In November, the Academy announced that Jimmy Kimmel will host the ceremony for the third time. “We felt like we needed someone who could definitely handle the show,” Academy president Janet Yang told THR on Nov. 16.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kimmel said he was “surprised” when he was asked to host.

“And it wasn’t one of those situations where they couldn’t get anybody and they asked me at the last minute — I definitely would have said no if that was the case,” he added. “So, I don’t know, it kind of came out of the blue and they clearly got me at the right moment. I did wait a week to tell my wife. I thought she might react negatively, but she was very positive, so I said, “OK, yeah, I’ll do it.”

The 2023 Oscars will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and will air live on ABC and in over 200 territories worldwide.
