Not only that, but she's in a show this season for which she will most likely (at least I hope) receive a nomination.
She wouldn't have time to rehearse even if she doesn't get nominated.
She's usually at least a presenter. Either way, I'm sure we'll see her there this year.
I like what they did a few years ago, when Bernadette & Tom opened the show and introduced all of the presenters (there was really no official host).

Well just because she is in a show doesn't mean she can't be a host. Many times those in a current show have hosted - Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick are a recent example. I'm not sure if they would go back to a no host program like they did in 1999 because I don't think it was received very well. Though I personally thought it was fine. I guess we'll just have to wait and see ...

True, Nathan and Matthew were in the show when they hosted (I forgot about that). LOL
Still, Bernadette wasn't exactly praised after she hosted last year. I don't think it was all her fault; the pre-written banter that she and Gregory had to say was ridiculous.
I would love to see Martin Short host the Tony's with either Bernadette or Steve Martin.....although Steve is hosting the Oscars this year, so who knows.

Yeah, I was going to mention about last year too.  I think it was a lot the script they were given and they had some good moment but you are right, overall, they were not well received. I think they were both a little too sedate. I like your idea about BP and Martin Short. They would balance each other out well.

the script wasn't the greatest but a funny moment was when her tennis bracelet went flying off her arm and then she swung it in circles. can you just see the looks on security's faces when they saw that?

yes that was a funny moment and obviously completely unscripted which allowed her natural humor to come through instead of the general crap the writers wrote for them.

I like when Gregory was saying how he and Bernadette know each other for about 40 years & she cut him a look and then started holding up 5 fingers making it seem like she's not that old. LOL I don't think that was planned either (for her to do that I mean).
Unscripted, natural humor is always the best.

Yeah that was funny! I also like when he was mentioning that they had stars on their doors and she was like "Wait what? You got a star???" Small but comic!
