O’Brien said he was in a meeting about his upcoming gig as the host of the Oscars when he got a call from his wife Liza about seeing "some smoke"

Sona Movsesian, Conan O'Brien's assistant and a longtime comic character in her own right, posted that the Los Angeles fires claimed her home in Altadena.

O'Brien, who moves to L.A. from Massachusetts, opened up about what he and his wife went through during the course of the Los Angeles wildfires, which are still ongoing. He said that they were evacuated and displaced from their home, staying at a hotel in the meantime.

Conan O’Brien, impacted by wildfires, has confirmed the Oscars are being organised with a focus on sensitivity and care.

"I am honored to be the first winner of the Mark Twain Prize recognized not for humor," O'Brien said in a statement, "but for my work as a riverboat pilot”

Comedian and host Conan O’Brien is the newest recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement in comedy.
