Conan O'Brien, a well-known comedian, is set to host the Academy Awards this year. But it won't be easy, especially since the show follows the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Many people have different views about whether the Oscars should go ahead or not. O'Brien understands the situation well, as he himself had to evacuate his home due to the fires.

"I know it's tough, but I'm ready for the challenge, " O'Brien said. He believes it's important to be humble and recognize the tragedy that has hit Los Angeles. O'Brien is aware of the discussions online, where some people are politicizing the event. "It's not about politics, " he said. "It's a human tragedy. "

As a first-time host, O'Brien is trying to figure out the best way to handle the situation. He wants the show to be sensitive, understanding, and uplifting, all while being fun. He knows that the tone of the show could change until the very last minute.

In addition to hosting the Oscars, O'Brien is also promoting his new movie called "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, " which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. It's his first acting role in a movie, and he's excited to see how it turns out.

O'Brien found out about the movie role through a friend, and he quickly accepted it. "I was in a 'radical yes' phase, " he said. On the set, he learned that acting requires a lot of preparation and knowledge. He has a newfound respect for actors, especially after watching his co-star, Rose Byrne.
