“Well, I’ll try to practice physical distance, which is not my strong point,” she joked of what to expect for the upcoming seasons.

“You know how hard the pandemic was for me? I was alone in a studio by myself I like to be around people.”

She added of getting up very close to her guests during interviews: “It’s not everyone’s favorite, but I’m sorry to those people. I think that first of all we’re always gonna be big on joy and laughter and feeling good, and that was something I always wanted to do, but I never thought we would launch in a pandemic, and trying to lean into the joy and the feel good and the comedy at that time was real weird and wacky.”

She also just revealed the original ending of 50 First Dates!
