During a quick Facebook Live chat earlier today, James Corden took a break from rehearsing for his upcoming hosting gig at the 2016 Tony Awards to dish on how he's preparing, who he's most excited to see and how his pre-performance jitters are coming along.

When asked by a fan if he's feeling excited for the main event, The Late Late Show host admitted, "I am only nervous. I feel zero excitement that is true, it's just nerves."

Aw, James! And on another serious (albeit more positive) note, the beloved comedian was questioned by another Facebook fan on what he loves about his show-hosting job in Los Angeles.

"My favorite part is I get to be in one place and be with my family," she answered while looking into the camera.

Corden was also quizzed by several fans about how he's going to behave the big night of in front of Broadway's most famous faces.

First off, Corden explained, Barbara Streisand is the star he is most looking forward to seeing in person for the very first time and he confessed that once he makes his way up to the legendary star, he's going to introduce himself and then "probably pass out."

Let's hope the big intro takes place after Sunday night's big show!
