THE EDWARD R. MURROW OF COMEDY EMCEES THE OSCARS®!When do the news hairshirts start complaining he shouldn't be doing entertainment?
An apt choice, though: the emcee -- ANCHORMAN of a CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED NEWS SHOW with a small audience doing an award show for CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED MOVIES with small audiences.
And can anyone imagine if
THE KNIGHTING OF ST. EDWARD won the coveted BEST-PICTURE AWARD? The ED of comedy would be working on his.
Let's hope he pulls the same Peabody®-Award winning job he pulled on the rag publishers.
The new host will also use some of his own "Daily Show" writers to help with material.TRANSLATION: They're reserving a hundred rooms in the Beverly Hilton. If they won the Emmy® they'd have to devote half the program to his writers.
