Variety, on the other hand, confirmed that the informal conversation did not result in anything being finalized. Furthermore, the 28-year-old TV celebrity is the face of the popular comedy show, which airs on NBC as the Oscars are televised on ABC. Bringing in Davidson for the event would just mean that ABC would be promoting its rival.

Meanwhile, the Wolves singer and her co-stars are anticipated to land the lucrative offer, as the event aims to target a younger audience. ABC Entertainment head Craig Erwich told the magazine that the ‘iconic three‘ has a big following.
