As Conan O’Brien prepares to kick off the 97th Academy Awards as a first-time host, his friends in late-night are rooting for him.

Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the last two years’ Oscars, had help from a different Oscar as he wished his pal good luck in hosting Sunday night’s awards show at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, airing at 7pm ET/4pm PT on ABC and streaming live on Hulu.

“Happy Oscars Sunday!” he captioned a photo of himself with Sesame Street‘s Oscar the Grouch during a recent Jimmy Kimmel Live sketch.
