Page Six that Pete is being eyed for the gig. "His people are talking to producers," the source said, adding that the show is looking for a "reset."The Oscars has long hoped to bring in a younger demographic, and there's belief that Pete can do that, as the New Year's Eve special he hosted with Miley Cyrus for NBC brought in 6.3 million viewers."He gets a demographic that is hard to get," the source said. "He is in a good space, his career is doing well and he is on the rise. He is a sex symbol, unlikely, but he is big with a certain generation."Pete, Page Six points out, has previously worked with Will Packer, who is producing the Oscars in late March.
