LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Comic actress Tina Fey says there is "no way" she would host the Oscars ceremony next year, despite getting a thumbs up from Star Trek actor William Shatner in a sketch at Sunday's Academy Awards show.
The creator and star of TV comedy 30 Rock told the Huffington Post website that she did not see herself as fronting the Oscars telecast.
"I just feel that gig is so hard. Especially for, like, a woman - the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone... no way," she joked, during an interview with the Huffington Post posted on the website on Tuesday.
Asked if there was at least a one in a million chance, Fey replied, "I wish I could tell you there was."
