to welcome to watchmojo.com going all
out and I’m gonna go hard
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re taking a look at
performers who seem like ideal
candidates to host the Academy Awards
we’re excluding any bears from this list
so sadly no Paddington you promised
number 10
Donald Glover few modern performers are
as versatile as Donald Glover not only
is he the star and creator of the Emmy
winning Atlanta but his musical
alter-ego childish gambino has become a
grammy favorite an oscar host needs to
be prepared for the unpredictable and
glover put his improvisation skills to
the ultimate test when Jamie Foxx
suddenly brought him onto the stage to
perform this is America at the 2018
honest glover himself is also something
of a wild card dressing up his Atlanta
character Teddy Perkins at the Emmy
Awards and hey since he landed the role
of Simba Glover’s Oscar hosting gig also
wouldn’t be complete without a musical
tribute to the Lion King
number 9 Justin Timberlake and Jimmy
Fallon
[Music]
the Oscars require a host who can work a
room with a live audience something that
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon both
do on a regular basis these two have
each one a pair of any awards for their
appearances on Saturday Night Live
Fallon is hosted the Emmys and the
Golden Globes while Timberlake commenced
the 89th Academy Awards with a
performance of can’t stop the feeling
Fallon and Timberlake share a wonderful
on-screen rapport frequently reuniting
on The Tonight Show four musical
performances and comedy bits
[Applause]
you don’t lick your boom-boom-boom down
you don’t so if you invite one to host
the Oscars it only makes sense to invite
the other as well number eight Melissa
McCarthy McCarthy has dominated every
facet of live entertainment winning a
Primetime Emmy for hosting SNL and
killing it during a lip-sync battle on
The Tonight Show known for her physical
comedy and boisterous personality
McCarthy would bring down the house as
an Oscar host I put out my sexuality
through motion when this starts going
it’s all you’ll get it given her tenure
as Sean Spicer she can also bring some
welcome political satire to the telecast
to begin today by apologizing on behalf
of you to me you have treated me these
last two weeks and that apology is not
accepted
aside from participating in various
award show bits over the years McCarthy
has the Hollywood shops starring in
blockbuster comedies and even stretching
her dramatic muscles seeing as how she’s
already been nominated for an Oscar
we’re sure the Academy would love to
have her back
get it number seven lin-manuel Miranda
charismatic while also being
down-to-earth
Miranda always feels right at home in
front of an audience between his work on
in the heights and Hamilton this
multi-talented entertainer has picked up
three Tony Awards
he’s also participated in some of the
most rousing Tony performances of the
past few years while his musical gifts
are rooted in Broadway Miranda recently
made the leap to Hollywood in addition
to getting in front of the camera with a
Golden Globe nominated performance in
Mary Poppins returns he scored his first
Oscar nomination for scribing how far
I’ll go from Moana Miranda is just an
Oscar away from eating and hosting the
number six Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Tina
and Amy are easily among the most
requested Oscar hosts outside of
co-anchoring Weekend Update this comedic
pair killed it as Golden Globe hosts for
three years in a row that’s what makes
tonight’s so special only at the Golden
Globes – the beautiful people of film
rubbed shoulders with the rat-faced
people of television with most award
shows the host is typically criticized
for either being too savage or too safe
fan Poehler never failed to find the
perfect balance however gravity is
this is
of how George Clooney would rather float
away into space and die than spend one
more minute with a woman his own age
their monologues are generally
light-hearted enough to appease everyone
but they aren’t afraid to spice things
up with edgy humor that’ll shock the
audience and break the internet
following the controversy over zero dark
thirty but when it comes to torture I
trust the lady who spent three years
married to James Cameron
although the duo claims to be done with
the Golden Globes we can only hope that
they’ll one day bring their talents to
the Oscars number five
Nick Kroll and John Mulaney this is the
only awards show that is a matte name
yes but it’s cool and indie so it’s a
matinee McConaughey Johnny you know what
he says all right okay sure
crawling Mulaney are another package
deal most notably creating the elderly
duo of george st. geegland and Gil
faizon in December 2018 it was announced
on the oh.hello shows Twitter account
that krola Mulaney had been asked to
host the Oscars and that they’d accepted
although this post was later revealed to
be a hoax the Academy should seriously
consider these two jokers as headliners
they’ve previously proven their ability
to carry an award show hilariously
hosting the Independent Spirit Awards
two years in a row Independent Spirit
sounds like the way you would compliment
someone who’s kind of hard to compliment
you know she’s got a really independent
spirit the idea of them hosting the
Oscars was praised as a stroke of genius
by Chris Pratt and he’s not the only one
who thinks so
number four Billy Eichner while not as
well-known as some of the other names on
this list
chances are you’ve seen this dynamically
eccentric comedian on TV or online maybe
he even ran up to you on the street to
yell at you about pop culture sir it’s
Debra Messing you gay what we can all
agree that Eichner sassy delivery and
willingness to ask brutal questions is a
recipe for comedy gold whereas most
award show hosts try to be unbiased
Eichner is famous for being critical and
opinionated exactly why he would be such
a fun fit for the Oscars miss would you
trust your children with katharine
McPhee
yeah no God no we could totally see
Billy throwing a fit about all the
movies that were snubbed and fanboying
in the presence of Meryl Streep number
three Dwayne the rock Johnson Kevin Hart
stepped down as the 2019 Academy Awards
host in the midst of controversy but
he’s not the only Jumanji star qualified
for the job
smoldering intensity the hell are you
doing the rock would not feel out of
place at the Oscars seeing as how he
previously co-hosted the big he’s also
captivated crowds as a host on SNL and
innumerable WWE events since the Academy
is constantly being pushed to appeal to
a wider demographic why not enlist one
of the world’s biggest box-office stars
plus if Johnson ever actually runs for
president of the United States there
isn’t a better platform to announce his
candidacy than on the Oscar stage right
I want to put this to rest and just say
once and for all
amen starting tonight I am running for
the President of the United States
number two
Tiffany Haddish considered by many to be
2017 s breakthrough star Haddish stole
the show in girl’s trip I drugs in my
booty
you know what that can cause a lot of
infection girl you can y’know infection
inhale booty ho it’s booty ho since then
she’s taken on hosting duties at the
2018 MTV movie and TV Awards and SNL in
the latter one her a Primetime Emmy
Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a
comedy series
how dish announced the 2018 Oscar
nominations with Andy Serkis and even
presented a couple of awards that year
alongside Maya Rudolph cracking up
audiences on both occasions naturally
asking Haddish to host the Oscars is the
next logical step just don’t ask her to
make a ton of costume changes because
Haddish wants to get as much use out of
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions this is
my third year in a row hosting the WGA
Awards thank you
just 97 more and I get syndication folks
when I was young
long story short I got shot out of a
cannon but I think that very far I what
about 50 but I landed wrong I got carpal
tunnel in both my legs instead you have
ended up with us a gay woman and a
Pakistani man or as Hollywood thinks of
us a straight woman and her IT guy
number one keegan-michael key and Jordan
Peele
ever since key and Peele wrapped up we
have been eager to see these two comedy
giants collaborate again in a big way we
can’t think of a better place for them
to stage a reunion then at the Academy
Awards throughout their incredibly funny
and incredibly successful sketch comedy
series key and Peele parodied numerous
film genres from horror to musical to
action let me just recap right now is
brainy gremlin spider gremlin back from
them baby
electricity gremlin Hulk Hogan’s don’t
be in the picture I’ll throw in a lemon
myself vegetable gremlin
as Oscar hosts they could do something
similar with all the nominated films and
of all the people on this list peel

an Oscar
