Laura said it first during last year's telecast "bring back Billy Crystal." I agreed wholeheartedly. Then he appeared as if by magic to present. We have continued to say that he should host again. When Eddie Murphy was announced, it was interesting. When Murphy stepped down after the producer Brett Radner resigned, I was very curious about who would host. Laura teased me that Regis would be hosting via facebook today. When I was working out I realized that we should start some internet requests ala Betty White hosting SNL to get Billy Crystal the mc spot at the 2012 Oscar show. Well NO NEED. Yes. So. Excellent.
