“Things could go right, they could go left, they could go sideways and you gotta be ready,” O’Brien said. “I think there are some things that I’ve planned that I really like that I’m proud of and could be good moments, but again, you’ve got to see it all on its feet. We are working on this thing up until the last minute and then throughout the show, it’s still in play.”
In the special, you can also watch Conan play a fun Oscars-centered game with On The Red Carpet’s George Pennacchio that’s sure to make you smile.

For the first time in 25 years, a new category has been added to the Oscars: Casting. The award recognizes casting directors and the work they do to help bring scripts to life. Jennifer Venditti is nominated for her role as casting director for “Marty Supreme.” She explains to George Pennacchio why she thinks her career is perfect for her.
“This work started for me being obsessed with people watching. I always say I’m like psyched to be on jury duty. I love the DMV. I love all the places that people hate,” Venditti muses.
