John Mulaney has confirmed he will not host the 2025 Oscars, despite speculation from fans after his successful appearance at the 2024 awards. In an interview with Vulture, Mulaney stated, "I’m not doing that" and emphasized he has already declined the offer. Meanwhile, Steve Martin also ruled out hosting again, citing the significant workload and lack of financial compensation as deterrents. Martin, who has hosted the Oscars three times before, expressed his reluctance to take on the role again, saying it represents a lot of work and they don't pay. He humorously referred to the Oscars as a 'thankless' job, comparing it to the Golden Globes, which do offer payment to hosts. With both Mulaney and Kimmel declining the gig, the Oscars producers face a challenge in finding a suitable host for the upcoming ceremony.
