Executive producers Ed Glavin and Kevin Leman, and co-executive producer Jonathan Norman, have been fired from the show following accusations of racial insensitivity, sexual misconduct, and a toxic workplace environment.
Hart was named the host of next month’s Academy Awards back in December, but two days later he quit after refusing to apologize for homophobic tweets and jokes he had made in the past.
An estimated 43 million people watched the Academy Awards, the most-watched audience for the show in a decade and most popular entertainment event on television since the "Friends" finale in 2004.
