US presenter Jimmy Kimmel will host the Oscars for the third time

The US presenter Jimmy Kimmel (54) is scheduled to host the Oscar gala for the third time next year. Kimmel will moderate the 95th edition of the event, scheduled for March 12, 2023, the film academy announced on Monday. The presenter, who has his own late-night show on US television, previously hosted the Oscars in 2017 and 2018.

"Being invited a third time to host the Oscars is either an honor or a trap," Kimmel quipped. "But whatever the case, I'm grateful to the Academy for asking me - so soon after all the good guys canceled."

This year, for the first time in Academy Awards history, a trio of women hosted the show: actresses Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes. Previously, there had almost always been a celebrity host in the history of the Oscars - but in 2019, 2020 and 2021 there had been no host at all.

The record holder as an Oscar presenter is comedian Bob Hope, who died in 2003 and hosted 19 times. Billy Crystal did it nine times, Steve Martin three times. Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, Whoopi Goldberg and John Stewart, among others, have already moderated the gala.
