Express analysis | Conan O’Brien faces Oscar’s challenge after many clown and 30 years of night presenter
The comedian Conan O’Brien is a surprising option to present the Oscars. He arrives at his first gala at 61 and with his years of television success in the past. The veteran Late Night presenter, known for his surreal, physical and jovial tone, left his daily program four years ago, and put a challenge: face works that imposed him terror. The Oscars are one of them, but, in addition, today the fun star nin Max, lead a podcastand this year it premieres in its first dramatic role, in the movie If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Oscar’s commission is not easy. Although presenters of night programs such as Johnny Carson and Jimmy Kimmel are one of the most tanned in these tasks, another like David Letterman, whom he O’Brien Venera, was scalded. O’Brien, who already presented several deliveries from the Emmy, arrives here, however, after a career and with enough disappointments so that this does not mark anything. The worst moment of his career already lived in 2009, when NBC took him, the dream of his entire career.
O’Brien, tall and redhead, is not only tanned in comedy schools as distinguished as Saturday Night Live y but wrote one of the most remembered episodes of the yellow family: Marge against the Monorraíl. But, in addition, the cameras is able to make the greatest hooligan. The best sample is your recent interview in The Hot Ones (The program where spicy wings eat while responding), a flashing hour that has brought new audiences on the Internet. It is surely one of the funniest people on television.
