    I loveeee when he says "and if you dont score the goal you still go home with Nicole" the way he looks at Tom is priceless. What a guy!

    I'm just more than happy I grew up in the ultimate heyday talents of Billy Crystal during the 1980s and 90s as a teen. A comedy genius of the stand-up skit. One of those few major celebrities you've never heard anyone say a bad word on.
  • The great legendary Billy Crystal. What a talented guy this is.There will never be another Billy Crystal, that's for sure.
  • ❤️Love Billy, he is the best!! I would never miss his opening at the OSCARS !!🤣😂

  • I miss this era of the Oscars. I know it wasn’t perfect but the Oscars were still actually about celebrating movies

    Ahh, no one hosted or will host the Oscars quite like Billy. His relationship and interaction with the audience (aka Hollywood) set him apart and showed his great, albeit irreverent, affection for the film business. It endeared him to everyone and set a trust base, assuring them that his riffs were all in good fun.

    When Billy hosted the Oscars, it was a treat and one of the reasons there was at least one family member (namely Nanny) watched as well....well, at least his famous Oscar medley.

    Billy crystal is so god damned amazing. He should host every show. He just gets it all around. Total obvious film buff and so ridiculously funny. What is wrong with the oscars?!?! They should ask him to host every year!!!!!
  • @TheMMT910
    I wish Billy would consider hosting the Oscars once more. He is so funny watching him in the 90's brought back many memories. He is the best host they ever had!

  • Imagine what a roaring welcome back he would get from the audience if he came back for a final show.

  • @PeanutsAssorted
    I swear I'll never get enough of Billy's corny opening numbers... cos he knows they're corny, he's hamming it up and he clearly get's how stupid it is to do a big song about all the nominees so he has fun with it. I mean come on, the man did a Brady Bunch parody, that's just awesome
