Jimmy Kimmel to Host the Oscars Again Next Year

He's back! Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the 2018 Oscars, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced on Tuesday, May 16.

The comedian's return will mark the first time that the Academy will have the same host for two years in a row since Billy Crystal helmed the 1997 and 1998 ceremonies. Producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd will also return for the 2018 show.

"Hosting the Oscars was a highlight of my career," Kimmel, 49, said in a statement, via CNN. "If you think we screwed up the ending this year, wait until you see what we have planned for the 90th anniversary show!"
