Conan O'Brien

Conan O’Brien, born in Brookline, Massachusetts, began his comedy career as a two-time president of The Harvard Lampoon. He wrote for Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons before NBC tapped him in 1993 to host Late Night. Over his career, he has won five Emmys, seven Writers Guild Awards, and a People’s Choice Award for "Favorite Television Host." He has hosted two Emmy Awards and performed at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for two presidents. His comedy tours inspired the documentary Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop and a second multi-city stand-up tour in 2018.

In 2021, O’Brien wrapped up an 11-year run with CONAN on TBS, marking 28 years in late-night television, one of the longest tenures in late-night history. His Emmy-winning CONAN Without Borders series has visited 13 countries, and his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend has surpassed 660 million downloads since it launched in 2018. With more than 50k ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts, the show maintains an almost perfect 5-star average and has won numerous awards. His award-winning digital brand Team Coco, which spans across digital and branded content, live events, merchandise and expertly produced comedy specials was acquired by SiriusXM in 2022. He is currently in production on Season 2 of Conan O’Brien Must Go for MAX. Up next, he stars in Mary Bronstein’s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, premiering at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, and will host the Academy Awards on March 2.
