James Christian Kimmel, your reputation precedes you.
00:05
Not in a good way.
00:06
Oh.
00:07
Jimmy Kimmel is prepping for hosting duties in a new promotional spot ahead of the 2023 Academy Awards.
00:14
Kimmel, who is back to host the event for the third time, debuted the spot during Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday,
00:19
which parodies a scene in Top Gun Maverick with Bo Cyclone Simpson, played by Jon Hamm,
00:25
and Solomon Warlock Bates, played by Charles Parnell.
00:27
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting to be asked to host again.
00:31
Well, let me be perfectly clear.
00:32
You were not my first choice, or my second choice, or my third, fourth, fifth, or eleventh choice.
00:39
The video pokes fun at last year's infamous moment involving Will Smith slapping presenter Chris Rock at the ceremony
00:45
that was co-hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.
00:49
ABC has tasked us with finding a host who is unflappable and unslappable.
00:54
Good. Oh, that's good, because I can't get slapped.
00:57
I cry a lot.
00:58
Kimmel also references the infamous 2017 Oscar ceremony that he hosted,
01:03
which is known for its mix-up of La La Land incorrectly being named Best Picture
01:08
before it was realized that Moonlight actually received the top prize.
01:12
And then I'll lead a standing ovation for someone old,
01:15
and if I make it out, there's only four or five hours left until we give Best Picture to hopefully the right movie.
01:21
What do you think?
01:21
The spot also features a hilarious cameo from nine-time Oscars host, Billy Crystal.
01:27
Listen, I've hosted this thing nine times, and I say give the kid a shot.
01:32
Oh, wait, you know, I've hosted twice before.
01:34
Really?
01:35
Yeah.
01:36
I didn't see it.
01:37
The 2023 Oscar ceremony airs live Sunday, March 12th on ABC.
01:43
