An estimated 19.7 million viewers watched the 97th Academy Awards ceremony earlier this month, according to broadcaster ABC, with a big lift among people aged 18 to 49, driven by mobile and laptop watches from younger viewers. It was also the most watched prime-time entertainment show of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Conan&#8217;s unique comedic style perfectly captured the moment, and I&#8217;m excited to have his talents back onstage next year to helm another indelible performance,&#8221; said Craig Erwich, the president of Disney Television Group, in a statement.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"Conan O'Brien hosting the 2025 Oscars \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/03\/c895dfa4-2b77-4dd1-93f5-0f756ec76474\/thumbnail\/620x413\/3bca786512d7720c0ac4896529d18bba\/gettyimages-2202399127.jpg?v=e7f44f50e1cf6b32bb81cbfeaec70acf 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/03\/c895dfa4-2b77-4dd1-93f5-0f756ec76474\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/42bf16f4d06fb6ff8b4c0ff892d2e5c2\/gettyimages-2202399127.jpg?v=e7f44f50e1cf6b32bb81cbfeaec70acf 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Host Conan O&#8217;Brien performs onstage during the 97th Annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, on March 2, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                PATRICK T.
