When I was offered the opportunity to do it, I was very clear with everyone at AP that I would do my homework and obsessively try to do the best job I can because I think all the great examples of hosts that ever knocked it out of the park are ones you can clearly tell put a lot of thought of how to put their spin on this show or how they would be able to inject their own kind of comedic sensibility. So often you have these people who are very talented and funny people doing a job that seems almost miserable, in a sense, because they’re just reading a script and they’re doing what they can, but you really have to work really hard, I think, to inject your own personality into it, and then it can be amazing. It’s always fascinated me, because in many ways it’s a thankless job unless you can turn it into something that’s fun for you and you can show your personality. or a more edgy stand-up comedian do their take on a hosting role. To be honest, I’ve always been really interested in the role of the host, whether it’s our kind of Billy Crystal-style traditional awards show host or when you have someone like Louis C.K. Is the type of performance you were doing on your solo tour what made the hosting gig appealing, or was there another element to it? While I’m not nervous, I’m sure other people are nervous that I’m going to overshoot this. That’s what makes me insufferable to be around, is that most of my life I have assumed that everyone wants to see me perform and do things all the time.
