>> James: WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE BACK WITH ANNALEIGH ASHFORD AND KENAN THOMPSON.
NOW KENAN YOU ARE BACK HOSTING THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS,
TOMORROW NIGHT, NBC K ON E! WHAT CAN WE BE MOST EXCITED
ABOUT? >> I THINK IT'S JUST A CHANCE
FOR THE PEOPLE TO SEE THEIR FAIFERLTS.
THERE IS A LOT OF THEM GOING TO BE IN THE BUILDING.
WE'RE GOING TO HONOR SOME REAL LEGEND, LIKE SHANIA TWAIN IS
GOING TO GET AN AWARD AND RYAN --
>> James: OUR SHOW HAS BEEN NOMINATED, WE NEVER WIN, NEVER
WILL. >> YOU'RE GOING TOCWIN.
YOU'RE BOTH HER CHOICES. >> James: WELL, THAT'S
ACTUALLY ALL I CARE ABOUT. KENAN YOU ALSO HOSTED THE EMMYS.
WE REHEARSED THAT SKETCH BEFORE THE SHOW STARTED.
YOU WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT LATE-NIGHT HOST RIGHT?
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) >> James: THERE'S ONE OR TWO
SPOTS OPENING UP BABY. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WOULD BE
INTERESTED IN? >> IT COULD BE, I FEEL LIKE THE
MONEY IS IN DAYTIME, YOU KNOW? THAT'S WHEN OPRAH WAS DOING HER
LIVE FOR WORLD. >> James: I UNDERSTAND.
>> BUT I THINK THIS SHOW IS GREAT, IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE,
WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU WHENEVER THAT DAY APPROACHES OR WHATEVER.
BUT WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. >> James: THERE'S ANYTHING
YOU COULD DO. YOU HOSTED THE HOLIDAY CRITICS
ASSOCIATION FILM AWARDS EARLIER. ANNALEIGH.
DID YOU ENJOY THAT? >> ENJOY IS A WORD YOU COULD
USE. >> James: GO ON.
>> THE FIRST PART OF HOSTING THE SHOW, YOU KNOW.
YOU HOSTING THE TONIES IS ONE OF THE MOST FAVORITE THINGS THAT
HAPPENED. BUT THAT FIRST 15 MINUTES IS
LIKE AN EPIC THING TO KIND OF GET THROUGH PEN WOW, MY WORK IS
DONE, I'M GOING TO SLIGHTLY LISTEN ABOUT MAKING A JOKE ABOUT
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I'LL HANG OUT WITH THE BAND AND
WE'LL MAKE SOMETHING UP. WE'LL GO WITH THE FLOW.
SOMEBODY PUSHED ME OUT ON THE STAGE AND I WAS LIKE HEY GUYS
HOW'S IT GOING? I WENT TO THE BAND AND THEY WERE
GONE. THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
I MADE A BUNCH OF JOKES ABOUT BREAD AND CILIAC DISEASE.
IT DIDN'T GO WELL. >> James: HAVE YOU HAD TO BE
IN A POSITION LIKE THAT KENAN, YOU HAVE TO FILL OR VAMP?
GO ON. >> NOT REALLY, I'VE BEEN LUCKY.
>> IT'S LIKE A FEVER DREAM. >> James: ANYONE WHO IS
HOSTING LIKE A LIVE TV SHOW TO ME AND THEY SAY TO ME, WHAT
SHOULD I DO? YOU WEAR AN EAR PIECE SAYING
IT'S LIVER. JUST THROW THEM UNDER THE BUS.
BECAUSE IF SOMEONE GOES YOU NEED TO FILL FOR TWO MINUTES BECAUSE
THEY'RE NOT READY, YOU GO, PLEASE WELCOME, YOU TWO, AND
WALK OFF! WALK OFF!
BECAUSE THEN NO ONE GOES, WHAT'S HE DOING?
HE'S LOST HIS MIND. >> I FEEL THAT WAY TOO.
>> James: THERE YOU GO BONO, GET ON.
ANNALEIGH, YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HOME REMODEL.
RIGHT? >> YES.
>> James: ALWAYS A NIGHTMARE. ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN BEFORE
CHRISTMAS? >> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
IT IS NOT GOING TO BE ACHRISTMAS MIRACLE.
OUR HOUSE IS NOT DONE AND IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
IT STILL DOESN'T HAVE WALLS. WE HAVE PIPES, THAT'S EXCITING
AND IT HAS A ROOF. JUST NO WALLS.
SO WE'RE LIKE A GHOST ALL THE TIME JUST WALKING THROUGH WALLS.
>> James: IN RETROSPECT DO YOU NOT THINK IT WAS A MISTAKE
TO START THIS REMODEL AND THEN SHOULD YOU NOT HAVE STARTED THE
REMODEL BEFORE YOU MOVED TO NEW YORK FOR NINE MONTHS AND HAD IT
DONE THEN? >> I WILL BE NOW LIKE BLINK IT'S
HAPPENED, YOU COME BACK AND IT'S DONE.
I JUST HOPE IT HAS WALLS. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE
A GHOST IN MY OWN HOAX. >> DO YOU NEED WALLS?
>> DO YOU NEED WALLS? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD.
>> IT'S REALLY AIRY. >> James: OPEN PLAN, LOST.
>> DON'T NEED WALLS MAN. REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION
FOR ANY OF OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> Reggie: YES, I DO. TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO...
(DRUM ROLL) EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU ON THE
COUCH. >> THAT'S US TOO.
>> Reggie: IF YOU WERE COMMISSIONED TO CREATE A
POPSICLE STAND WHICH DIMENSIONS WOULD YOU CREATE AND WHAT WOULD
THE DIMENSIONS OF THE STAND BE? >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FIRST?
>> OKAY, I WOULD -- IT WOULD BE CALLED DREAMCICLES IT WOULD BE
LITTLE UNICORNS WITH RAINBOW BRAIDS AND THEY WOULD THAT MAGIC
LITTER CAN YOU EAT BECAUSE THEN YOU COULD GET TO POOP IT OUT.
>> GLITDER POOP. >> James: UPON SICKLE WISE
WHERE ARE WE AT? >> I WOULD HAVE THE FACE OF A
MOUSE WITH LITTLE BUBBLE GUM NOSE AND BLACK EARS ON THE TOP I
WOULD CALL IT MICKEY. AND THAT WOULD BE MY BIG HIT.
AS FAR AS THE SHAPE OF THE ACTUAL STAND ITSELF, I WANT TO
SAY SOMETHING OUT OF A TIM BURTON FILM.
SO IT WILL BE KIND OF GORILLA-ISH, ARCHED, WEIRD
FRAME, STAND OUT IN THE CROWD AND LOTS OF TRIANGLES.
>> James: I LOVE BOTH OF THESE, IT'S NOT FOR ME TO SAY.
REGGIE. >> Reggie: THOSE ARE CORRECT
ANSWERS. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
PLEASE THANK OUR INCREDIBLE GUESTS, ANNALEIGH ASHFORD AND
KENAN THOMPSON! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A
PERFORMANCE FROM BAZZI!
