Ellen today

My thoughts are that had to have been staged.

@lovescats. It would be helpful to have a brief explanation of what you're talking about.

Certainly Kevin had been briefed on what type of questions would be asked or maybe even the exact questions. The Academy Awards seems to have a big problem and time is running out.

She had Kevin Hart on, all that blow up about his old comments and him quitting the oscars was dredged up.

ED: You're so wonderful, we (society) need to have a conversation about this, blah, blah.

My take...the oscars people can't find someone to take his place and she's trying to broker peace to get him back.

I hope he stays out. I like him and think he didn't deserve what happened. It happens too much to too many (years-old comments made new by people of little/no accomplishment when someone better gets recognition). Maybe this is the lesson "they" need to learn.

Most things on tv are planned, especially a show like Ellen.

A lot of people say things, then grow and don't have the same views. Some things are just said for shock value (especially comedians)

Agree that it was staged. If it is so important, why doesn't Ellen step in to host? So very tired of "Hollywood".

For comedians these are the best of times, and the worst of times.

Kevin Hart is annoying. I won’t see anything he’s in because he’s so one-note. Very little range.

I like that Ellen was kind to Kevin Hart. I do find it interesting that she thinks she gets to decide when we have to give people second chances or not.

I don't see Kevin Hart as a good fit for the Oscars.

I do like him, but a little bit goes a long way.

Maybe The Rock can step in and host this year.

I don't know what is going on here but is he the guy from King of Queens? If so, what did he do to ****** off the Academy?

Re: Ellen today

World Traveler — Sat, 05 Jan 2019 01:05:23 GMT

@Bridgegal You are thinking of Kevin James, who stars in King of Queens.

Wasn't she just expressing an opinion?

Only saw it in a short clip.

Still no host is what they keep saying.

Maybe they'll give him the job and Ellen will get the credit.

I won't watch anyway.

@World Traveler ... and Kevin James is a truly funny comic!

Re: Ellen today

lovescats — Sat, 05 Jan 2019 01:40:02 GMT

Maybe it would be better for Kevin Hart if he didn't take the re offer. Would Ellen take the an offer to host after all the flak she is getting for this?

Maybe Kathy Griffin should host?

As much as I agree with her approach (I think it's high time to stop sitting in judgement of one another), my belief is totally staged to test the waters and see if redemption is in the offing.

Can you imagine the ratings if he did come back? So can the Academy. Everyone will be sitting there with their Twitter app the day of the show just waiting to blow social media up.

My first thought was that the Academy put her up to it.

Wasn't she a host once?

I seem to recall she was a very good host.
