R48, from a New York Times article about the hiring of Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall as hosts. It's under a paywall, but the Archive link below might work for you:
[quote]Will Packer, who was hired in October to produce the Oscars telecast, explored several unconventional ideas for structuring the show, including the option to pair two hosts for each hour. Until this weekend, Packer was also in discussions to add the actor Jon Hamm as a fourth Oscars host, and invitations were also extended to previous hosts, including Chris Rock and Steve Martin. Martin was pursued for the role alongside his “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars Selena Gomez and Martin Short. But that plan was scuttled because of scheduling conflicts.

I like the suggestion of Hugh Jackman. For co-host--and hear me out--I could see Melissa McCarthy. What R98 said reminded me of something I thought when she hosted SNL a long time ago.
I think it was her first time, if she's hosted more than once (I don't often watch SNL). I was really impressed with how she handled herself in front of a live audience, knew how to use the stage, and knew all her lines, unlike the regular cast members. I remember thinking, "What a pro." And I do find her funny, if she can be reined in on the more tasteless stuff. I think she has a lot of talent and would be a good combo with Hugh.

R21, As R57 pointed out, John Mulaney absolutely crushed it hosting the Governors Awards. And his bit presenting at the actual Oscars -- his extended monologue about Field of Dreams -- was stunningly funny and original. There was an immediate hunger for Mulaney to be the next Oscars host based on those two moments. I was not holding my breathe that John would get that phone call, but he did! And now I am rather shocked and disappointed that he has turned down the offer. He would have been a host for the ages. He's such a natural. Mulaney's opening spiel at the Governors Awards struck a masterful balance between poking a bit fun at the industry, and being reverent, classy and respectful towards the winners. He mostly spent his time making fun of himself, which is a refreshing delight compared to Gervais' merciless, vindictive, funereal and punk rock approach to hosting. It was a huge thing that people were talking about for days after John's two massively successful awards appearances, and I'm stunned there is a single gay on this site or elsewhere that managed to avoid hearing about any of it.

Wendy O Wiliams. Juliette Lewis in her pleather jumpsuit. Give us 50 Shades of Grey - Oscars Edition. Bring out the whips and chains. If we are going to inflict pain on the nominees for entertainment, give me a dominatrix over fucking pale, stale male Jimmy Kimmel. Let's get Armie Hammer co-hosting with Effie, demo-ing a reliable Hollywood bondage knot. Throw Jiminy Glick into the mix, have him disrobe and start making out with Jenny Ortega and Sidney Sweeney on top of a salad bar. Lukas Gage in angel wings descending from the heavens to spurt streams of glitter cum into the crowd like Gwar. Oscars So Black Vs Oscars So Whites interpretive dance-off to whatever song from Joker 2 will have been submitted for consideration. Ariana De Bose will reveal the winners via the medium of rap.
It's 2024, it is time to reinvent the wheel completely! LET'S ROCK!

They used to do multiple star hosts. Get Hathaway, Charlize, Michael B. Jordan, and some other guy and call it a day.

Meghan Markle does voiceovers. I'm sure she would drag the rest of herself along if she really had to.

Whoopie did a great job. So did Ellen. Maybe they can go with Steve Martin and Martin Short. They have a lot of choices.
