Invited political controversy on every one of them, and loved every minute of it.

Floyd:

He was on from time to time because he was a very radical person with radical views. He was a Republican and then I would have someone with a real strong Democrat view on.

To find a way to make it fun. If you do the preparation and you get some good ideas, it’s fun. When I’m having a good time, people say “that was really good.” And that’s key for me. When I’m not having a good time it’s just not as good, it’s not terrible but… That’s the goal for me, to remember that hosting an award show should be fun.
