Well, David Niven and this guy probably weren't bad.

Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall have been set to host the 94th Oscars, which is returning to an emcee format for the first time since 2018. Deadline confirmed the news Monday.

The search for host went through all kinds of manifestations. It has long been considered a thankless job, and that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. But last year’s host-less debacle made it clear they needed someone to center the telecast. The Academy first approached Dwayne Johnson, who took a pass. Entreaties to tandems like Pete Davidson and John Mulaney, and Steve Martin and Martin Short, also didn’t work. Davidson didn’t care for the experience cohosting New Year’s Eve with Miley Cyrus we hear, and Martin and Short conveniently have a stop on their comedy tour in Connecticut that night. Along the way, Oscarcast producer Will Packer shifted to a plan to have three pairs of hosts. Many were asked, but it looks like Sykes, Schumer and Hall will run solo, each hosting a leg of the telecast. Sources said a few dozen potential Oscarcast hosts were approached. Having multiple hosts removes the stigma of inevitable brickbats from being absorbed by one person.

Sykes and Schumer are edgy and bright stand up comediennes, and Hall has demonstrated comic timing as an actress.

.....Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall have been set to host the 94th Oscars....
Who are they?
We haven’t watched ANY “award show” for years, and aren’t going to re-start now!!!!
I know right?
Pathetic choices. They must REALLY not want anyone to watch.
Who is Oscar, and why are they televising his foursome?
Never. I was a lifelong Raiders fan since 1968 and finally switched allegiance about 5 years after the Seahawks came to Seattle, but would still root for the Raiders until they lost to Tampa Bay.
I will never forget the mismatched Super Bowl with the Patriots against the Bears. Utter humiliation.
Pathetic choices. They must REALLY not want anyone to watch.
Nobody does anyway.
I dunno. I’d PAY to watch it...if Trump hosted!
Will be worse than the Olympic viewership.
I can’t wait to not see it!............................
Funny but I don’t fully understand it.
Wanda Sykes is a lesbian Negro comedienne that isn’t funny.
Amy is Chuck Schumer’s niece, and she’s a fat slut that also isn’t funny.
Regina Hall was in a shitty spoof horror movie in 2000.
3 more reasons not to watch
Wanda Sykes was pretty funny before she became a dyke.The others? No thanks! I assure the sponsors that I won’t be tuned in.Sadly, I’ll be missing many,many ads for Audis,Mediterranean cruises and expensive diabetes meds.
Well, David Niven and this guy probably weren't bad.
That sounds like a real hootenanny.
A little corner of Hell.
Trump hosting LOL, I’d pay to see that too.
It would be him, a single cameraman, and a crapload of coffee carriers sitting in the back row to accept the awards for everyone, as suddenly they would all have root canals that day to attend to.
This articles summarizes the 2021 ratings for the Oscars.
Place your bets on how many more viewers the 2022 show will lose. I predict viewers will drop below 9 million this year.
I never heard of those hostesses. Are they famous for something?
