Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is set to host the Oscars again in March, completing a trilogy that began with him presiding over the chaotic award ceremony.
“To be invited to host the Oscars for the third time is either a great honor or a trap,” Kimmel said. “Either way, I’m grateful to the Academy for asking me so quickly after all the good guys said no.”
“Jimmy is the perfect host for our 95th installment. His love of movies, his experience in live television and his ability to connect with global audiences will create an unforgettable experience for our millions of viewers around the world,” said the Academy of Hollywood when making the announcement this Monday.
