Robin Williams has some advice for 2012 Oscars host Eddie Murphy

The actor was recently promoting new movie Happy Feet Two when he was asked if he would like to present the Academy Awards again.

He said: 'I like to do some presenting. Come in for a minute and get the f**k out and then just sit back and watch Jack [Nicholson] in the front row.'

Asked if he has any advice for 2012 host Eddie Murphy, Williams said to E! Online: 'I say: 'Eddie, be as many characters as you can be.' Anytime he does somebody else, he kills it.

'If he does anything as funny as the Nutty Professor in one of those opening videos and if they let him become other people, he will destroy.

'He's so good, man. He's brilliant... it's getting that first laugh. Billy [Crystal] said it: 'Once you get the first laugh, you smell blood and it's off and running.''
