Fresh off an impressive performance as the host of the 75th Primetime Emmys, Anthony Anderson is setting his sights on the next big hosting opportunity. In an interview outside the Peacock Theater in DTLA, the actor/comedian expressed his desire to host the prestigious Academy Awards.

Reflecting on his hosting duties at the Emmys, Anderson revealed that he felt really good about how it went. Encouraged by the positive feedback he received, he hopes that the Oscars organizers share the same sentiment and give him a chance to showcase his hosting skills at their ceremony.

To gauge the opinions of some of Hollywood's funniest men, a quick poll was conducted, including Colin Jost, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers. Unanimously, they all agreed that Anderson did a commendable job at the Emmys, further bolstering his case for an Oscar hosting gig.

Interestingly, this stands in contrast to the mixed reviews received by Jo Koy for his hosting stint at the Golden Globes. With Jimmy Kimmel confirmed as the host for the upcoming Academy Awards in March, marking his second consecutive year and fourth overall, Anderson's desire to be a fresh face next year seems plausible.

While nothing is set in stone, it appears that Anthony Anderson's enthusiasm and strong performance as an Emmy host could potentially earn him the opportunity to grace the stage at the epicenter of the film industry, the Academy Awards. The anticipation builds as Hollywood awaits the announcement of the host for the prestigious event.
