No, Pete Davidson Is Not Hosting The Oscars, But The “Only Murders In The Building” Trio Are Being Considered
The Oscars are scheduled to go down on March 22 (the nominations will be announced on February 8), and after going three years without a host, they have decided that this year’s ceremony will have one. The Academy “hypothetically” asked the people for their hosting ideas (the only correct answers being Charo & Dolly and Statler & Waldorf obviously), but there was a rumor that they were thinking of giving Pete Davidson the hosting job to bring in the youth. Judging by last year’s dried turd ratings, which were lower than my willpower in front of a box of See’s Candies, those tricks should focus on getting ANYBODY to watch.
But Pimp Mama Kris is not going to skyrocket into the universe after busting a geyser of excitement from seeing her #2 Koven member sitting in the front row at the Oscars between Nicole Kidman and Denzel Washington, because although Pete was briefly considered, he isn’t going to get the gig. And Variety says that the Oscars people have gone from Only Desperation In The Building by considering Pete to putting the stars of Only Murders In The Building, Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, at the top of their wish list.
Stormy Daniels Made A Surprise Appearance On “Saturday Night Live” Last Night
Porn star and presidential irritant Stormy Daniels popped up during the cold open on Saturday Night Live last night. Stormy is POTUS’ current least favorite person and SNL knows that there’s nothing in the world more funzies than pissing off our humorless egomaniac of a president. So they had her pop up during a Trump sketch amidst a cavalcade of guest stars including Ben Stiller as Trump’s praying-for-death attorney Michael Cohen, Martin Short as Trump’s ethically challenged (and crazy as hell) physician Dr. Harold Bornstein, Scarlett Johansson reprising her Ivanka Trump, and Jimmy Fallon as Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner. SNL’s MVP Kate McKinnon also debuted a startlingly accurate impression of gabby Trump hanger-on Rudy Guiliani, who continues to deplete all of the goodwill he inspired during 9/11.
