RELATED: Pokémon: Ash And Gary Were Surprisingly Similar From The Start Those contestants, I was very lucky to meet and understand like, 'Oh, we're all part of the same fan club, and we are all geeking out that we're here.' And that's a good thing! I want them to be the stars of the show, because we wouldn't have a show with them. When you get to know them, I realized I wanted to cheer all of them on, but more importantly, as the host, my job, I want to make them look good. I loved getting to know them I still keep in touch with them. Some of them are there because it reminded them of a special part in their life, that was connected to a big moment of their life. But when you get to meet and know these contestants, you get to know that some of them are there for a reason.

It's hard to explain, because, yeah, it's the show they're competing for $25,000, and that's great. I gotta tell you, it was a different energy. I was actually cheering on the people that were there, because everyone was so happy to be there. I wasn't cheering on the Silver Snakes specifically, or the Blue Barracudas. Now, as a kid, I cheered people on from my house. So I find that my habits as a kid come out as an adult. I gotta tell you, that's one thing about this really kind of weird world that I'm in where I'm hosting this show that I grew up watching.

You know, it's one of those things where I actually, when we started working on it, there was a point where I had to ask if it was okay to cheer people on. Regarding the contestants, did you find yourself rooting for any specific teams?

That's a talent, and that's who he is and what he's here for. I'm glad I'm so lucky that I got to be Cruz Ramirez, because what someone like him does, that's a skill. When I see him work, I realized that, for me, I'm very lucky to have been able to be part of the Pixar family. That's something that you realize that's a different skill. When you see him do characters, he really creates the characters. Me, playing Cruz Ramirez, I was doing myself! I was playing a version of myself with Cruz. When you see someone like Dee, that can switch from voice to voice to voice at the turn of a dime when it comes to certain characters, you realize the work and the talent that goes into it. You've done a little voice acting yourself! Did he give you any advice, or did you pick up any pointers by watching him work?ġ00%! Like I said, the voice actor, I think that that's one of those jobs that doesn't get enough coverage. Like I said, I was giddy when he calls my name out, and I knew it was him! It is that thing where you realize, 'Oh, he's a different person!' You kind of forget that he's Dee! You really do see it as Olmec. when it's time to become Olmec, he's Olmec, and the voice is different, and the voice is powerful. You meet Dee Bradley Baker, it's Dee's voice, and he's just being Dee, right? You're talking to him, you're like, 'Oh, yeah, this is Olmec!' Because you're talking to him as Dee, as himself, you kind of forget that he is Olmec. You know, if you're not a fan of animation or just voiceover, you don't realize the importance of the voice actor. It's kind of funny, because when you meet Dee - this is an appreciation that I think goes really unnoticed.
