I really think a good host is just a connector. I'm more traffic cop than star. My job is to get people on and off the program, and hopefully keep the audience entertained.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's fun for me to go on other folks' talk shows. When you've endured the ups and downs and tensions and pitfalls of hosting, being a guest is a piece of angel food.
It's a fascinating job, to come in and be the most interesting person in an episode. Whoever the guest star is, that's the job - to maintain the interest and the focus for that 42 minutes or whatever, and it should be a huge relief to those people that are the leads in the shows.
I love talk shows and hosting. I would want to do something like that. I'm not sure I would want to be a reality star continuously.
I've often talked about that, and I've been asked that a couple of times and my feeling are that if you have a good show, a bad host will not even hurt the show.
It is fun to do the one-off guest stars on stuff.
I've been watching 'Californication' since the pilot aired and had always thought that it would be so much fun to guest star on.
I never in my life saw myself as a game show host. I don't want to be a traffic cop.
I like to think of myself as the host at a party, and, if everybody is having a good time, so much the better.
I definitely want to act, but hosting is something that I am really enjoying. The first show I ever hosted was 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja.' I was super nervous then, but now I am very comfortable.
A good host is someone who really takes care of everyone, from the food to their daily programme. I can't.
