From The New York Times:
The Academy Awards haven’t exactly turned into a yearly show with Jon Stewart. But Mr. Stewart, the political satirist and star of “The Daily Show,” is getting another shot at the Oscar podium.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which bestows the Oscars, is expected to bring back Mr. Stewart, who was host of the ceremony in 2006. An announcement is scheduled for Wednesday, according to two people involved with the plan who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to talk to the news media.
A spokesman for the academy declined to comment.
And a publicist for Mr. Stewart declined to comment. The show, scheduled for Feb. 24 on ABC, will be produced by Gil Cates, who was also the producer when Mr. Stewart made his appearance in 2006.

Yay!

i'd like to see the awards hosted by two people like they did decades ago...and not neccesarily a comedian.
What if Jack Nicholson and Julia Roberts hosted...they're always spotlighting the camera on them anyways...why not invite them to host?
boo (to Jon Stewart)
That’s too bad. I thought Jon Stewart did an awful job hosting in 2006. He was unfunny and annoying.
Jack Nicholson as the host would be awesome! You should produce the Oscars this year RC!
I loved this news. Jon Stewart was a hilarious host a couple years back and I thought he was horribly underrated. Annoying is the last word I would use.
