I’m thrilled to be back hosting, especially now this is the perfect time to be in New York City, early March, no, it’s beautiful. “Is that Harry Styles? What are you doing here man?”Crowds screamed as Styles was shown in the audience wearing a T-shirt with a smiley face on it and the words “I hate you”.
