LOS ANGELES - Jon Stewart is getting a do-over as Oscar host.

America's favorite faux newscaster, who drew mixed reviews for his first stint in 2006, has been picked for a return engagement in February, the film academy announced Wednesday. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070912/ap_en_mo/oscar_host;_ylt=AkhbtpHXsXEd43nsZPB5gcMwFxkF)

I think there's too much pressure on these acts to be funny. Especially with the Oscars. He just needs to come out and crack a couple of George Bush jokes. Maybe something current like anything Britney or OJ's book. And then go through the audience and half crack a joke, half introduce the actor. yawnnnnn

If Jon Stewart doesn't try to force it and just does his normal shtick he'll be a good host.
