Always nice to see Nick DiPaolo get some work

 

[Battersea Power Station]

I can't wait to hear him complain about how the audience was too offended.

 

[ohlawd]

I hope he does that bit like he did last time he hosted where he goes and interviews moviegoers.
That was the best.

damn right White Chicks got robbed

Chappelle is still legit shook.

I don't see what's wrong here. He looks at Chappelle, sees that he's looking away, then goes for the other handshake instead since he's looking at him. Chappelle turns away afterwards, so there's no hand to shake. It only looks bad because he has sunglasses on and you can't read explicit eye movements.

Ricky Gervais? I heard he has hosted other shows (emmys / golden globes) but that he is banned? Surely Rock is more dirty than Gervais!?

YEEEEEEESSS

I've been watching so many of his talk show appearances and sets on YouTube recently. Dude is hilarious. Id say the best living black comedian tbh

I hope he keeps it real. His monologue on SNL did not shy from controversy

Last time he hosted oscars it was pretty damn funny.

I'll actually tune in to the opening for the first time in years

He is the best only because Patrice isn't here anymore

This is a fucking great choice. Rock is one of the funniest guys around and is just naturally hilarious. Has the right amount of charisma too.

I don't think there was any slight either, was just a notable moment at the carpet arrival.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

I'm okay with this. Rock is pretty enjoyable pretty much any time.

 

[Frog-fu]

Cool. Chris Rock is awesome.

Would've still preferred Eddie Murphy or Dave Chappelle though.

Maybe everyone realized he isn't funny

The thing about Kevin Hart is that he is hilarious - when he puts in the effort to write his best stuff.

He just realised he doesn't have to. He can dial it back and reach more people by doing so.

 

[Dabanton]

Good choice. Don't let age fool you Chris Rock is still viciously cutting.

I do like it when they get someone who's a little less fawning of the process Seth Macfarlane was uncomfortably good. The way an awards show should be. Have someone regular pierce the self righteous atmosphere in the room.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

If we can get him to think this is the BET awards instead of the Oscars, he'd be 200% funnier, at least.

 

[PillarEN]

But will college students be able to survive? I'm incredibly concerned.

I found his first hosting gig to be awkward and uncomfortable for long stretches of the show. I hope he finds his rhythm here and connects with the crowd on some level.
