The Oscars are going from no hosts to three this year.
On Monday, Variety reported that the Academy was currently finalizing details with Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes to jointly host this year’s Academy Awards, and the exciting news has now been confirmed.
Schumer joked on Tuesday’s “Good Morning America”, “I’m not sure who thought this was a good idea but I am hosting the Oscars, along with my good friend Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. I better go watch some movies.”
“GMA” also pointed out that the last trio to do the honours was Paul Hogan, Chevy Chase, and Goldie Hawn 35 years ago.
The wait is finally over! The #Oscars will have a triple dose of comedy from its three hosts this year:

Plans for how the awards ceremony will be structured are still under discussion, and a number of high profile stars have reportedly met with producer Will Packer in recent weeks.
“Mad Men” star Jon Hamm reportedly exited talks over the weekend. Schumer previously teased “big fun news comin” in an Instagram post on Sunday.
The decision to have hosts for this year’s Oscars comes after three years without any emcee, starting in 2019.
