Jimmy Kimmel Teases Barbie-Inspired Oscars Show as Host for 94th Academy Awards

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Jimmy Kimmel shared a glimpse into his plans for the 94th Academy Awards show, slated to air on March 10 on ABC.

When asked about his role in the array of Kens in Barbie lore, Kimmel humorously dubbed himself ‘Rapidly Balding Ken,’ downplaying any comparisons to the iconic doll’s other personas.

Kimmel expressed excitement for his hosting duties, remarking on the energy and effort he and his team invest in delivering a top-notch show for viewers.

His wife, Molly McNearney, co-executive producer of the Oscars show, joins him in spearheading the creative process, ensuring an entertaining night for all.

The blockbuster hit ‘Titanic,’ nominated in eight categories at the Oscars, including Best Picture and a Best Supporting Actor nod for Ryan Gosling, is expected to be a focal point of the evening’s entertainment.

Kimmel hinted at incorporating Barbie-inspired elements into the show, aiming to create a memorable impact similar to the film ‘Titanic‘.

Preparations for the show are in full swing, with Kimmel fine-tuning his monologue and keeping abreast of the latest happenings in the film industry to infuse humor and relevance into his hosting duties.
