I feel crazy nervous.

But I do enjoy nervesI think theyre good.

Youre only nervous when you want to do your best.

Youre only nervous when you really care about something.

Youhosted the Tony Awardslast year.

The show has [almost] always had a host, and traditionally those hosts have done certain things.

There were a lot of years when the Grammys didnt have a host at all!

The biggest thing with the Grammys is that its a music show more than an awards show.

Have you gotten any input about what they want from you?Not at all.

I think they like what Ive done onThe Late Late Showand would like it to carry on.

Thats what well take a stab at do.

Will you incorporate Carpool Karaoke in some form?I dont think were going to.

The truth is, there really isnt time.

All of my [Grammys segments] are pretty short.

Those Carpools at their shortest are six minutes; the longest is 16 minutes.

Is there an artist that youre hoping wins big?Chance the Rapper!That albumis brilliant.

I just love every facet of his performances.

I love what hes saying.

He feels like a new wave.

If you look at the people that are nominated, its incredible.

The full list of performers is jaw-dropping.

Were really talking about the biggest artists in the world.

Im just excited to be in their orbit for a little while.

And then reunite One Direction and get them to terminate the show.

Lets play a Grammys edition of Would You Rather.

I would love to see Adele do that live.

We know fromInto the Woodsthat you could really sing.

Will viewers get to hear that come Grammys night?You know what?
