Heeeeeeerrrrre’s Jonny!

The _Daily Show_’s Jon Stewart will “return as host for the 2008 Oscar telecast”:http://www.chud.com/index.php?type=news&id=11763. The switch back to Stewart (who hosted the 2006 Awards) was a decision made by Oscar producer Gil Cates, who sat out last year’s broadcast but is “back in the saddle again.”:http://www.variety.com/VR1117971718.html

Perhaps Stewart’s comeback has something to do with the fact that “Ellen sucked it up last year,”:http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/oscars/articles/2007/02/26/host_degeneres_schmoozes_as_audience_snoozes/, but we’ll focus on the positives, like how funny he was during the 2006 show. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn’t have any of that telecast online, so here’s “Stewart in one of our favorite moments in _Half Baked_.”:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0B7bzP-Gog&mode=related&search=

What do you think?
