00:00 I know that you're a Swifty, like I am, so I made you something.
00:03 A friendship bracelet?
00:04 A friendship bracelet.
00:05 Get out.
00:06 And read what it says.
00:07 Best host?
00:08 Aww.
00:09 You haven't even seen me do it yet.
00:13 I just know you're going to be the best.
00:14 Thank you so much.
00:15 Since you are a Swifty, what Taylor Swift era would you say you're in right now as you're
00:19 preparing to host the People's Choice Awards?
00:21 I can tell you what era I'm in, maybe like in life.
00:26 It's probably midnights just because Taylor and I are the same, we're both 1989 babies,
00:31 and the things that she sings about in Midnight's is very, it's just a lot of stuff that I'm
00:36 going through right now.
00:37 And also, I will say, just across all of her eras, Taylor's like one of the best at the
00:43 songs for the haters, you know?
00:47 You know, New Romantics, you got Karma, so many, Shake It Off.
00:52 She's like, it's the blueprint right there for like just rising above it all.
00:55 Have you sought out any advice from any previous award show hosts, and if so, what did they
00:59 tell you?
01:00 Yeah, you know, Trevor Noah is a great, great friend, and I was like, he did such an amazing
01:05 job with the Grammys, and has been doing for like, he's like the Grammys guy, you know?
01:10 And it's for a good reason.
01:11 He just, I think, strikes the perfect balance of like being funny, but like in such a celebratory
01:17 kind of way that's like, hey, we're here to have a good time, we're here to have a party,
01:21 we're not here to like try to offend anyone and try to make the most offensive joke that
01:25 we possibly can.
01:26 It's like, no, it's a good time.
01:29 Let's just have a good time.
01:30 It's not that hard, you know?
01:31 That was his advice.
01:33 James Corden actually gave me a great piece of advice, which is, which is if you're getting
01:39 in your ear that you need to kill time, don't do it.
01:42 Yeah, he's like, he's like, the show will find a way, but don't, you know?
01:49 Because he was like, the people at home don't know that you're trying to fill time.
01:53 All they'll see is you like scrambling and trying to talk, and then they're like, why
01:56 is he doing that?
01:57 If we have technical difficulties, I still want to, I want the show's producers to know
02:01 that we're going to help each other out.
02:03 In addition to hosting, you're also nominated this year for your role in Barbie.
02:07 What has just all the fan support and success of the movie meant to you?
02:12 It's meant a great deal, mostly just for the fact that I get to play a small witness into
02:16 all this stuff that's happening.
02:18 I mean, I have no expectation of winning in any capacity.
02:21 I just really love the recognition that, you know, that Margot and that Ryan and Greta
02:26 and America and everyone involved with this, with this incredible film are getting.
02:32 Now since you're hosting the People's Choice Awards, I want to play a little game called
02:36 The Choice is Yours.
02:37 Oh man.
02:38 I'm going to name two things.
02:39 No.
02:40 You're going to choose one.
02:42 Why would you do this to me?
02:43 Tell me why.
02:44 It's going to be fun.
02:45 I think you might like it.
02:46 Okay.
02:47 I'm going to name two DCA nominees.
02:48 Okay.
02:49 Fair enough.
02:50 First one.
02:51 Hi Barbie or Hi Ken.
02:52 Hi Barbie.
02:53 Hi Barbie.
02:54 Definitely.
02:55 Can you imagine if I said Hi Ken?
02:56 I mean, you are Ken, but you say Hi Barbie.
02:59 I do.
03:00 Yeah, we do.
03:01 Because we do.
03:02 Ultimately, all we care about is the approval of the Barbies.
03:04 Five nights at Freddy's or five nights at the Heiress Tour?
03:08 Five nights at the Heiress Tour.
03:10 Exactly.
03:11 You know.
03:12 We know.
03:13 I do know.
03:14 We know this.
03:15 Have you been more than once or just once?
03:16 I've been more than once.
03:17 I've been five times.
03:18 Five nights at the Heiress Tour.
03:19 Five nights at the Heiress Tour.
03:20 Yeah, it's kind of perfect.
03:21 I feel like you'll make it there again.
03:23 Definitely.
03:24 Definitely.
03:25 Especially because on the second leg, she's going to Canada.
03:26 I know it was something that we really petitioned hard for.
03:29 I don't know if Justin Trudeau and I were the reason why she decided to do it.
03:35 No, obviously not.
03:37 But she's playing shows in Toronto, which is my neck of the woods.
03:41 So I feel like I've got to go and support.
03:44 Scandaval or Barbenheimer?
03:46 I mean, just Barbenheimer, right?
03:50 Biggest cinematic event of ever.
03:53 The Bear or Cocaine Bear?
03:57 The Bear.
03:58 The Bear.
03:59 Incredible show.
04:00 Calvin Klein model star.
04:01 I feel like you'd be a great Calvin Klein model.
04:04 I mean, you are a superhero.
04:06 Do we pitch this?
04:08 You can pitch it if you want.
04:10 I mean...
04:11 (upbeat music)
04:13 you
