Overview
A critic noted Conan O’Brien’s strong hosting amid a telecast marred by technical problems, praising moments that rescued the broadcast; his confirmation as host for 2027 gives producers another chance to build on his strengths. The upcoming move to the Peacock Theater and this year's sound, cutaway and direction issues are important considerations for avoiding repeat problems.
