Kimmel joked he's happy to accept hosting duties "after everyone good said no." The Academy may also have in mind that he has experience handling an on-air disaster should anything like the Will Smith slap happen again, as Kimmel hosted in 2017 when the wrong Best Picture winner was announced. In August, Chris Rock confirmed he was asked to host the 2023 Oscars, which could help boost ratings in the wake of the slap, but turned it down. Now, the Academy has returned to having a single host, though seemingly not with its first choice. Some also criticized the three hosts for not addressing Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on stage immediately after it happened, and Kimmel said "one of the drawbacks of having three hosts" was it "wasn't clear who should go out there and handle it." Viewership went up, but the 2022 ceremony still draw its second smallest audience ever. Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes hosted earlier this year, and the hope was they could appeal to different demographics and increase the audience.
