Jimmy Kimmel has worked as a television host and comedian for several years. Known for starring in Jimmy Kimmel Live, the comedian has also worked extensively as a host in several award ceremonies in Hollywood.
With the 96th Oscars Award ceremony on the horizon, Kimmel has been once again selected as the host of the show. This marks the fourth time the comedian has agreed to host the Oscars and fans are not at all happy with the decision!
Fans Are Unhappy With Jimmy Kimmel Hosting The Oscars…Again!
Although the world has come to know Jimmy Kimmel as a jolly comedian and the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the comedian has also hosted the Academy Awards several times over the years. With the recent announcement of Kimmel hosting the 96th Oscars, fans are not at all happy with this announcement.
With the 96th Oscars coming up in 2024, this will mark the fourth time Jimmy Kimmel will host the Oscars! Having previously hosted in 2017, 2018, and 2023, the comedian will once again return to host the Oscars and fans are already disappointed. Taking to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), fans expressed their opinions on why Kimmel shouldn’t be hosting the Oscars at all!
It used to be a very special and once in a lifetime opportunity to host the oscars. Now it’s just Kimmel with a boring script.

If ABC is wondering why the ratings keep plummeting then perhaps having the same host over and over isn’t helping

As the tweets continue to roll in, several fans are joking that Matt Damon has the best opportunity to do something funny as the feud between him and Kimmel hasn’t ended despite the years.
Matt Damon Absolutely Hates Jimmy Kimmel
With the actor recently starring in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the chances of Damon and Kimmel meeting at the Oscars are quite high. Having a feud from 2005, Damon had once revealed that he absolutely hates Jimmy Kimmel at a red carpet event of Air (via Pinkvilla).
“No, he’s an a**hole, I repeat. Why would I do that? He’s a terrible human being. He’s a demonstrably bad man.”
Having their feud over the years, Matt Damon has indeed got a golden opportunity to poke some fun at the late-night show host at the upcoming Oscars. The 96th Academy Awards are alleged to be televised live on 10th March 2024.
