"Conan O'Brien has created remarkable energy around The Oscars," President of Disney Television Group Craig Erwich said. "His singular comedic voice makes Hollywood's biggest night one of the most entertaining celebrations of the year. We're proud to welcome him back and look forward to what he and the producing team deliver next."

"We are thrilled to be working again with Conan O'Brien, Raj, Katy, Jeff and Mike for the 99th Oscars," said Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor. "They are an incredible team and have produced such captivating, entertaining and heartfelt shows over the last two years. We are so grateful for their ongoing partnership as we honor our global film community — and we look forward to Conan superbly leading the celebration with his brilliance and humor."

Well, it sure sounds like they are pretty happy with the job Conan has done. For me, it has been a mixed bag, but honestly, I have no idea who else could do it these days. Does this also give Conan the inside track to host the 100th Academy Awards the following year? Whoever hosts that ceremony should consider it a huge honor, especially since it is one of the last ones before YouTube takes over the broadcast in 2029. He made plenty of jokes about that this past year. Will they invite him to do it if he does it again?
