Nick Offerman Debuts as 2025 Oscars Announcer

The 'Parks and Recreation' star lends his distinct voice to the Academy Awards, a role once held by Ronald Reagan.

Nick Offerman, widely recognized for his role as Ron Swanson on 'Parks and Recreation,' serves as the announcer for the 97th Academy Awards.
This marks Offerman's first time as the Oscars announcer, taking over from last year's announcer, David Alan Grier.
The announcer role was first introduced in 1953 during the Oscars' first televised ceremony, with future U.S. president Ronald Reagan as the inaugural announcer.
Offerman's voice is familiar to many from his roles in acclaimed projects like HBO's 'The Last of Us,' 'Devs,' and various animated films and series.
The 2025 Oscars, hosted by Conan O'Brien, feature a star-studded lineup of presenters, including Selena Gomez, Willem Dafoe, and Halle Berry.
