Did Jimmy Kimmel strike the right notes? We take a look at the four things that stand between nailing a hosting gig and bombing.

Hosting an awards show can be a thankless job; do well and you’re barely remembered but bomb and audiences won’t let you forget it.

Later that month, actor Anthony Anderson delighted his Emmys audience, yet failed to spark conversation after the curtains closed.To answer this, we examined this season’s hosts, including Kimmel, Koy, Anderson, David Tennant, and Trevor Noah, and found the four ingredients that make a hosting gig successful.Stand-up often walks a tightrope, riffing on controversial subjects or roasting recognisable names. But successful stand-up will always incorporate a decent share of praise and positivity.

“Yo, I got the gig 10 days ago. Do you want a perfect monologue?” he said. “Yo, shut up. You’re kidding me, right? Slow down. I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.”Koy’s ex-partner, Chelsea Handler, hosted the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards, where she used his inability to admit defeat to her own advantage.

Kimmel, who hosted the Oscars for the fourth time on Monday, instead opted for the safer self-deprecating route, saying things like “are we off to a bumpy start?” when certain gags didn’t land. Sometimes, allowing people to laugh at you means they’ll eventually laugh with you.Three hours of rapid-fire punchlines sounds exhausting.
