Jimmy Kimmel is set to host the 96th Academy Awards, marking the fourth time and second straight year that the Jimmy Kimmel Live! mainstay has accepted the gig. The ceremony is March 10 on ABC.
Along with emceeing Hollywood’s Biggest Night this past March, he also hosted in 2017 and 2018. After the latter show drew then-record low ratings, the broadcast went hostless in 2019, 2020, and 2021, when the Oscars were heavily pandemic-affected and stripped down, drawing the lowest ratings ever.

Kimmel is the answer to a unique Oscar trivia question: He presided over the infamous “envelope-gate” show in 2017, when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were handed the wrong envelope and announced La La Landas the Best Picture winner, only to embarrassingly be corrected when one of that film’s producers grabbed the correct envelope to reveal there had been a mistake and Moonlight was the actual winner. It was pure mayhem and Kimmel was right there on stage in the middle of it all. He was back the next year, however, as were Beatty and Dunaway to present Best Picture again.
Kimmel and his fellow late-night hosts were sidelined during the WGA strike, but his ABC show led the way in viewership when the shows returned last month. Jimmy Kimmel Live! posted its highest-rated season opener in six years upon its October 2 return. He has fronted the late-night talker since its 2003 launch.
