Jimmy Kimmel has told Wanda Sykes that she will be “stolen” over her strawberries for this Sunday’s Oscars.
Sykes is one of three main hosts for this year’s ceremony, alongside Amy Schumer and Regina Hall.
During an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live !, Kimmel asked Sykes if she would say how much she was paid for the high-profile job.
Sykes replied, “I do not even know. It’s like scale, probably.” Scale “is the minimum wage set by the Screen Actors Guild.
Kimmel then told her, “It’s less than that. I got paid $ 15,000 to host the Oscars, and it’s one of me. You’ll probably have all of that split up! It sounds like a lot for one night, but it is months of work that lead to it.
Kimmel, who hosted the 2017 and 2018 awards, added: “You’re being stolen. You know what? Stop it now, because they need hosts!”
Sykes then revealed that she already had a plan to open her tax. “I already decided, I’ll just steal an Oscar,” she joked.
This year marks the first time in three years that the Oscars have a real host. In the years since Kimmel’s last tour, the ceremony has relied on award presenters to carry the show.
The Academy Awards will take place this Sunday, March 27th.
In the US, viewers can watch the Oscars on ABC. In the UK, it is available for Sky Cinema subscribers to watch on the temporary dedicated channel Sky Cinema Oscars.
