IF THE ROOTS ARE INVOLVED, I'M ALL FOR IT: The Academy apparently wants Jimmy Fallon to host the Oscars, but ABC is less than happy with the idea of using an NBC talent as host. Not since Letterman's disastrous hosting effort in 1995 has someone identified with another network hosted the Oscars (though syndicated and cable talk show hosts have). Fallon could be ridiculous fun, to be sure, and would be a way to youthen the broadcast while still keeping the focus on comedy.
