Finding a solid work-life balance is one thing, butJimmy Kimmelhas started having a hard time maintaining a work-Oscarsbalance.
The comedian revealed earlier this year that he wouldnt be returning to host the Academy Awards.
He first hosted back-to-back years in 2017 and 2018, then returned in2023 and 2024.

I just decided I didnt want to deal with that this year.
It was just too much last year.
I did two years, it went well.
I did another two years, it went well.
Im not good at balancing.
Its not one of my strengths.
Im all in when it comes to something like the Oscars.
We have all our writers from the show working on the Oscars, so it distracts them.
They say its a thankless job.
The 2025 Academy Awards will air on ABC on March 2.
