The 63-year-old comedian and Oscar-hosting veteran said Thursday on Twitter that he is "doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions."

Academy officials confirmed the appointment. Crystal last hosted the show in 2004. This will be his ninth stint as host.
