Conan O'Brien is preparing to host the Academy Awards as much of Los Angeles is still reeling from wildfires that ravaged parts of the city earlier this month.

Oscars host Conan O’Brien says he’s still unable to live in his home due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and that the show’s organizers “want to be sensitive to what’s happened” to residents.

The Hollywood Reporter caught up with the veteran comedian at Sundance where he touched down to promote his first film acting job with a role opposite Rose Byrne in an A24 dramatic thriller.
