Hollywood, California – The search for a host for the upcoming Oscars ceremony is on as both Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney have declined the opportunity, leaving ABC in a bit of a bind. Kimmel, who has hosted the prestigious event for the past two years, made his decision prior to his summer break from “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Meanwhile, Mulaney, fresh off his critically acclaimed show “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s In LA,” also turned down the offer.
The decision by both Kimmel and Mulaney has left ABC scrambling to find a suitable replacement for the Oscars, set to air on March 2. Kimmel, known for his role as a host for The Walt Disney Company on previous occasions, has been a consistent face at the Oscars and Emmys over the years. In the meantime, ABC is still in search of a host for the upcoming Emmys ceremony scheduled to air on September 15.
Mulaney, known for his unique comedic style, has been working on various projects, including stand-up dates and other endeavors, which may have influenced his decision to decline the hosting offer. While his show was well-received by critics, it did not receive the recognition he may have hoped for in major award conversations.

The choice of host plays a crucial role in setting the tone for the evening, as they are tasked with entertaining and engaging the audience throughout the show.
