Oscars were hostless this past year and surprisingly the telecast of the ceremony clocked better numbers than the last couple of years. However, it is being said that Oscars 2020 will be having a host yet again and there are several names being popped up who can potentially host the ceremony.

In a reader poll recently conducted on The Hollywood Reporter's website, Haddish earned the most votes among a number of rumored possible hosts (including Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson and former Oscars hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen DeGeneres) to emcee the 2020 Academy Awards following 2019's host-less ceremony.

After Jimmy Fallon told Haddish that her fans created a petition for her to host the show, she said that she would do it under two conditions. "I would if they paid me, and I could do it with somebody," she said.

She then told Fallon that she would do it if he was her co-host. "I don't want all that pressure on me because I'm gonna lose my hair, and then I'm gonna have to really wear wigs all the time," she said. "It's too much stress. Unless they pay me a lot of money, then I would be like, 'It's worth it.'"

Haddish said that if she hosted the Oscars, she would "have it hot." The comedian explained, "We would have twerk contests and everything. Yeah, I would get Meryl Streep up there to twerk with Susan Sarandon. You know, it would be crazy."
