Hello everyone and welcome to Decoding TV, a podcast about television.

I'm David Chen.

Joining me as usual is Patrick Klebek.

Patrick, both of us watch the Oscars this week.

Huge, huge telecast.

Despite all the hate that many people, including us, have rained down upon that ceremony,

still one of the most watched awards ceremonies on television.

Let's talk about it real quick.

What did you think of it?

I thought it was it.

What's the phrase you do three always use the film cast, a perfectly cromulent awards

award show. Conan's one of my

favorite comedians i thought his intro was like spectacular fun biting insightful he had some good

the kentz kamar joke was extremely funny and biting i thought he picked his moments he was as present

as one should or shouldn't be.

Like, I thought he was a good host.

Like somehow Conan became the annual host or a regular host of the Oscars.

I think he would be well regarded, well received.

He doesn't feel as, man, I got to knock the crap out of something.

Like Jimmy Kimmel became grading over time. His approach became, I don't know, I got to knock the crap out of something. Like Jimmy, like Jimmy Kimmel became grading over time.

His approach became, I don't know, I feel like it became very Kimmel-centric.

Like, you're here to watch Jimmy Kimmel do a bit about the Oscars rather than, you know, a telecast that was about, you know, the movies themselves.
