Chris Rock won’t host Oscars
From the AP:
Chris Rock won’t be back cracking wise as the host of next year’s Oscars telecast. “He is not hosting the Academy Awards,” the comedian’s publicist, Matt Labov, said Friday in a brief statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. He did not elaborate.
Labov told The New York Times that Rock didn’t want to do the show “in perpetuity” but would “like to do it again down the road.”
…
Frequently mentioned candidates include four-time host Whoopi Goldberg, two-timer Steve Martin and late-night hosts Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien.
The 78th annual Academy Awards will air March 5 on ABC from Hollywood.
If it really was his decision, it’s a smart move on Rock’s part. I’m betting they go with Conan…

CONAN! CONAN! CONAN! Leno hasn’t been funny since he took over “Tonight” back in the ’30s Whoopi is just a bunch of costume changes with nothing underneath. Steve Martin is nice if you want to talk art, but he’s just way too smart for the audience there at the Kodak Theater — but he won’t let them know that. My dream host: Tina Fay. She’d put ‘em all in their places.
