Jon Stewart to host Oscarcast 2008
The New York Times is reporting that Jon Stewart will host the 80th annual Oscar ceremony next year, despite mixed reviews and middling ratings for his first outing (but then, you can’t blame the ratings on Jon when “Crash” was the movie that was named Best Picture).
Well, it certainly beats Ryan Seacrest. And Stewart got better as the show progressed.
And at least you know kinda sorta what you’re getting with Stewart, as opposed to Stephen Colbert, whose Washington Correspondents Dinner performance offended its target audience.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
