Anthony Anderson ‘on shortlist’ of hosts after Jimmy Kimmel is no longer hosting Oscars
Anthony Anderson could add another significant hosting gig to his resume after several stars recently rejected the offer.
Anderson, 53, is known for various television roles, including starring in ABC’s Black-ish and NBC’s Law & Order and hosting Fox’s game show We Are Family.
Viewers saw Anderson as the Primetime Emmys host earlier this year, and several weeks ago, the actor stepped in as one of the guest hosts for ABC’s late-night program, Jimmy Kimmel Live!
He also hosted Kimmel’s show several years ago with his mother on the show alongside Kimmel’s regular sidekick, Guillermo.
Based on recent remarks from an insider, Anderson may be on the “shortlist” for yet another hosting job.
Not only that, but Kimmel may have also “privately endorsed” Anderson for the hosting role.
Kimmel has ‘endorsed’ Anderson as the next host
This week, two stars turned down the offer to host the next Academy Awards.
