The comedian also discusses how her preparation for the hosting gig is different from her stand-up specials, and what’s off-limits for her.
I perform stand-up live all the time, but those are people who are paying specifically to see [me], and this is an audience of peers, and actors, actresses and directors. It’ll be a different vibe, for sure, but I try to take everything that I say yes to pretty seriously these days, and I want to be respectful of all the people who’ve worked so hard to be in this business and to receive nominations and make it a really fun, high-energy night.
I feel slight pressure, but I like a lot of pressure. I do my best work when I’m under pressure. You want to challenge yourself. When you’re nervous for something, that means you care. My therapist taught me that, so I now look at nerves in a completely different light. You use that energy to fuel your performance and to also spread good vibes to everybody there. … My intention is just to have a great time and to make everybody feel comfortable and welcome — like they belong there.
Well, I don’t know — is Will Smith coming? I don’t think anyone’s going to come up and slap me in the face. I think that trend is over. It was a one-hit wonder. I think everyone’s learned to control themselves at awards shows. Last time somebody was interrupted at an awards show, I think, was Kanye [West] and Taylor Swift, and that didn’t go over very well, either. So hopefully everybody knows to stay in their seats unless they’re presenting or win an award.
