I always like to think I'm having a dinner party, and I'm the host, and the audience are my guests.

I like to think of myself as the host at a party, and, if everybody is having a good time, so much the better.

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.

I always improvise with the crowd. Sometimes it will be a 50 percent show, sometimes 70 percent, sometimes it's almost a whole show where I wing it. It depends on my mood, the energy in the room. For sure, a portion of it is just kind of winging it.

I'm hosting a quiz show, but I never considered myself a game show host.

I don't go to any of the big Academy parties while the show is on because, invariably, it turns to people watching me watch the host, and it's not comfortable. I watch at home and hope the show gets to be really good.

I've sat in the theater for thousands and thousands of shows.

You might as well play at the show everyone else is playing at.

I've always been switching around the show to accommodate the audience, and you know it really makes it a lot more fun for me and keeps it fresh so that I'm not complacent with the same show every night and with every audience.

I do some things just to entertain myself, and I figure that part of the audience will be entertained as well.
