Fresh off hosting the 2026 Oscars, Conan O’Brien had one more performance to give, and this time the subject was marriage. 

Speaking at Vanity Fair‘s annual post-Oscars party alongside his wife Liza Powel O’Brien, the comedian, 62, shared the unlikely secret behind nearly 25 years of wedded bliss: separate bathrooms.

“We were saved because we moved into a house that had a bathroom for me and a bathroom for you,” he told Vanity Fair. 

“I think that really saves [a relationship].” 

He has been married to Liza since 2002, and he wasn’t shy about doubling down on his theory. “They say that goes a long way to perpetuating a marriage,” he added. “I think that’s key, very key.”

Liza, 55, gave the claim her own understated seal of approval. 

“I don’t dislike it,” she said, which Conan immediately translated for the room. “You don’t dislike it, which means that’s two negatives. She likes it!”

The pair met in 1999 when Liza was working as a copywriter at an advertising agency, and Conan came in to film a segment for Late Night with Conan O’Brien about the worst advertisers. 

He was, by his own account, immediately gone. “Somewhere, in the vault at NBC, there’s footage of me literally falling for my wife on camera,” he told Piers Morgan in 2012.

United States (U.S.) President Donald Trump’s billionaire adviser and his Artificial Intelligence (AI) czar, David Sacks, has broken with the president over the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.

Sacks, who is considered a close ally of the U.S. Vice President JD Vance, expressed his opinion regarding the ongoing conflict in the Middle East during his appearance on the All-In-One podcast.

The 54-year-old South African-American entrepreneur warned that in case Israel gets “seriously destroyed”, which he said remains a possibility, it might escalate war to the use of nuclear weapons.

He said that since the U.S. has almost obliterated the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic, “we need to find an off ramp to end the conflict.”

He advised President Trump, saying, “This is a good time to declare victory and get out.”

The White House confidante said the government needs to find ways to de-escalate the conflict, which could include some sort of ceasefire agreement or negotiation settlement with Iran.

Sacks’ opinion aligns with VP Vance’s reported position on the war, who has declined to publicly detail his position on the conflict. Trump admitted that Vance was “less enthusiastic” about the conflict.

Sacks, co-author of The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and the Politics of Intolerance, donated about $1 million to a super PAC backing Vance’s Ohio Senate campaign in 2022

The documentary “All the Empty Rooms,” which memorialized children killed in school shootings through a look at the bedrooms they never returned to, took home the Oscar for Best Documentary Short at the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday.

The film follows CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp along their seven-year journey to document the toll of America’s school shooting epidemic. Director Joshua Seftel accepted the Oscar on stage alongside Hartman, producer Conall Jones and Gloria Cazares, whose daughter Jackie was killed in the Uvalde school shooting in 2022.

“The four empty rooms in our film belonged to four young children who were all killed in school shootings: Hallie, Gracie, Dominic and Jackie,” Seftel told the crowd before passing the mic to Cazares.

Wearing a red dress and a pin with an image of Jackie, Cazares spoke of her 9-year-old daughter and appealed for an end to gun violence.

“Since that day, her bedroom has been frozen in time,” Cazares said. “Jackie is more than just a headline. She is our light and our life. Gun violence is now the number one cause of death in kids and teens. We believe that if the world could see their empty bedrooms, we’d be a different America.”

When Hartman traveled to Uvalde, Texas, where a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School, Cazares told him that people are always telling her that they can’t imagine what she’s going through. But she said we need to imagine, and that’s why she invited Hartman and Bopp into her home.

“It just makes everything more real for the public, for the world,” Carazes said at the time. “Her room completely just speaks of who she was.”

In Jackie’s room, there was the chocolate she had saved for a day that never came, and an “About Me” chalkboard where she wrote that she wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up.

Many of the children’s rooms, like Jackie’s, remained virtually untouched, years after the shootings. 

“Their personalities shone through in the smallest details of their untouched rooms — hair ties on a doorknob, a toothpaste tube left uncapped, a ripped ticket for a school event — allowing me to uncover glimpses as to who they were,” Bopp said in an essay about the project in 2024.
