“It’s like [the] first day at school and I’m the new kid at school. And I’m like, ‘I don’t know who to hang out with,’” she said.

“It’s amazing that I’m hanging out with the coolest kids up here,” she continued. “Because, I mean, you have just been amazing from the beginning from day one when this was announced. And I’ve never done this before a studio audience, so this energy is unreal.”

She went on to say she was excited about working alongside her co-hosts Amanda Kloots, Jerry O’Connell, Sheryl Underwood and Akbar Gbajabiamila.

“People were asking me like, ‘How does it feel?’ And I’m like, ‘You know, as long as I have this team, I feel so safe and secure,’” she said. “And I know that we’re going to have some disagreements, but we’re going to be respectful always and we’re going to have a seriously good time.”

Natalie also appeared in an opening skit where she got lost on her way to the show’s set, leading to a run-in with Daniel Craig as James Bond and getting stuck in Squid Game.
