The late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is all set to host the 95th Academy Awards in 2023, on March 12.
According to Variety, Kimmel’s return was announced Monday by Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner, the executive producers and showrunners behind the Academy Awards. The Jimmy Kimmel Live host previously led the 2017 and 2018 telecasts.
“Being invited to host the Oscars for a third time is either a great honor or a trap,” Kimmel said in a statement. “Either way, I am grateful to the Academy for asking me so quickly after everyone good said no.” As per the report, Kimmel’s Oscars return comes as the host recently extended his deal to continue at ABC for at least three more years, through the 23rd season of his talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
“We’re super thrilled to have Jimmy score his hat trick on this global stage,” Weiss and Kirshner said in a joint statement. “We know he will be funny and ready for anything.” Prior to the Kimmel, Jerry Lewis, Steve Martin, Conrad Nagel, and David Niven have hosted the Oscar ceremony thrice.
Meanwhile, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences also announced the news on Monday, 7 November. Taking to social media, the official page for The Academy wrote, “Introducing your 95th Academy Awards host, Jimmy Kimmel. Welcome back! Tune into ABC to watch the Oscars LIVE on Sunday, March 12th at 8e/5p! #Oscars95.”
