Planning ahead? The 2022 Oscars are barely in the rearview, but ABC exec Craig Erwich already has his eye on potential hosts for the 2023 show — with Chris Rock among them.Erwich, the network’s president of entertainment, told Deadline on Tuesday, May 17, that the team is open to featuring the comedian, 57, following his altercation with Will Smith at this year’s ceremony.

Smith, 53, stormed the stage during the March broadcast and slapped Rock in the face in response to a joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith‘s hair.“My assessment of the Oscars was that it was really a successful year for the show,” Erwich continued. “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.

Even before that very unfortunate moment, the show started off up year over year, and we came back in a big way.”The exec teased that the 95th annual awards show, which is currently slated to take place in Los Angeles in March 2023, will be “even better” than viewers have seen before. “There’s always things to learn,” Erwich added.Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall cohosted the ceremony earlier this year, but their playful bits and monologues were hardly the focus after Smith’s incident.

The King Richard actor tearfully accepted the best actor trophy just moments after smacking Rock, later taking to Instagram to issue a formal apology for his “destructive” behavior.
