The Annual Show? Jon Stewart Reprises Oscar Role

  • September 13, 2007
Comedy Central's Jon Stewart will be back for a second go-round as host of the Oscars this February, ABC said. Stewart hosted the awards two years ago, the 78th version. ABC will once again air the Academy Awards on Feb. 24. "He is smart, quick, funny, loves movies and is a great guy. What else could one ask for?" said producer Gil Cates. Expect a healthy dose of political banter during the telecast from the "Daily Show" host in a presidential election year.
