There certainly have. HAHA. And I think at the top of the list would be Carly Rae Jepsen. And why is because she just couldn't really form an opinion on anything. I mean, it was so bad that even Jesse Tyler made fun of her the next week on the show!

Oh, I'd be out in the first round! HAHAHA. I need a few months to rehearse, not a few hours! I was rehearsing for something, and when I hit the 6 hour mark, I thought to myself "Would i want to be on national television right now? Hell no!"

These kids are extraordinary at what they do. It's the honest truth! HAHAHA!

I would first start her off in creative dance. That's really where you go in with kids and teach them to shake to rhythms, they play games, doing all kinds of things with spacial awareness. And then I would just be supportive. Be willing to take them to dance lessons, go to recitals, nurture their spirit.

Yeah, I don't know the exact timeline. The only thing I know for sure is that they get Thursday off, and they have 8 hours, usually 2 days, where they do a run-through of wardrobe and costuming, and they still have press & publicity to do on days they are supposedly "off." On Sunday & Monday they get their first time to develop their packages, learning it for the very first time. And then on Monday, after they have that, they are still working on the group number, and they only get a total of 6 hours with a choreographer for the duet. And they get about 8 hours total on the group number. And on Tuesday, they have "dry blocking" where they get 15 minutes on that stage, where the director and lighting will decide what angles for the routine, which lights will change and when, and what camera angle will be used. And then the day of, they will get to run through a few times, they will have a dress rehearsal, and within 1/2 hour to an hour of that rehearsal - it's showtime.

I do think she's the best host, and she was robbed at the Emmys this year. She was nominated the last 2 years and didn't win. I think she's the best host on television today. And certainly I love Jane Lynch who just won, but a game show, it's very different than a live show, to host a live show is a skill and Cat handles it beautifully.
