Jimmy Kimmel no doubt has a list of names he plans to mention during his hosting duties at the 2024 Oscars, but it's Taylor Swift and Travis Kelceis it in red, underlined? The late-night giant says it's not likely.
In an interview with CNN Two days before Sunday's (March 10) ceremony, Kimmel said jokes about the romance are “not off limits, but they're probably played.”
The admission will come as a relief to those who groaned through Jo Koy's mockery of the pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs at the Golden Globes in January, which drew awkward silence and a cold reaction from Swift, who was in the audience that night. .
“The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift,” Koy had said during his monologue, after which the cameras cut to a stoned Swift taking a sip from her champagne flute.
Koy later clarified that he had no “bad intent” to name-check the 14-time Grammy winner, saying Los Angeles Times that “the whole intent of this joke was to make fun of the NFL.”
Hosted by Kimmel, the 2024 Oscars will air live at 7 p.m. ET on ABC and will include performances from Barbieby Ryan Gosling, Billie Eilish and Finneas, as well as performances by Bad Bunny and Bad actresses Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo; Speaking of the trick of making jokes without offending their subjects, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! The host admitted, “It's not that easy.”
“It depends on the person because some people are more sensitive than others,” she continued. “God help you, if I know you. Like, if you've been to my house, you're in trouble on Oscar night.”
