While you’re talking to People Ahead of the event, he opened up about the possibility of hosting again in an article published Wednesday.
“I feel like the Kansas City Chiefs are going into this Oscars,” he gushed to the outlet. ‘Like you’ve been there before, but it doesn’t matter. It remains exciting and you still have to do well.’
Kimmel also revealed that he’s been trying to get fit for the big night, saying he’s just indulged in “sad salads and a lot of pathetic boxed meals delivered to my house.”
“We work really hard to make the show the best it can be,” Jimmy said, also giving a shout out to his wife and co-executive producer, Molly McNearney, and the entire team.
The star – who tied the knot with his wife in 2013 – said Molly “always comes into everything with a certain apprehension and feels the need to remind me of everything that comes with hosting the Oscars.”
‘Strangely enough, that actually makes me more inclined to do it. Maybe I’m just argumentative by nature. But I know what I’m getting into.’
Jimmy later added: “The big challenge is always trying to keep the show moving, so it’s a matter of picking your spot and coming in when you’re needed, and staying out of the picture when you’re not.”
“We have some really great films and great actors and performers. It’s tough, but I think we’ve figured it out the best we can.”
