The Best and the Worst Oscar Hosts (Slideshow)

4. Chevy Chase (1988)

The SNL alum had help hosting the 1987 Oscars with Goldie Hawn and Paul Hogan, but the next year Chase returned solo for what would be his last time hosting. Chase opened the show on the wrong foot by acknowledging the audience saying, “Good evening, Hollywood phonies.” Chase continued to piss people off throughout the evening with his immature insults aimed at critics and the year’s nominees. The badly-written material for the show may have been due to the writer’s strike that occured a month the show, but regardless of the script, never insult your audience. (Photo by Getty Images)
