Organizing an Oscar ceremony is not an easy task, but Conan O’Brien is not unrelated to major events because it has the dinner of Emmys and correspondents of the White House in its CV.
But before the Academy Awards, where the late evening host will direct the show for the first time, he said he was excited for the biggest Hollywood evening.
“I thought of when I was a child who looked at the Oscars, and I was very interested in watching Johnny Carson Host, and I think I saw Bob Hope very early,” he said People. “My intestinal reaction, with which I usually go, was:” Yes, let’s do this thing! “”
Conan also admitted that it doesn’t matter how much he prepared for the show, there would always be challenges.
“There is nothing like going to a point professionally where there is no nerves if you work in comedy,” he said. “I am very aware that it is an emblematic show and can be delicate … I like to meet a challenge,” he noted.
He also shared that his wife, Liza, supported him before the major event. She “was very professional,” he added.
“I think that because it brings her into the festival of Vanity Fair, so let’s face it, she had her own agenda. But no, she thought: “You should go do this!” “”
The 97th Oscars will be broadcast on March 2.
