When Jimmy Kimmel fronts Hollywood’s most significant event in the spring of 2014, it will be his third time hosting the Oscars.
The celebrity will be hoping for less commotion than the previous year when Will Smith smacked the host Chris Rock.
Before the Oscars spent three years without a host, Kimmel took over in 2017 and 2018, the year of the envelope gate scandal.

Kimmel got into trouble earlier this year when it was claimed that he stole Quinta Brunson’s thunder during the September Emmys event.
As part of a farce that started just before the presentation, he remained on the floor as Brunson spoke, pretended to be intoxicated, and presented the Abbott Elementary creator with the trophy for outstanding writing for a comedy series.
On his Jimmy Kimmel Live! how, he later apologized to Brunson for “taking your moment,” even though Brunson had handled it well.
