Best Oscar Hosts All-Time

Bob HopeBob Hope hosted the Oscars 14 times during his lifetime. Never divisive, always funny and professional he was always a safe bet by the

academy.

Johnny Carson

Universally well-loved, it’s no surprise he killed it at the Academy Awards when he

hosted from 1979 - 1984

Billy CrystalIn a 22 year span, Billy Crystal hosted the Oscars a total

of nine times, making him a shoe-in for this list

Ellen Degeneres

Ellen hosted the awards in both 2007 and 2014. 2014 appearance

was very well received by audiences

Steve MartinSteve hosted three times so far, and was as silly as ever to the delight of those present.

Hugh Jackman

Many hosts are hurtful, but Hugh Jackman was pure class and energy when he hosted

in 2009.

Jon StewartJon Stewart was good enough in 2006 that they invited him

back in 2008 where again he pleased with cutting humor

Seth McFarlane

Seth MacFarlane is known for making controversial jokes, so its not surprising he divided the audience in love and

hate categories

Robin WilliamsIn 1986 Robin Williams hosted the awards. His high-energy and mixed sense of humor

was popular but he never hosted again.

Richard Pryor

Another one and out, Richard Pryor was one of the most prolific comics in 1983 when he

hosted the awards.
