Our good friends over at Cinematical are reporting that the Oscars, rejected by everyone from Chris Rock (well, to be fair, he wasn't actually asked to host) to Billy Crystal (too busy) to Steve Martin and Whoopi Goldberg, may finally have a real live host....The Daily Show's Jon Stewart! Okay, it hasn't actually technically been confirmed yet, but we knew you'd be as excited as we are to hear this rumor, and since it was started by the LA Times "The Envelope", it has some cred. This is even better than getting William Shatner to host!  Stewart, with his political snarkiness and awesome comedic timing, is the perfect choice to host the Oscars (and I don't say that just because he's my secret TV boyfriend, either). Now for the real question -- will he work in Steven Colbert interviewing Oscar nominees? Oh please oh please oh please!

I still like the idea of a reality show to pick next year's Oscar host, though.
