"It reached the world," the talk show host said
of her well-received 2007 Oscarcast. "And I'm trying to get
world peace. So, that's my goal. My hope is by hosting the
Academy Awards, right afterward, we have world peace."
DeGeneres may have been exaggerating but there's no overstating
her enthusiasm for the upcoming March 2 gig.
"I know a lot of those people," she said of the Oscar audience.
"They're on my show a lot. I love the whole business. ... I get
to play with all those people in the audience and make people
happy, and, hopefully, relax them."
DeGeneres made her comments Friday while attending a Toys for
Tots charity event in Los Angeles.
