Kevin Hart has revealed he is still debating taking the hosting role at the 91st Oscars despite stepping down last month due to a scandal over historic tweets.
Appearing on Friday's episode of Ellen DeGeneres' show, the legendary chat show star revealed she has been lobbying the Academy in the hope of his return to the role as she confessed she 'really wants him to host'.
Ellen said: 'I called the Academy today because I really want you to host the Oscars. We want him to host, whatever we can do, we’d be thrilled. The Academy is saying what can we do to make this happen.'
Shock: Kevin Hart has revealed he is still debating taking the hosting role at the Oscars despite stepping down last month due to a scandal over historic tweets
In response to her support, Kevin said: 'Leaving here I promise you I’m evaluating this conversation. This is a conversation I needed to have, I’m glad I had it here. I’m glad it’s as authentic and real as I could’ve hoped it would be.'
Sources told PEOPLE: 'There has been a steady stream of buzz that things might work out between Kevin and the Academy. The Academy never really axed him - they wanted him to apologise - he wouldn't, and then he was the one to drop out...
'A lot of people at the Academy scratching their heads because he did what they wanted him to do so really he didn't need to quit in that case.
'Everyone has noticed that it's not like the Academy just pivoted to someone else; Kevin is clearly well aware that the job is still wide open. But meanwhile, he has needed to do his own clean-up work in terms of his image after all of this.'

Resurfaced: Internet users searched through the funnyman's tweets to discover his excess of vile slurs prior to becoming famous in the mainstream
Not interested... As the controversy rumbled on, he tweeted shortly after 'I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscars'
The scandal erupted last month when tweets dated from 2009 to 2011 surfaced in which the comedian spewed blatant anti-gay rhetoric.
In 2011, he wrote in a since-deleted tweet: 'Yo if my son comes home & try's 2 play with my daughters doll house I'm going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ''stop that's gay.''
The comedian has since deleted the tweets, but that wasn't before screen captures began circulating online, gaining widespread criticism.
Shock reaction: Kevin responded to the ultimatum in the video asserting that he chose to 'pass on the apology' because he had 'addressed this several times'
Following the historic reveal, Kevin shared an Instagram video in which he confessed that the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences had given him an ultimatum: 'Apologise for the comments or they would seek a new host'.
Kevin responded to the ultimatum in the video asserting that he chose to 'pass on the apology' because he had 'addressed this several times'.
He said: 'The reason that I passed is I've addressed it several times. That's not the first time this has come up. I've addressed it. I've spoken on it.'
'I've said where the rights and wrongs were. I've said who I am now versus who I was then. I've done it,' the comedian said.
The big reveal: Since then, there hasn't been any word from the Academy, with Deadline reporting that their, 'highly reliable sources' indicating that no one in Hollywood is interested in hosting, after the, 'Hart debacle'
Less than two hours later the star changed his tune, issuing an apology to the LGBTQ community along with his resignation as Oscars host.
As the controversy rumbled on, he tweeted shortly after 'I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscar's....
'This is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists... I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.'
Since then, there hasn't been any word from the Academy, with Deadline reporting that their, 'highly reliable sources' indicating that no one in Hollywood is interested in hosting, after the, 'Hart debacle.'

With less than two months until the 91st Oscars telecast on February 24, and no host named for the telecast yet, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are reportedly considering drastic alternatives.
There had previously been rumors that the Academy was considering using multiple hosts, with Deadline reporting Thursday that this is an option once again, as is using no host at all.
Neither the Academy nor producers Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss have commented on the hosting vacancy, and haven't even officially confirmed that previous host Kevin has bowed out.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
