Let's suggest some options

1) Billy Crystal- Duh!

2) Key & Peele- No matter what your opinion of them is, you can agree that they can do better than NPH.

Some other suggestions??

They need a comedian.

I was reading an article saying that the two greatest hosts in the last 20 years were Chris Rock and Jon Stewart.

They don't want Chris Rock back as he was too out there / offensive in his comedy.

Therefore get Jon Stewart back I would say.

I was watching the videos and Steve Martin was brilliant at it.

This show was terrible, they need safe hands of Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, Jon Stewart or Chris Rock next year to bring it back up as this year the ratings were a disaster.

NO, no more Billy Crystal. Do you want the show to go over by an hour because that's what happens with him.

I've been saying for the last few years that it NEEDS to be Jimmy Kimmel! He's a natural. Very sharp and unpredictable.
I'm scared they'd go with Jimmy Fallon instead though which would suck.

I vote Steve Martin.

Bill Cosby... ok, now seriously. I'd love to see John Oliver do it, but he's not a big enough name. I do agree that it should be a comedian.

I think Key & Peele would be great. I think Alec Baldwin should host.

Who the hell is Key and Peele?

[–] SamuelLJedi 9 years ago

Google it

[–] A_l_a_c_h_u_a_1 9 years ago

or, I can have a discussion on a message board. No *beep* that I could google it. I can also ask the question as it pertains to the subject at hand on a message board. If everyone googled everything, there wouldn't be much point of conversing on a message board in the first place, now would it. Because then you would just google to see what others thought about a topic you were interesting in, instead of going to a specific message board.

They are a comedy duo that have a show on Comedy Central in the US. They are experts at popular culture bro humor skits. And I'd rather sit through skits than singing and dancing.

Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, or Key and Peele. This one is a little less likely, but if he isn't nominated for anything, Kevin Spacey. He would make a great host!

What about Jim Carrey???

[–] aLGhAmDi48 9 years ago

Jim Carrey is like Robin Williams they could not stick to the script and they are not host material. However if he does it with a co-host it might work.
Also Stephen Colbert, IMO would be an excellent choice.

Jimmy Fallon.

[–] AllGot 9 years ago

NOOO Billy Crystal please! LoL The guy is great but NO. I loved when Ellen hosted...I also would love to see Jimmy Fallon over there, he's awesome. I'd say Wiig and Hader but they're more Golden Globes IMO.
