The NEXT HOST should be.....
Jim Carrey or
Martin Short.
Both can command the audience, but draw them in in an inviting way. STand up comics have better command of the stage and though Ellen was good, she still seemed a little uncomfortable and vanilla. She isn't an animated personality and that is needed on a grand stage.
