Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the 96th Academy Awards, marking his fourth turn leading the ceremony, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday.

Kimmel also hosted the ceremony earlier this year, and he hosted in 2017 and 2018.

He will join Whoopi Goldberg and Jack Lemmon as four-time Oscar hosts, and he’ll be one behind Johnny Carson, who hosted five of the events.

Actor Arbaaz Khan has now taken a sly dig at Shah Rukh Khan‘s hosting skills, claiming that the superstar couldn’t bring “niceness and naturalism” to the small screen.
Arbaaz claimed that Shah Rukh failed to emulate what megastar Amitabh Bachchan had done with Kaun Banega Crorepati. Shah Rukh hosted the third season of the renowned game show. The season, however, experienced a drop in ratings due to Bachchan’s absence.

In an interview with a newspaper, Arbaaz was quizzed about his latest chat show and if he had reinvented himself as a talk show host. Arbaaz had an interesting answer, he replied, “I feel, the kind of conversationalist I am, it comes by default and very naturally to me. People might have thought I am quite affable and natural as a host. My film image was way different…

Arbaaz Khan shared that while Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan “bounced back” with ‘Dus Ka Dum’ and ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC), respectively, Shah Rukh Khan “couldn’t pull off” his hosting stint on television. “He couldn’t bring niceness…naturalism to…small screen. People must’ve found him fake. There were two people…He knows his audience but Shah Rukh Khan couldn’t do it,” he shared.

Arbaaz Khan is back with a new talk show named The Invincibles Series. The actor-producer interviews famous yesteryear celebs in it. The Free Press Journal caught up with him for an exclusive chat. Excerpts:

After Quick Heal Pinch, this is your second talk show. Where did you get so much enthusiasm and courage from?

We have to live up to certain challenges, we have to be around and stay relevant to the time. People need to see you since there is a lot of competition. Not that it bothers me but I have to look at how I am progressing in life. Things are moving slowly but in a direction. With the kind of response I am getting for the show, I am too tempted to do the next season.
