At the 2025 Oscars, the night was filled with humor, celebrity appearances, and playful jabs, especially when Conan O’Brien took the stage to host. As the crowd cheered, O’Brien’s lighthearted opening remarks set the tone for the evening. He made a quick, witty comment about the suit he was wearing, which seemed to be the perfect blend of humor and style. O’Brien confidently quipped that his attire would ensure he wouldn’t have any accidents on his bike that evening—a comment that landed well with the audience.

The comedic atmosphere continued as O’Brien turned his attention to actor Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for his portrayal of the legendary Bob Dylan in an upcoming biopic. O’Brien, ever the master of playful banter, jokingly warned that Timothée “better be ready” for the evening’s festivities. He teased that they would have a great time after the ceremony, promising the night would be memorable. This drew a chuckle from the audience, but O’Brien didn’t stop there.

He went on to humorously predict that the Oscar program might suffer from his unpredictable antics. Despite his lighthearted teasing, it was clear that O’Brien’s wit was making an impression. Then, O’Brien mentioned Chalamet’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, who had been present at the event. He joked that Jenner might not have been too thrilled about some of the humor aimed at Chalamet’s outfit, referring to it as an “xoni ensemble,” which drew some laughter.

The jokes shifted towards Timothée’s other Oscar-nominated film, Dune 2, which has been a significant success. The sci-fi sequel had already made waves in the box office and earned nominations for Best Picture and Best Director for Denis Villeneuve. O’Brien continued with a playful comment about the film’s behind-the-scenes rules. He shared that Villeneuve had reportedly banned smartphones on the Dune 2 set. According to O’Brien, this was because the actors kept Googling, “What is this movie about?” The crowd found this remark amusing, adding to the night’s comedic energy.

Moving on, Conan O’Brien reflected on the importance of hosting the Oscars, noting that it is the pinnacle of award shows. For many in the entertainment industry, hosting the Oscars is a dream job—one that people often fantasize about as children. O’Brien joked that he had hosted many awards shows over the years, but the Oscars were the ultimate prize. He humorously added that as long as the pay was good, he was on board. This playful comment was another example of how O’Brien mixed humor with the prestige of the event.

In true O’Brien fashion, the night was filled with spontaneous humor and wit. He created a light atmosphere that allowed the stars to shine while also allowing for moments of comic relief. As the Oscars ceremony continued, O’Brien’s unique hosting style seemed to keep everyone engaged and entertained, making it clear why he was chosen for the prestigious role of hosting one of the most important nights in Hollywood. And with his promise to hang out with Timothée Chalamet after the show, the night promised to be an unforgettable mix of laughs and star power.
