“Wanda, I’ve worked with — she’s my good friend and we’ve done a movie together and we did a lot gearing up for the election and all this stuff,” Amy explained. “But Regina, I’ve never met. I was just a huge fan but we’ve been working together and it’s been a total blast.”
“We’re really having fun together and playing off each other,” she continued, adding that she thinks of her co-hosts as “comedy royalty.”
The I Feel Pretty star said that the hosting duties feel even more special given how difficult the last few years have been.
“I just feel like we’re coming out of this pandemic and I think we all have kind of a new lease on life and I’m like, I want to host the Oscars — I want to perform, I feel like telling jokes and, you know, getting to do it with Wanda and Regina is like beyond my wildest dreams,” she shared.
As for friends who have given her some tips, Amy said she’s spoken to Chris Rock and Jimmy Kimmel, both of whom have given her some “great advice.”
“‘Don’t black out, and be funny,’” she said of what they told her. “I said, ‘You know what? Don’t tell me what to do.’”
