MrBeast\u2019s name made a surprise appearance in a 2026 Oscars sketch, but don\u2019t expect him to replace Conan O\u2019Brien as next year\u2019s host.<\/p>\n
Conan O\u2019Brien kicked off this year\u2019s Academy Awards with a Weapons<\/a> spoof where he played Aunt Gladys, and was chased by kids through several of the major movie nominees.<\/p>\n The awards were then handed out, with One Battle After Another and Sinners<\/a> the big winners on the night, while there were controversies concerning Kpop Demon Hunters<\/a>, the lack of David Keighley<\/a> in the memoriam section, and trash that was left behind<\/a> by attendees.<\/p>\n Article continues after ad<\/p>\n Conan ended the evening with another sketch, that sent up the year\u2019s Best Picture winner, and suggested MrBeast<\/a> might be taking his job in 2027. Warning \u2013 One Battle After Another SPOILERS below\u2026<\/p>\n Is MrBeast hosting next year\u2019s Oscars?<\/p>\n No, MrBeast is not hosting the 2027 Oscars, with his mention at the end of the skit likely a joke.<\/p>\n Article continues after ad<\/p>\n The sketch begins with O\u2019Brien sitting in next to a giant statuette, having just completed hosting duties. An official from the Academy approaches him, and says \u201cGreat show Conan. Just terrific\u2026 We liked it so much, we\u2019ve decided to make you Oscars host for life.\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues after ad<\/p>\n The man then takes Conan to his new office while telling him his \u201cefforts have pleased the Academy greatly. People have not stopped talking about your performance. It was really something.\u201d<\/p>\n He\u2019s escorted to \u2018Suite 55\u2019 where his name is on the door, above the words \u2018Host for Life.\u2019 Conan admires the view from his window, sits down, and sticks his feet on the desk.<\/p>\n A gas is then pumped into the room, and an unconscious Conan wheeled away in his chair, before being incinerated with a big grin on his face. <\/p>\n Article continues after ad<\/p>\n The sign on his door is then swapped out, with Conan replaced by \u2018Mr. Beast \u2013 Host for Life.\u2019 Which is likely a gag, but one that MrBeast himself clearly liked, as he posted a picture of said sign on X as soon as the sketch went live (see above).<\/p>\n Article continues after ad<\/p>\n While the skit itself is also a spot-on spoof of the One Battle After Another sequence in which Sean Penn\u2019s Colonel Lockjaw is killed. Jim Downey plays the man escorting both victims to their death, while Lockjaw \u2013 like O\u2019Brien \u2013 is poisoned in much the same way, and also in Suite 55.<\/p>\n Article continues after ad<\/p>\n For more Academy action, here\u2019s why Sean Penn didn\u2019t attend<\/a>, plus details of Diane Warren\u2019s depressing Oscars record<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MrBeast\u2019s name made a surprise appearance in a 2026 Oscars sketch, but don\u2019t expect him to replace Conan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-332560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
