In a recent episode of his podcast, Conan O'Brien reflected on Adrien Brody's lengthy Oscar acceptance speech for "The Brutalist." O'Brien noted the importance of brevity in speeches, humorously sharing his urge to interject with a joke about the film's length. He described the speech as one of the longest in Oscar history, lasting nearly six minutes. O'Brien and his guest, Carol Leifer, remarked on the challenges of maintaining humor while delivering such long speeches at prestigious events like the Oscars.
"How to be funny if you're going to give a speech, the most important is length. I've witnessed someone get their laugh and then keep on going, and we're like, 'No, no.'"
"Just witnessed that when I was backstage at the Oscars. I so wanted to - but I thought, 'It's late in the day, don't be a d-k.'"
