Allison told you yesterday that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will host the Oscars in 2010. But you probably guessed that others were considered too, right? Three of the people below turned down the gig. Can you guess who they were?- Tina Fey
- Robert Downey, Jr.
- Will Ferrell
- Whoopi Goldberg
- Jay Leno
- Ben Stiller
- Sean Combs
- Kristin Chenoweth
- Jerry Seinfeld
- me
The three who turned down the gig were Tina Fey (too busy with 30 Rock), Ben Stiller, and Robert Downey Jr.
(For the record, I wasn't asked.)

I had 2 of the 3 with my error being Seinfeld instead of Tina Fey.
I remember Jerry's appearance at the Oscars to promote Bee Movie and figured he was auditioning for a future hosting gig... I did consider Fey though... so it didn't blow me away.

Shouldn't every awards show be hosted by Neal Patrick Harris.

I can't believe that Neil Patrick Harris wasn't asked, or Ricky Gervais. Those would have been my top two choices.
