via a and a I'm they asked me to do that
the premiere magazine used to house the women in Hollywood a very
interesting evening cuz they had a to these for the parliament people there
and a %uh Adam Shankman the producer at the Oscars

from was there and Carol Burnett got up to give
I'm julie andrews awarding I was coming off the station Carroll said 12 because
Co Alexa so funny he should host the Oscars and check that was there and a
week later they called me and asked me to host the Oscars
and I called up Steve because the AST to do it together

course we should toast I said that's exactly why we're going to
to prove all those people well is very he's great so we're good I think we're
gonna have
a good show but the other thing to remember if you've been there was a band
at the Oscars several times
is that it's a ted's a television show
to entertain an audience at home but it's also
with the highest form achievement and the motion picture business
hats and heaving that's gonna change the lives of the people
so you play to the audience at home and you play to the audience in the room for
the people who were in the room
the Oscars is a very serious evening it's a very important meetings we hope
to have the balance between
to the reference for filmmaking that require some
Stephen I being complete insanity
was week when you come out knowing that
this three billion people however many it is in the world are watching what I
think about that yeah
I thank you anyone who starts looking around
on the internet about you you you you dry out more on the lunatic fringe then
then most people do you I don't know that you have meant well
you have many devotees love persuasions and that they love
things said about you and so I'm just gonna try
a little true or false on some others did you ever have a pet wolf
my ex-wife had a a dog was half wolf husky
so that's sort of true on aspin hurt
quick Chek are you
50 are you to send us questions
you some well are you descended from two people who came over on the Mayflower
but 50 points
someone gave me what does a SNES yeah yes I know someone saw her.
that I was yes and I was related to two people giving whose
I mean a wonderful piece sits back like they smoke about a parcel I can email
you those genealogy trees
name and my brother got really into this because the producers have a TV show
up did it with him with that we're doing this family
tree have people who are well known what have you did you grow going once
knows you know I would've played my cards complete despite
yeah we have a busboy at Studio 54
yes can shoot aa to see either
go away seventies disco fever its
a union job I moved to New York in 1979 in the heyday of studio 54 was over
studio 76 77 and they were kinda fading and I whenever
maybe they're having trouble getting people to work I don't know
and I went there and I got a job as a bus in the waiters
I was there was a waiter the busboys but the super-fit
a correction this types shorts on
no shirts they walk around picking up glasses everywhere
feed animal with bartenders
and then with the waiters and I was away virtually of
more this is just since I'm sorry the a couple more their off-the-wall things
do you have a back double on 30 rock
from the worst thing that the only thing we really have on you over
Fox News is that and where they wouldn't like you cuz you write for The
Huffington Post a
is that you have a back table who allows you to work fewer days and the other
people on 30 rock
so you can go out much the US Open
go to California doing there it says that
no do anything wrong with that
he's somewhat that someone told me
the SIR games ish
about you coolly care
you SoC this sets
we should be talking to the health care problem or no
Carter let me ask you about a couple other things
are you gonna run for office I didn't
over the winter but you're sick business is good this is this interesting thing
because
you know we live in a world I mean the answer to that question is a longer
complicated think that
but the I'm sorry because you give a politician's answer then thats
hanson et perhaps have practice yeah
know the a.m I'll the you know we live in a world today were
more and more the people that want to do that kinda job a little actual more more
who might do well job might be committed public
servants 21 nothing to do with that and
more and more lookin this town for example
you gonna be pretty well funded if you wanna run for certain jobs which is a
shame
because I work with public affairs organizations and
public policy advocacy group where
we've had understood very early on that
campaign finance reform is the linchpin all
the something that I should say many of the problems in this country today
if you've got to have tens of millions of dollars
money to run for a statewide office that's that's shaped I'm
there's a part of me that I would like to do that supporting me that I would
like to get involved in that
because in the end all that matters in the way we live our lives is what is the
law
people can advocate for this advocate for that but the people who rule the day
ago
change lawn make law there are coal-burning
enterprises in this country that release toxic you know fumes into the air and do
all these horrible things
and in my estimation but the truth is that I breaking any law
they paid for those laws they have those laws written the way they need to those
laws to be written and that's the law they
no one's breaking any laws the way you have change in our society is
either in the marketplace war in the government or some hybrid the two
and I've always wanted to run for officer
get involved in that kinda thing to have change law
in our society I can't always you really answer that question some
I never thought you so I would like to but the other problem is that in New
York has a lot of planes on the runway
New York I love entitlement in your a lot of people have got their
political careers mapped out 8 12-16 years down the road
