Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscars Top Gun attire has generated excessive excitement just days before the live ceremony. In Kimmel’s debut as host trailer, he sported Maverick’s renowned flight suit.
Jimmy Kimmel joins Top Gun: Maverick stars Jon Hamm and Charles Parnell in the inaugural preview for the 2023 Oscars ceremony.
When it comes to hosting late night, Jimmy Kimmel has always been a bit of an independent thinker, but he takes that quite literally in his first promo as host of the 2023 Oscars.
This will be Kimmel’s third time hosting the academy awards. Maverick has been nominated for six Oscars, probably why Kimmel chose to dress up as Maverick.
“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to be asked to host again,” Kimmel says in the trailer. This leads Hamm to clarify, “We asked a lot of people before you.”
The trailer is filled with humor and a reenactment of scenes from the incredible Maverick.
Hamm went as far as listing the names of all the celebrities that were offered the hosting gig before Kimmel. “Steve Martin, Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Steve Austin, Steve Seagal, Steve Urkel, Steve from Blue’s Clues. That’s just the Steves,” said Hamm.
The video takes a dig at last year’s infamous moment involving Will Smith slapping presenter Chris Rock at the ceremony co-hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.
Explaining the reason behind the selection of Jimmy Kimmel, Parnell said that ABC asked him to come up with a person who is ‘unflappable.’
Kimmel responded to that sardonic comment by saying that he can’t get slapped not because he is perfect but because he cries a lot.
The trailer also includes Kimmel giving an insight into his plan for the evening. His plan includes beginning the ceremony by leading a standing ovation for someone old and ending it 4-5 hours later with the best picture award.
Kimmel is also seen targeting the production’s previous experience of giving the best picture award to a movie that was not worthy of the award.
The footage also features an appearance from nine-time Oscars host Billy Crystal.
