscars.”

    Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang were more straightforward in their own press release:

    “We are thrilled and honored to have the incomparable Conan O’Brien host the Oscars this year. He is the perfect person to help lead our global celebration of film with his brilliant humor, his love of movies, and his live TV expertise. His remarkable ability to connect with audiences will bring viewers together to do what the Oscars do best –– honor the spectacular films and filmmakers of this year.”

    Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich had this to say:

    “Conan is a preeminent comedic voice, whose decades-long success is marked by his distinctive humor and perspective. He joins an iconic roster of comedy greats who have served in this role, and we are so lucky to have him center stage for the Oscars.”

    Finally, this was the comment from Oscars executive producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan:

    “Conan has all the qualities of a great Oscars host –– he is incredibly witty, charismatic and funny and has proven himself to be a master of live event television. We are so looking forward to working with him to deliver a fresh, exciting and celebratory show for Hollywood’s biggest night.”

  • Conan O’Brien Settles Joke Theft Lawsuit, Explains Why

    Conan O’Brien Settles Joke Theft Lawsuit, Explains Why

    Conan O'Brien hosting Conan
    TBS

    There’s no longer a lawsuit over alleged joke theft hanging over Conan O’Brien‘s head. The late-night TV host has settled the suit before its previously scheduled May trial date, and he has now penned an essay for Variety explaining his reasoning.

    The lawsuit dates back to July 2015, when Robert Alexander Kaseberg claimed that O’Brien and other connected to TBS’s “Conan” had stolen five jokes from him. Kaseberg had posted them online, and they also ended up on O’Brien’s show. The “Conan” host, however, still maintains his innocence. In his essay, O’Brien explained a concept called “parallel creation” and argued that’s what happened here.

    “Parallel creation” is when multiple people independently come up with the same joke, and O’Brien pointed out that it happens all the time in the internet age, especially with topical humor. He gave multiple examples and pointed out that there’s a specific name for it on Twitter: “tweet-saming.”

    “The fact of the matter is that with over 321 million monthly users on Twitter, and seemingly 60% of them budding comedy writers, the creation of the same jokes based on the day’s news is reaching staggering numbers,” O’Brien wrote.

    Although the comedian reiterated that he believes he and his colleagues are in the right, he said he decided to settle because he wanted to avoid “a potentially farcical and expensive jury trial in federal court over five jokes that don’t even make sense anymore.” The terms of the settlement weren’t revealed, but both O’Brien and Kaseberg noted that the dispute had been resolved amicably.

    The two both seemed to agree on another point, as well: that stealing material is unacceptable. O’Brien called it “the worst thing any comic can be accused of” — “short of murder,” while Kaseberg said in a statement (via Variety) that he’s proud his case “shed light on an issue facing all comedy writers.”

    With the lawsuit behind them, they can both focus on writing new jokes. And hopefully not the same ones.

  • Please Watch Jodie Foster, Nick Offerman, Hilary Swank Audition for ‘Batgirl’

    Please Watch Jodie Foster, Nick Offerman, Hilary Swank Audition for ‘Batgirl’

    Conan, Nick Offerman
    TBS

    As long as they don’t growl “F*ck Batman” like that ingrate Robin…

    The CW has a “Batwoman” series coming up, and Joss Whedon used to be making a “Batgirl” movie for DC.

    Conan O’Brien jumped in on all the Batlady talk with nice little video taking us behind-the-scenes for the “Batgirl” auditions:

    Auditioning stars included Kristen Schaal, Tig Notaro, Maria Bamford (upside down, going Method), Nicole Byer, and even Nick Offerman — who was pissed that they were only looking at women for the role.

    Nick Offerman: “Of course. This is the same bullsh*t I got on ‘Ocean’s 8.’ I bet Sandy Bullock gets this one too!”

    Heh. Sandra Bullock didn’t even show. But Hilary Swank did. She held up one of her Oscars to say “This is my audition right here.” BOOM.

    Jodie Foster later auditioned, asking if Swank brought her Oscar as her audition.  Told yes, she brought out her own funky knight statue.

    Wanda Sykes later auditioned, aking if Jodie Foster brought out her “weird” knight statue.

    Thomas Middleditch also auditioned, but just for the role of a waiter.

    Conan played favorites, and maybe he’s right:

    It’s tough to top Ron Swanson. Hilary Swank might want to up her argument by bringing in her second Oscar for a second audition.

  • Ryan Reynolds & Conan Kiss (for 20 Seconds) in Tender ‘The Notebook 2’ Clip

    Confirmed: 1) Conan O’Brien is the luckiest person alive. Also probably worth confirming: 3) Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are out there right now, steaming with jealousy.

    Last night, Reynolds was on “Conan” and was basically Deadpool without the costume. In a little game he played with Conan, Andy Richter, and the Apollo Theater audience, he had everyone guess what he was really there to promote. So….

    What was Ryan Reynolds really on “Conan” to promote?

    • A new line of underwear made of thinly sliced ham?
    • His new documentary about dolphins … and how to stop them?
    • His new parenting book: “10 Easy Steps to Lower Your Child’s Self-Esteem”?
    • Reynolds Wrap: “When You Need to Wrap, Wrap With Reynolds”?
    • His sex tape with the cast of “Fox & Friends” called “Can You Guess Where My Thumb Is?”
    • His album of children songs about Civil War wounds?
    • Or a clip from his new film, “The Notebook 2,” co-starring Conan?

