Steve Martin won’t host the Oscars again: ‘They don’t pay’

Steve Martin has hosted the Oscars alone twice and once with Alec Baldwin, but the movie star has no plans on returning as the award show host.

During an interview with the LA Times, Martin shared that hosting alone made him “nervous,” but once he had a partner, it became easier. The outlet asked if he would return with his friend, Martin Short, to host the Oscars, and he said no.

“That represents so much work for us. And we love our summers,” Martin said. “When I hosted before, I started working months ahead of time. And now I have a completely different life. I’m not as free. It’s a lot of work, and we’re working.”

Martin was referring to the show, “Only Murders in the Building,” which stars Short and Selena Gomez.
