Jon Stewart will host the Oscars again next year for the second time. Tough gig. Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, and many others have hosted the Oscars throughout the years. Billy is a tough act to follow. He's my favorite.

A couple of years ago, the agent for Jon Stewart was shopping him around to do a standup gig at our theater. Price for one show back then was $50,000. We were willing to pay that, but he hates to fly so we couldn't get him down in time by car with all his other activities scheduled.

I'm not a big fan of him personally, too political for me, but he sells tickets. I have to believe his price tag now for one-night standup gigs is over $100,000 easy. For all the news on this announcement, check out the link to Variety below.
