In a statement host Short said, "When they first asked me to be the host of Broadway on Broadway, I thought my publicist was stuttering. Having said that, I’m thrilled to join all my fellow hard-working stage performers at this great event. As I always say, performing in a Broadway musical is never easy. But if you cast it properly, there’s someone in the chorus who is.”
