This year’s show will also mark Michael’s second time hosting the event. He shared that he learned a lot from his first experience and is excited to bring that knowledge to this year’s show. Additionally, he also emphasized the importance of being present in the moment and enjoying the energy of the crowd.

Jenna: Are you approaching this year any different now that you’ve had that experience of your first time hosting this huge event?

Michael: You know, I kind of thought a lot about that. It was like, oh, gosh, what am I going to do differently this year? Then I think I kind of stopped thinking about that because that was what was so great about last year. […] Us being able to connect and just have fun and go off with the crowd. And so I thought, you know, Michael, don’t plan too much, just have fun. And that’s where I’m going. I’m going with the fun of it all, I think, because now I know what to expect.
