"I was their first choice to host this year, and my goal was to make it the most fun and entertaining Oscars ever," he explained.
"We all tried hard, but couldn't make it work since I'm shooting Jumanji."Ah mahalo dude, I was their first choice to host this year, and my goal was to make it the most fun and entertaining Oscars ever.
