jon stewart hosting the oscars?

You'd better believe it - he even mentioned it on his show. Maybe this year I'll actually watch.

The Boston Herald, for one, thinks Jon will lose his "street cred" (I'm serious, they used that term) by accepting the offer. I'm not sure such a ridiculously stated position even deserves a counterargument, but here goes anyway: Street cred?! Does the guy whose filmography includes an unnamed character in Half Baked, a couple of romantic comedies, and some deleted scenes from First Wives Club really have "street cred" to lose?

Anyway, I'm sure his show will be the best thing on television whether or not he hosts the stupid Oscars.
