The 89th Oscars will be produced by Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd for ABC, which also airs Kimmel’s talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Jimmy Kimmel will host the 89th Academy Awards next February, Variety reports.
Although Kimmel received good reviews for his most recent Emmys hosting gig in September, the ceremony’s ratings fell to an all-time low of 11.3 million viewers.
Kimmel has previously hosted the Emmys in 2016 and 2012, as well as the 2007 ESPYs and the American Music Awards on five separate occasions.
