Kimmel also hosted the 95th Oscars at the Dolby Theatre last March and delivered a back-to-basics show that sought to celebrate a moviegoing rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic, earning an Emmy nomination for his stint.
The host and executive producer of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live also hosted the Oscars in both 2017 and 2018.
