We missed our chance to see his new character, Oscar, the outlandishly some way something.
This would have been sweet. The Oscar hosts play like Leno, i.e., a rolodex (what’s a rolodex?) of lame topical pop culture zings without any feeling for the material. J-Stew was great in ’07, though.

It’s totally hilarious, even if you don’t give a shit about the Oscars. Another thing revealed in the interview: Terry Gross has a safe word.