    As you may have guessed, it was the final answer, and for once, Conan allowed them to roll the clip. So here are Ryan and Conan making out for 20 full seconds in the rain in a beautiful clip from “The Notebook 2”:
    So tender. So honest. Take our money now.

    Watch more of Ryan’s “Conan” clips on the show’s site. He’s our treasure.

  • After ‘The Walking Dead,’ Steven Yeun Has a Sweet New Gig on ‘Conan’

    steven yeun, walking dead, the walking dead, conanIf you’re The Walking Dead,” a new clip from “Conan” may cheer you up.

    In the segment, a very much alive Steven Yeun (the actor who had played Glenn since season one of the AMC zombie drama) assured host Conan O’Brien that he’s doing okay after his character’s traumatic death at the hands of new villain Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). And while Yeun admitted that his seven years portraying Glenn were a significant period in his life, he told the host he’d already lined up a new gig: Standing in for O’Brien during “Conan” rehearsals.

    Cut to shots of Yeun mimicking — and definitely mocking — the host’s routine and banter with guests (“Joke, interview, talking to you, listening, joke, interview, band”) before going off-script and just doing whatever the hell he wants. That includes playing guitar, giving himself a tear-filled pep talk, and trying (and failing) to style his hair in Conan’s signature swooping style. Yeun eventually abandons that latter task in favor of donning a red wig, though as a special — and pretty perfect — guest points out, it’s not quite red enough.

    It’s a silly gag that made us chuckle, and makes us think Yeun will definitely be fine with whatever actual job he lands post-“TWD.” We’ll miss Glenn, but we’re excited to see what the talented, hilarious actor does next.

  • John Krasinski Blames Chris Hemsworth for Losing Captain America Role

    It’s hard to imagine anyone other than “The Office” alum John Krasinski wanted the role and got as far as a screen test. “In my head, I got the part,” he told Conan O’Brien.

    What went wrong? Well, maybe more than one thing, but it sounds like some body insecurity got in the way, thanks to an ill-timed appearance from the impossibly fit Chris Hemsworth as Thor.

    Krasinski told his Cap screen test story on “Conan”:

    “It was a big deal for me. First of all, I love those Marvel movies. I love superheroes. I love imagination. So when they asked me to test, they actually allowed me to put on the suit. I was on a set. It was actually very interesting. … But I remember the only bummer of it was, I was putting on the suit, just watching, like, ‘This is so amazing’ and I got about right to my waist. I was still shirtless, feeling pretty good about myself … and all of a sudden Chris Hemsworth walked by as Thor. And he’s like, ‘Hey, mate.’ And I went, ‘I’m good! This is stupid. It’s OK. I’m not Captain America. It’s fine.’”

    Awww. Poor Jim felt body-shamed by the ultimate muscle man. There has to be a lot of pressure for these superhero guys to get and stay ridiculously fit — from the Chrises to Henry Cavill as Superman, and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Krasinski could have gotten himself there, if that’s what Marvel wanted, but the bigger question is, would his Steve Rogers have had the right chemistry with Bucky Barnes? That’s what the franchise really hinges on.

    Watch him tell the story in the video below. The Marvel sniper quip was pretty funny:Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

  • Best of Late Night TV: Ariana Grande’s Musical Impressions, Jake Gyllenhaal’s Cake Revenge on Amy Schumer

    If you’re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of what happened last night on late night.

    Ariana Grande isn’t always that great at being Ariana Grande (DonutGate) but she’s pretty much perfect at being Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Celine Dion. Watch her mimic her peers in “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s” classic Wheel of Musical Impressions game: Robert De Niro, also on “The Tonight Show,” confirmed he has a project coming up with Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and *maybe* Harvey Keitel. The working title is “The Irishman.” De Niro also did a Jimmy Fallon impression to match Jimmy’s impressions of him. “The Tonight Show” also did a great GOP debate spoof, “The Debating Game” a version of “The Dating Game” with three candidates (with Fallon as Trump, obviously) trying to win over an undecided voter: Jake Gyllenhaal was on “Late Show With Stephen Colbert” and responded to Amy Schumer’s cake theft. Amy, who was on Stephen’s show last Friday, lived in Jake’s house for a while. (Jake said everyone in Hollywood knows each other and just lives in the same house.) While in Jake’s house, Amy found a frozen cake reading “Happy Birthday,” so she ate it, and taped herself eating it. So Stephen enabled Jake’s revenge, breaking out a similar-looking wrapped cake so Jake could eat it on air. “Hey, princess, what’s going on?” Jake said, looking into the camera. Stephen also took a bite, and Jake instructed him to “bite where I bit.” “The Late Show” also mixed the 2016 presidential race with “The Hunger Games” to create “The Hungry For Power Games”: Josh Brolin and Seth Meyers had a “Back in My Day” chat, getting all grandpa (GILFs?) about how things were simple and better way back when … before Starbucks started serving alcohol: John Stamos talked to Jimmy Fallon about being a GILF on his new show “Grandfathered” and — since Stamos is a sitcom king — they made their own sitcom openings. Love the fake set and wigs: Paul Bettany was on “Conan” and continued the “Avengers” team’s beef against Jason Statham. Jason had dissed the “Avengers” for all the stunt doubles they use and Paul suggested Jason get an acting double. Over on “The Late Late Show,” Pauley Perrette and Alice Cooper covered James Corden in some of Alice’s makeup to give him the Alice Cooper rock star treatment:
