Tracy Morgan is such a funny host! The tone of the 2013 Billboard Music Awards was a far cry from last year’s hosted by Modern Family‘s Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell. Tracy, 44, managed to make just enough jabs and funny jokes that it totally balanced out but he did bash country cutie Taylor Swift.
Tracy took the stage to host the show and he couldn’t help but make fun of some of our favorite celebs. Like most hosts of an awards show, he jabbed at Taylor. He said, “be careful of dating these girls, because they’ll write a song about you!” They camera then panned to Taylor who laughed and nodded her head. At least she was a good sport about it!
Then Tracy went on to say if a guy even forgets to open a car door for Taylor, she’ll write about it! That’s not necessarily true, but we think it was definitely funny.
Tracy spoke about hosting the show a few days before the big day and he said he wasn’t nervous at all.
“If I say, ‘I’m nervous,’ then I’m going to be nervous,” he said. “If I’m excited, then I can’t wait for it to start. People who are nervous can’t wait for it to be over. Nervousness is negative to me. Excitement is the way I like to use it.”
When asked who he was going to make fun of, he said: “Some people are going to be in the line of fire.” That couldn’t have ended up being more true.
“I’m not looking forward to making fun of anybody, because these are all the best of the best in the world,” he said. “I’m just going to be excited to be there.”
