Will Conan O'Brien return to host the Oscars? Comedian's fate sealed by exec after string of risky jokes


Throughout the star-studded evening, Conan ticked audiences with a series of outrageous jokes - including a reference to Kendrick Lamar and Drake's feud.

In one particularly outrageous moment, he poked fun at Emilia Perez star Karla Sofia Gascon's social media scandal, in which she made controversial remarks on such subjects as George Floyd and Islam. At this, Karla Sofia feigned a smile as she placed her hands together in a prayer gesture while making her return to the awards circuit amid the controversy.
