Oscars 2023 is open to having..Chris Rock... host the broadcast.
Erwich, who is President of Entertainment at ABC, told Deadline that despite the Will Smith slap on Chris Rock, he thought it was a “really successful year for the show.” He was also open to the idea of Rock hosting the awards https://t.co/bGfCYTKxPI

Today in "Assholes fail upward.", ABC President says the show was successful, and a certain person involved with certain events is welcome to come host next year. No, not Will Smith ("Ali", as we saw), who as a 10-year ban on going to the long, boring ceremony, but Chris Rock ("Madagascar").
'“My assessment of the Oscars was that it was really a successful year for the show. Obviously there was a lot of controversy*, which overshadowed a lot of the positive things about the show, but I was really happy with the program,” he said. “Even before that that very unfortunate moment, the show started off up year over year, and we came back in a big way.”'
*Clearly referring to how they fucked up We Don't Talk About Bruno
There's no direct quote saying 'Yes, he could come host', but Deadline inferred it and it's Deadline so.
