00:00 I think what makes the Grammys particularly nerve-wracking for me is,
00:04 like, these are superstars.
00:05 Yeah.
00:06 These are...
00:08 I don't want to get on the wrong side of Taylor Swift fans.
00:10 So you're trying to walk this fine line of being, you know, the comedian,
00:14 but then also still being nice about the night.
00:17 Do you get nervous still doing this after...
00:18 All the time.
00:19 I'm surprised to hear that after all this time that you still have a little...
00:23 I never take it for granted.
00:24 I am never not nervous.
00:26 It is...
00:28 Think of this moment.
00:30 Everybody's there.
00:31 You have an idea of what you would like to do.
00:33 You've never practiced this with them.
00:35 Yeah.
00:35 You know, this is not like creating music where you get to play the music for people
00:38 and there's a, you know, there's an understanding and you...
00:41 No, there's no rule.
00:42 Some people are not having a good night, some people are having a good night.
00:45 You don't know how it will go.
00:47 And as the night progresses, the mood changes.
00:50 And how does that mood affect the comedy?
00:51 You don't know.
00:52 So just like everything else that makes you nervous, you know,
00:54 whether it's driving in a fast car on a racetrack or, you know,
00:58 going bungee jumping or pulling in for the first kiss on a date.
01:01 Yeah.
01:02 It's nervous, but it's exciting.
01:03 And you hope it ends well.
