Do you remember when the Miss America Pageant was a really big deal. Bert Parks would sing the theme song after, usually a young lady from the South, was crowned.
Entire families would be gathered around the television set. Young girls had found their idols. Young boys had visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads or something like that.
Then Poof!. It was all gone. I wouldn't know who carries the show today if anyone does. The Food Channel maybe?
I've heard this years Academy Awards is going to go on without a host. Bob Hope is a long gone memory. After Mr. Hope's gig there were supposed funnymen who took over. I can't remember their names. This year actor Kevin Hart was supposed to be the emcee but he had to opt out. A few years ago, and I think I'm right, someone came up with an anti-women comment he'd made.
This year will be hostless. I think this is silly. There are hundreds of thousands of women who could fill the bill. Kelen Mirren would be a good candidate. She's elegant in her old age. Not only is she a wonderful actress she's also been in comedic/serious movies. She could tell old people jokes.
As it stands, and I'm wondering how it can be pulled off, the show will not have a host. Why doesn't the Academy save itself a bunch of time and money and run trailers across the bottom of the screen during prime time. Nobody cares anymore anyway.
