“Eddie Out, Billy In”



Billy Crystal has accepted the role of host of the Academy Awards, replacing Eddie Murphy.  But Crystal will do one of Murphy’s planned bits: He’s going to get made-up to look and talk like an old Jewish guy.

With Crystal hosting, this year’s highlight will be when he forces Betty White to do one-armed push-ups.

Billy’s been out of the spotlight for a while.  In fact, when he was first announced as the host, people were overheard saying, “Billy Crystal?  Which one is that, the guy from Slingblade, or Hannah Montana’s Dad?”


Reaction to the news of Crystal hosting has really been mixed: some cheered, some scoffed, and Meg Ryan faked an orgasm.
