He has just the right balance of whimsy and business, and he seems to know when to insert himself and when to leave things to others.

He did make a crack in the beginning about how "given the longevity of the other hosts" this would likely be his last, as well as his first, time. But he's a lot better than some of the other recent hosts, certainly better than Chris Rock from last year, who was terrible (imo).
