Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes to host the Oscars

The comedic trio are expected to be formally announced as hosts, the show's first since 2018, on Good Morning America on Tuesday

Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes will host the 94th Academy Awards this year, Variety reported on Monday. The trio of female comedic actors, who are expected to be formally announced on Good Morning America on Tuesday, will be the struggling show's first hosts since 2018.

Schumer, Hall and Sykes are tasked with providing some zest for a program whose ratings have flagged in recent years. Viewership for last year's scaled-backed ceremony, held in Los Angeles's Union Station, fell by more than half from the previous year, which itself was a record-breaking low.
