Late-night talk show legend Conan O’Brien has suffered a profound loss with the passing of both his parents within a week.
His mother, Ruth Reardon O’Brien, passed away at 92 on December 12th. His father, renowned physician Dr. Thomas O’Brien, died three days earlier at 95.
Conan remembers his father as an avid learner and lover of comedy, who introduced his children to the likes of Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers. “He was often the funniest guy in the room,” Conan said.
Ruth O’Brien was a successful attorney, the second woman to make partner at a prestigious Boston law firm. Her son Justin recalls her fondness for attending reunions, where she enjoyed meeting and connecting with others.
A funeral mass for both parents will be held in Boston on December 18th.
Despite this tragedy, Conan prepares to host the upcoming Academy Awards, a testament to his resilience and professionalism.
