“We're shaking up a format, which I think is always a good thing. The thing about [2011 Oscar hosts] James [Franco] and Anne [Hathaway] is, they've both hosted Saturday Night Live, and they both did a good job at it. So they are accustomed to working with short rehearsal time, and live, lots of pressure, rewrites, things like that. They can make quick changes, which is very advantageous, and they're skilled comedians.” ThinkingJobsNightPressureGood ThingsComedianHostOscarsSaturdayGood JobAccustomedRehearsalShakingFormatSaturday NightSaturday Night LiveFrancoQuick Change Author:Bruce Vilanch
“I mean, people who watch Jon Stewart's show every night don't think he went far enough, because he couldn't do what he does on his show every night, because it's a different job. The same thing with Chris Rock. He can't come out and do a tossed-salad routine, the way he does on his HBO shows, because this is the Academy Awards.” PeopleThinkingWayMeanDoeDifferentEnoughShowsJobsNightWatchesRocksAwardsRoutineEvery NightAcademySaladMean PeopleHboAcademy AwardsDifferent Jobs Author:Bruce Vilanch
