With the news that Kevin Hart was out as host of the Oscars less than a week after being named the search is on for a new host of this year’s Academy Awards.
Using my contacts in show business grifters and whores I have come up with a list of people who could be possible replacements. And so dear readers NSA sit back and enjoy this preview of who might be hosting the Academy Awards this March.
- Michael Moore
Pluses
As a former Academy Award winner Moore knows how important the Oscars are to Hollywood. He is also a fat, disgusting pig who hates America, keeping him in sync with core Hollywood values.
Minuses
The Academy needs to make money on the Oscars and let’s face it the bill alone from catering all the food Moore wants would put the show in the red.
- Roberto Benigni
Pluses
Also an Academy Award winner and will work for free. (See above and “Academy needs to make money”)
Minuses
Largely forgotten and no one will watch a show with him hosting. (See above and “Academy needs to make money.”)
- Wayne Brady
Pluses
He’s black, people! Come on let’s give him a hand!
Minuses
He’s not authentically black.
- Kirk Douglas
Pluses
At 102 he is the last remaining movie star from Hollywood’s golden era.
Minuses
He’s an old white man and if the Academy wanted to appeal to old white men it would hire Wayne Brady.
- Abraham Lincoln
Pluses
He freed the slaves!
Minuses
He was a Republican and rumored to be binary. Also: Dead
- God
Pluses
Being God and all-perfect and all-knowing he will not hand out the wrong envelopes during the live telecast.
Minuses
A Christian and will probably get all preachy and shit during the live telecast.
- Pete Best
Pluses
Can’t think of any but he’s probably pretty cheap to hire. (see “The Academy needs to make money.“)
Minuses
The Academy Awards is a live broadcast and Pete’s timing sucks. He’ll probably finish and go home a half hour before the show ends and then spend the rest of his life blaming Ringo.
And there you have it. No matter who hosts the show this year we can be sure of one thing: The show will really suck. Maybe if Hollywood wasn’t expending all its energy raping each other they’d be able to produce something that isn’t shit.

Whoa, Infidel, Pete Best!
Why is Michael Moore famous? I’ve never understood that.
Pete Forever! Ringo never!
