Further, the promo shows Halsey shutting down the idea of Strong to start a 'girl's group' with Kim and her. Cecily asks Kim if she is nervous about hosting the show, to which she replies "Why? I don't have to write sketches do I?" to which Strong answers "No." Kim then asks if she has to memorise lines but then is told by Strong that she will have cue cards. Kim then says "Everyone else won't look as good as me will they?" and concludes by calling hosting job easy. "This is so easy." she quips.
