One fan responds by saying they agree, and usually the host has talent Yahoo! shares.
“I had the same exact question as soon as I saw that, and I still have no answer. I’m sure Kanye will be involved somehow. I’m not sure I want to waste my time with that episode,” the fans say according to Yahoo!. “And might I point out, the hosts usually have some kind of talent. Other than being famous for being famous.”
Does she need to have talent?
It is important to note that hosts come from all walks of life. For example, Elon Musk certainly wasn’t singing and dancing during his time as the host. This is why every week there is a musical guest.
