The anniversary special isn’t the only big project Kimmel has been focusing on as of late. In a few months, he will be returning to host the Oscars for a third time.
‘Being invited to host the Oscars for a third time is either a great honor or a trap,’ Kimmel said. ‘Either way, I am grateful to the academy for asking me so quickly after everyone good said no.’
‘We’re super thrilled to have Jimmy score his hat trick on this global stage,’ executive producers and showrunners Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner said in a joint statement. ‘We know he will be funny and ready for anything!’
