“Have…a…plan. Have several. You have to try to strike a balance between keeping the people of the room entertained and keeping the people at home from thinking you’re nuts.The instinct is to play to the room, because otherwise the audience there gets really bored and restless. Me with my theater background, I played to the back row of the Kodak, which has 3,500 people. To the people at home, it could come off as a little over-the-top. I’ve never seen [the whole thing]. But I felt like I made a rookie mistake.”
