Hold the Phone! Tina Fey to Host the Oscars? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As if being a mom, writer, actor, producer, comedian and feminist icon weren't enough, rumor has it that Tina Fey might be getting another job: host of the 2012 Academy Awards.

If it's true, no one would be happier than former Oscar host Alec Baldwin, who told our own Ben Lyons at the 30 Rock 100th-episode celebration in New York, "I think she should [do it]...I think that's what they need: somebody who has the ability to host, to keep it moving with jokes, [someone] who moves quick. I think she'd be fantastic."

Works for us! But hey, what does Tina think about that idea?

"That sounds hard," says Tina. "Just the number of outfits."

Is the hosting rumor true? "Not that I know of," says Tina. Baldwin suggested that Fey team up with this year's male host, James Franco (whose guest stint on 30 Rock included a one-night stand with Liz Lemon), and Fey said, "Me and Franco, that's the only way I would do it."

Well, I hate to be a wet blanket, but I hope this doesn't happen.

Fey is a sharp lady, and a good writer, but I'm just not part of the "Tina Fey is the next coming of Christ" movement that seems to have popped up in the last few years. I grow weary of her boring politics. Plus Fey has only one trick really, and it's the "snark" element. I've never seen a trace of heart in her comedy and that shtick's getting old too.

I respect your opinion retro, but after this year's disaster at the Academy Awards with James Franco, anything would be an improvement.
