Melissa Villaseñor on hosting the pretaped Independent Spirit Awards without an audience: "My goal is that I make the camerapeople laugh"

The Hollywood Reporter

Villaseñor will host the Spirit Awards' first-ever weekday ceremony on Thursday on IFC. "I do love an audience," she says of her first-ever awards-hosting gig. "For me, that's the ultimate. The best thing is feeling the crowd and having the same energy and laughing together. This is tough, but my goal is that I make the camerapeople laugh. Really, I have a podcast (Laughing With Myself) where I just talk to myself about things, so I feel very comfy laughing at my own jokes."
