Jimmy Kimmel has rejected an approach to host the Oscars in 2025

Jimmy Kimmel has rejected an approach to host the Oscars in 2025.

The 56-year-old comedian has already hosted the Academy Awards four times, including the ceremony held earlier this year.

However, Jimmy has already declined the opportunity to return in 2025, according to PEOPLE.

Elsewhere, John Mulaney has also passed on the opportunity to host the next Academy Awards.

The 41-year-old comedian - who is married to actress Olivia Munn - actually hosted the Academy's 14th Governors Awards in January. He was approached to host the Oscars earlier this year, but he's already rejected the opportunity.

The awards ceremony went host-less from 2019 to 2021, while the 2022 event was jointly hosted by Regina Hall, Wanda Sykes and Amy Schumer.

Jimmy returned to host the awards show in 2023 and it proved to be a big hit with viewers, attracting a US TV audience of 19.5 million people.
