Theres no other way for me to be there, except maybe as a seat filler.

I have to say who I am first.

I have to be a little softer and more self-deprecating, she reveals of her hosting strategy.

Because Im not as well-known, I cant just come out swinging.

I cant come in with the same annihilating venom as I did at the Tom Brady roast.

With status comes the ability to punch harder.

Dont take a stab at be them.

I liked that, because I always perform best when I shake that delusion off.

Im not a movie star.

I just have to be a comedian that night.

Then, by the third time Im hosting, I can have a scorched-earth monologue.”

I am a fangirl.

I am excited to be there.

I dont want anything to be phoned in.

I dont want anything to seem rehearsed.

I really want to represent the people watching at home, so I want it to feel conversational.

I want people to feel like, Whoa, thats maybe how I would do it.

With that in mind, what is she most excited for?

Im looking forward to meetingJennifer Aniston.

Its been a goal since sixth grade, and it might finally happen that night.

So, is Glaser trying to getTaylor Swiftto perform on the broadcast?

If shes there, I can guarantee that there will be no jokes made at her expense.

you might sit on the stage next to me.
