"When we spoke about this event he said 'you overestimate the number of friends I have' and I replied 'you underestimate the number of people that will line up to have fun at your expense.' It will be that kind of night, love and laughs."
"I am dreading this. I am truly dreading this. But if Tracy Morgan is coming, it'll be okay. Is Tracy coming?" said Alec Baldwin.
