The month of March is mad by it's very nature, according to Psychology Today.

Why Jimmy Decided to Host a 4th Time

The 96th Oscars night was Jimmy Kimmel’s fourth time hosting and like always, his jokes were well-timed and truly what a monologue ought to be. Not the hit or miss comedy bits linger on uncomfortably, waiting for an audience applause.

The quips came without warning and gave very little time for their targets to react. Bradley Cooper’s “dating his mom” joke, Robert Downey Jr.’s “high on drugs” joke, or the joke with Sandra Hüller about complex crime thrillers seen as rom-coms in Germany, were all edgy but palatable.
