Conan O’Brien hosted this year’s Academy Awards and he has revealed some golden ideas he and his writer weren’t allowed to execute. In an episode of his “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast, O’Brien and Mike Sweeney, who served as his head writer for the Oscars, discussed some behind-the-scenes moments from the recent event.

The first-time host dished behind-the-scenes dirt during an episode of SiriusXM's 'Conan Needs a Friend,' including his backstage encounter with Mick Jagger and the thing he'll miss most about hosting.

Conan O’Brien and his Oscars head writer Mike Sweeney revealed on the former’s podcast that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences refused to let them put clothes on an Oscar or have it presented horizontally.
