Conan O'Brien is hosting the 2025 Oscars, and his Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast co-hosts, Sona Movsesian and Matt Gourley, want in.

In the clip above O'Brien sees what they can offer him, quickly dismissing Gourley before agreeing to give Movsesian "the first 40 minutes" of the show to do some different accents.

"I'm pretty sure I don't have to clear this with anybody at the Academy," O'Brien says. "My feeling is they gave me the keys to the whole show, that's my guess. So I guess what I say goes. So you're going to be the first 40 minutes."
