(Gray News) – Conan O’Brien’s parents have reportedly died within days of each other.

The Bell O’Dea Funeral Home shared obituaries for Dr. Thomas O’Brien and his wife Ruth O’Brien.

Conan O’Brien’s parents lived in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he was born and raised.

The 61-year-old is set to host the 2025 Academy Awards in March.

“For the rest of my time on earth, I will be hearing from people who want to talk with me about my dad,” The Boston Globe quoted Conan O’Brien in an interview earlier this month. “I’ve never met anyone like him, and he happens to be my father. If I met him randomly in a hotel lobby, I’d think, ‘Who the hell is this guy? He’s the most interesting person I’ve ever met.‘”
