The 2026 Oscars are here, and while there have been ways to stream the Academy Awards for some time, the future will be a bit different. Beginning in 2029, the show will exclusively move to YouTube. And of course, host Conan O'Brien and the writers had to put in a joke about it.
Jane Lynch had a special cameo appearance in a skit that mimicked the ad placement in YouTube videos. She first appeared advertising a tactical flashlight, allegedly the same one that "killed Bin Laden." After Conan briefly returned, Lynch interrupted again, appearing as an attorney spreading the word about a class action suit against the people selling the tactical flashlight. Quite a fun moment for Lynch, who was not on the list of 2026 Oscars nominees.
