00:00Hi, Amanda. Nice to meet you. You look so great.

00:03So sweet. Your eyes are so blue.

00:05You're very welcome.

00:06Your eyes are so green and wow.

00:08Majestic.

00:08I'm surprised I'm not bloodshot. Thank you.

00:09This is amazing.

00:10Love seeing you on this carpet.

00:12Thank you. Me too. I'm so out of place here.

00:14I'm definitely the least qualified person.

00:15I think a lot of people think I'm driving people around, but it's exciting.

00:19No, they do not. They absolutely do not.

00:21Maybe.

00:21Who are you excited to see tonight?

00:23I mean, everybody. I hope Billy Bob Thornton shows up.

00:26I'm a huge fan.

00:27Bad Santa has been my favorite Christmas movie since I was probably like six, seven years old,

00:31which is just bad parenting in general.

00:33I have not had a chance to check out his new show, but I'm dying to.

00:36He's one of my favorite actors of all time.

00:38You've seen Sling Blade?

00:39No.

00:39It's the only movie I've ever cried in in my entire life.

00:42Bad News Bears. I mean, the guy's an absolute legend.

00:44I hope I get to meet him.

00:45I love it.

00:46I know Nikki Glaser's hosting tonight.

00:48You're also in that world.

00:50Have you given her any advice?

00:52How do you think she's going to do?

00:53I would never. We're different comedians.

00:55She knows what she's doing.

00:56She's been a beast in comedy for over 10 years.

00:59She's finally getting the recognition that she deserves.

01:01I think she's going to crush it.

01:02I texted her last night just saying good luck,

01:04and I hope I get to run into her before the award show starts.

01:06If not, I'll see her after.

01:07How is she feeling?

01:08Did she mention any nerves before the big show?

01:11She didn't bring it up, but I think she's fine.

01:13She's done way wilder shows than this, and these shows usually don't go well.

01:17So it's like, what's the pressure?

01:19Just go up there and have fun.

01:20I love it.

01:21Do you think we could ever see you hosting one of these shows?

01:25I know that you hosted something recently.

01:27Yeah, I would love to host something like this.

01:29It's a bit of pressure, but same advice I would give Nikki.

01:32Just have fun.

01:33I would go up there, I would do my thing,

01:35and let everybody have their moment, and just put on a good show.

01:38That's all you can really hope to do.

01:40Who should be worried tonight with her monologue?

01:44Oh, absolutely everybody.

01:46Nothing's off limits for her whatsoever,

01:48which is what makes her such a great comedian.

01:49She's not scared of anybody or anything.

01:51Every comedian's been at rock bottom of having no career anyway,

01:54so it's like, what's she going to do?

01:55Not work again?

01:56She's selling out theaters around the world.

01:58She's going to be just fine.

01:59And I know you're on tour, going on tour.

02:01How is that going?

02:02What can we expect?

02:03Right now we are off until March, and we start my first arena tour.

02:06It's our biggest and best show ever.

02:08It's the energy of feeling 15,000, 16,000 people around you

02:12all enjoying themselves, it's incomparable.

02:15And to make an arena full of that many people feel like an intimate hangout

02:19is just the coolest thing to get to orchestrate.

02:21It's so much fun.

02:22Who would be a dream celebrity to attend one of your shows?

02:25That's a very good question.

02:28Jamie Foxx.

02:29I think Jamie would really enjoy the show.

02:32His new special that just came out was incredible.

02:34I don't know if you had a chance to check it out on Netflix.

02:36Very, very good.

02:37He's an entertainment icon and somebody I would love to work with.

02:40He's nominated tonight.

02:41Is he really?

02:42And he's supposed to come here.

02:43Shut up.

02:44I'm going to text him.

02:45I hope he comes.

02:46Please text him.

02:47That's so awesome.

02:48Tell him to come talk to us.

02:49I absolutely will.

02:50No problem.

02:51It's been a pleasure.

02:52So nice to meet you as well.

02:53You got it.
