Schumer is actually one of three hosts, sharing the stage with Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. She's also staring in a Hulu show she created called Life & Beth so she's not doing nothing. This isn't a defense of her hosting, but hosting the oscars isn't exactly a primo spot in recent years. It's kind of like the super bowl halftime show, which variably stars people previously famous trying to get back into the public eye.
