Adam Sandler on Hosting Oscars: “I See No Happiness”
Following the news that Eddie Murphy will no longer be hosting the 2012 Academy Awards, a rumor started that funnyman Adam Sandler would be next in line as host of the prestigious awards show. However, Adam spoke with Ryan Seacrest saying that he has no interest whatsoever in following in the footsteps of Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, and Billy Crystal.
The Oscars are the big story this week, Seacrest began, before asking, “Obviously Eddie’s not gonna do it and [original director] Brett [Rather] stepped down: Would you do it?”
“There’s no reason for me to be doing that, no. I see no happiness … there’s no upside,” the 45-year-old SNL alum said. “Whoever has the courage to go out there, I’m proud of them.”
The star of comedies such as Big Daddy, Anger Management and The Wedding Singer joked that his annual Oscar party usually consists of him falling asleep, then waking up the next day asking why he didn’t win anything.
I think the Oscars could use a fresh jolt of funny. Just saying.
