“Go have a good time. Don’t read anything, stay away from all the internet, don’t read it two days before, and don’t read it two days after,” the actress told Schumer. “Everybody thinks it’s the easiest job in the world, and it’s not. If you have a good time, they’ll have a good time.”
Schumer agreed with the sentiment, adding, “It’s a big party, right? That’s why I wanted to do it.”
Goldberg has previously hosted the awards show four times: in 1994, 1996, 1999, and 2002.
The 94th Academy Awards will be the first time the show will have hosts in the last 3 years. Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall will be hosting alongside Schumer.
