The comedian, who previously wrote for The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live, will present the awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on 2 March.
Conan O’Brien has been announced as the host of next year’s Oscars.
It’s the Emmy Award-winning comedian’s first time heading up the ceremony, which is Hollywood’s most high-profile showbiz event.
«America demanded it and now it’s happening: Taco Bell’s new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In other news, I’m hosting the Oscars», O’Brien said in a statement.
He also shared a spoof short video on social media, showing him clasping an Oscar statuette and thanking the Academy for his Oscar, before clarifying he was hosting the show rather than receiving an award.
