Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney declined offers to host 2025 Academy Awards.
Kimmel has hosted the Oscars four times previously.
Mulaney was a fan-favorite after presenting at and hosting Governor's Awards in 2024.
The 2025 Academy Awards will not be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel or John Mulaney. Both comedians declined offers from ABC to emcee the event, according to multiple reports.
Kimmel, who has hosted the Oscars four times previously, was an expected contender for the gig due to his past success with the ceremony. However, he declined earlier this summer and will not be returning as host in 2025.
Mulaney, on the other hand, had become a fan-favorite to take up the mantle after memorably presenting at this year's show and hosting the Governor's Awards. However, his busy schedule with several upcoming projects and a potentially renewed talk show on Netflix prevented him from accepting the offer.
The Academy has yet to announce a replacement host for the 2025 Oscars, which will be held on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. The decline of Kimmel and Mulaney comes after Regina Hall, Wanda Sykes, and Amy Schumer co-hosted the ceremony in 2023.
John Mulaney was considered as a replacement for Kimmel but he is already committed to several projects and Netflix might pick up more of his talk show.

The author makes an appeal to authority by mentioning that Jimmy Kimmel has already hosted the Academy Awards four times and is part of the Disney family. This suggests that his decision not to host again was surprising or notable. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction in describing John Mulaney as a 'sexy' but 'risky' choice for host, implying that there are only two types of potential hosts: those who will bring glamour and those who won't. No explicit fallacies were found in direct quotes, but the nature of the article suggests an underlying assumption that certain hosts are more desirable than others based on their popularity or perceived risk.

The author makes several statements without providing any fallacious reasoning. However, there are a few instances of appeals to authority and potential for dichotomous depictions. The author states that 'Bill Kramer, Academy CEO, shared his praise about Kimmel and the possibility of Mulaney if he were to join the telecast.' This is an appeal to authority as the author is quoting the opinion of another individual without providing any evidence or reasoning as to why this opinion should be trusted. Additionally, in describing this year's award contenders, the author states 'The 97th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 2.' This statement could potentially create a dichotomous depiction by implying that there are only two types of films or individuals that will be recognized at the awards - blockbuster films and massive star power. However, this is not explicitly stated and the author does mention other types of contenders as well.
