Oscars producer: 2016 show to have two hosts

The Oscars are looking for a team to steer the ship in 2016.

The award show is looking for two hosts for the 2016 ceremony, show producer David Hill told EW. “There will be multiple hosts for sure – there will be two,” Hill said.

Why two hosts? “Two is better than one,” he told the magazine, adding, “Just imagine, you’re in there. One of your hosts drops dead from cardiac arrest. What do you do? Second host goes on! And you keep going. … Note to self. Check out their heart rates.”

Hill didn't tell EW about any possible candidates for the show. Pairs that may come to fans' minds include Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who memorably hosted the Golden Globes as a pair three years in a row, as well as other comedy pairs like Comedy Central's Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele (Key made an appearance at another star-studded ceremony this year: The White House Correspondent's dinner).

The last time a pair hosted the Oscars was in 2011, when James Franco and Anne Hathaway delivered a cringe-worthy performance that many critics and fans panned. A pair also hosted in 2010, when Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin joined forces.
