Well, unless you’ve somehow been living in a cave for the past 10 years or so, I guess the picture pretty much gives it away.

I have nothing against Ellen DeGeneres due to her personal life or any nonprofessional reason, but I must say I’m very happy she’s not returning for the Oscars that year. possibly it’s just that I’m such a cynical (fairly) old dude, but she’s just way too cheerful for me, and whether I’m gonna watch a night of celebrity ass-kissing I’d prefer it with a wit more acerbic than hers.

And so, re-enter Jon Stewart, who hosted the Oscars broadcast in 2006 and, according to the New York Times at least, will be returning as host for the next show Feb. 24.

Given his fairly

rocky performance the first go-round, I was a little surprised by that news, but in terms of a big star who appeals to citizens who would usually just tune out the Oscars, you can’t get a better name. And, as anyone who watches “The Daily Show” even occasionally knows, Stewart is one seriously funny guy.

Please feel free to let me know what you think, and as further proof (if it’s needed) that Jon Stewart is a comedy god, enjoy that YouTube clip of him being analyzed by the late Dr. Katz. Extremely short post today considering I’ve just been switched to a four-day, 10-hour-per-day work week. I’m not complaining, believe me, but it’s gonna take some getting used to. Peace out.
