I'm so excited. Hopefully he'll be good. I often feel like Oscar hosts are just mean and take cheap shots, but I think Jon Stewart will be funny without resorting to that.
I have a huge oscar bash every year and it's SO much more fun when there's a good host. I haven't been this excited since Steve Martin did it. (Though even Jon can't compare to Steve.)

He was great in The Faculty. Actually he was the only good part of that movie...
Have I ever mentioned I bartended with Jon at a dive, punk rock club in Trenton NJ in the early 80's? He lived in Lawrenceville, NJ for a good many years.
He was hilarious then and we have kept in touch throughout all these years. I am excited for him, he will be a great host and I am thrilled for him. Its so cool to see a local boy really succeed.

Ally, that is so cool! What a thrill to see a friend doing so well. He seems like he would be a really nice, fun guy.
