A strange choice to host the Oscars.

I think they wanted to take the politics down a bit with his choice.

I always knew he would host the Oscar's one day, just maybe a decade (or two) before.

Same with Jay Leno, was always surprised to see him not hosting the Oscars.

Great choice. Guys like Jimmy Kimmel are insufferable.

Bad choice if they want to tone down the politics. Conan sucks and he's also another virtue signaling liberal. Never forget the Haiti stunt he pulled.

But nobody remembers that.

Still can't figure out how Jay Leno never hosted the Oscars in the 90's or 2000's or 2010's.

They probably never asked him - not edgy enough for them.

I bet they did.

The man ruled airwaves for 20 years.
