If not, who would you have chosen?

    Yes, yes, and yes. In that order. He is funny, personable and intelligent - a perfect combination.

    Well the Oscars have a political undertone and if you're going to have someone to host it why not someone with comic political savvy? Jon Stewarts fine by me.

    I hope so but I just won't know until I seem him do it. Billy Crystal is my preference but Whoopi was okay. Chris Rock and David Letterman SUCKED. I think it would be funny if they got Larry the Cable Guy or someone with an edge like Eddie Izzard or Ron White or Kathy Griffin to do it.

    I like Stewart, but I still probably won't watch the Oscars.

    He's funny, intelligent and represent the prevailing political views of the Hollywood community. I imagine they will take a few digs at the Bush administration during the show. I'll certainly watch :-)

    Yes! John Stewart is hilarious and I think he will do an excellent job. My prediction is that it will be considered a huge success and they'll probably ask him back again next year.

    Not really the best choice. I would have chosen Carlos Mencia(mind of mencia on comedy central) Now that would have been a heck of a show. EVERYBODY would have known his opinion!!

    One of the most intelligent and funny men alive. Sounds like a good choice to me.
