LOS ANGELES (AP) - Comedian and actor Steve Martin will host the 75th anniversary Academy Awards show.
This will be the second time Martin has hosted the show. He last hosted two years ago.
"I'm very pleased to be hosting the Oscars again, because fear and nausea always make me lose weight," Martin said.
Martin is known for his wild and crazy comedy routines. But he has also written several books and stage plays and has acted in movies including "Parenthood" and "LA Story."
The 57-year-old recently finished filming the Disney comedy "Bringing Down the House," and will start work on "Shopgirl," a film adapted from his own novella, in January.
The Oscars are scheduled for March 23 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood and will air live on ABC.

I agree, fantastic news.
And memo to the Academy: Never EVER get Whoopi Goldberg again! What the hell were you thinking?

Great quote! I'm really looking forward to seeing him in action again.
