Promises, Promises star and Tony Award nominee Sean Hayes is getting prepped for his Tony Awards hosting gig right about now, but it’s not one he had anticipated:
“Believe me, in no way, shape or form did I have aspirations of being the Tony host. But CBS head Les Moonves asked me to do it, and he’s a smart man. I have to put faith in what he’s doing … I’m going to try to keep the evening moving as fast as possible. It’s a mistake to take it too seriously. I don’t believe in myself at all, so I try to model myself after anybody else.”
Does that mean he’ll wear the same gold lamé hot pants that Hugh Jackman donned? “That’s an easy question to answer — no.” He’s not too worried about the whole thing, anyway, telling the Times: “I’m just there to have a good time. If I’m great or if I bomb I don’t care.”
