Chris Rock won't be back to hand out Oscars at the 2006 ceremony in March next year. No announcement has been made about the new host.
Los Angeles: Comedian Chris Rock, who aimed satiric barbs at Hollywood at this year's Academy Awards ceremony, won't be returning as host next year.
The comedian's publicist, Matt Labov, told the New York Times on Friday that Rock did not want to do the show "in perpetuity" but would "like to do it again down the road." He did not elaborate.
Rock took over as host for the first time last year. He was credited for drawing a younger audience, however, some members of the Academy were taken aback by shots Rock took at various actors.
It has not been announced who will be hosting the 2006 ceremony, which will take place March 5.
