Mal from the Joe Budden Podcast said this would happen. :ohh:

basically he said they didn't have time to find a new host. If I was Kevin I'd still turn it down. It's and overrated gig.

Yep its not worth it. Basically the oscars called ellen to do a favor and holla at her friend kevin.

But in the end kevin got the most to lose. I say fukk them and move on. Unless he is placed in a rock and a hard spot where the big wigs say do the oscars or else you done in this industry.

Read an article a while back that they were having trouble finding a host in the first place and he wasn't even their first choice. Looks like that's true.

Wonder why nobody wants to host. I don't watch awards shows. shyt ain't poppin?

For a minute, we were about to see an OUTDATED Eddie Murphy or Indya Moore (new Pose star great actress no shade as host) hosting The Oscars. The Oscars SOLIDIFIES your legacy. I'd rather have Kevin Hart as The Oscars host than Tiffany Haddish any day of the week :scusthov:
Aside from his recent movies, Eddie is still a funny ass guy. His humor and wit is on point.

If you watch everything he said was real shyt

Exactly.

IMO he shouldn't do it because like he said the LGBTs have shifted the discussion away from what was supposed to be a dream of his and an opportunity to make it fun. No matter what, if he does it the talk will STILL be about the LGBTs more than himself/the Oscars, and he'll be under heavy scrutiny. No matter what the atmosphere will be "dark" like he said, while it was supposed to be a nice moment. Also personally I don't want to see Ellen be some kind of "white saviour" for him. I understand it's a huge deal but might be better to cut his losses and move on.
