Ellen DeGeneres Back For Another Round of Oscar Hosting!

Wait, is this a joke or for real?

Today, Ellen DeGeneres confirmed that she will be hosting the 2014 Oscar Awards via Twitter. The funny lady is prone to making jokes on the popular social media site, however we believe she's serious about this one!

Just moment ago, the comedian went live with the news of her hosting gig of  the awards show which will air live March 2 on ABC. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sent out a release announcing the news as well..just so we all know we're not the brunt of one of Ellen's notoriously hilarious pranks!

In 2007, DeGeneres received rave reviews on her hosting talents on the show. Last year, comedian Seth MacFarlane hosted, but it looks like producers (and the people) want Ellen back for a second round. Ratings were extremely high when she hosted, as she brought in a close second to MacFarlane with 39.9 million viewers, and MacFarlane bringing in 40.3 million.

We bet Ellen will be encouraging her faithful band of viewers and followers to watch via her daytime talk show, accompanied with many chuckle-worthy promotional commercials and skits.

With Ellen as the host for next year, will you be watching?

Jason Sudeikis Reveals He Will Not Be Returning to Saturday Night Live

He has made us smile (until it hurt) for a whooping ten seasons straight, but sadly that is coming to an end. Funny man, Jason Sudeikis has confirmed that he will not be returning for another season of Saturday Night Live. Sudeikis made the announcement during a visit to The Late Show with David Letterman  last night. Appearing on the show for ten seasons straight, the comedian actually wrote for the famed sketch comedy show for two years prior to getting in front of the camera.

Rumors of his leaving the show have been swirling since May, but last night Sudeikis made it official. SNL is currently on summer break, however will resume taping in August.

Rest assured, we will be able to get our dose of Sudeikis in new big screen movie which co-stars Jennifer Aniston and premieres in August, called "We're The Millers".

Sudeikis and long time girlfriend, Olivia Wilde are currently preparing to get hitched some time this year. Maybe SNL will spoof the wedding?!

Check out the clip below of Sudeikis and Letterman below:
