The long search for an Oscar host is over, with an official announcement from the academy expected to come early Thursday morning. For the moment no one at AMPAS or involved with the production will confirm it--but according to three sources familiar with the process, the job of hosting the 78th Academy Awards will go to Jon Stewart, the Emmy-winning writer-host of "The Daily Show" and a host of the Grammy Awards in 2001 and 2002.
Good for Jon, I'm glad he's finally getting the respect he deservers.. "Ever seen the back of a twenty dollar bill man?" I don’t know… “Ever seen the back of a twenty dollar bill on weed man?” “There is some crazy **** there man, someone’s in the bushes man, RED TEAM GO, READ TEAM GO!!”
Next to politicians, Jon loves nothing more than to ridicule Hollywood. It should be very entertaining.
i just watched the colbert report, who used to be in jon's daily show but i guess he's got his own show now, and i must say he's really really good (in that one episode i watched). he interviewed dermott mulroney who acted in the movie 'the family stone' and it got real lols from me.
