OF AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS ON ABC
Timothy Olyphant stars in “Justified: City Primeval”
Q: As you head toward your ninth season of hosting “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” are you still enjoying it? A: I absolutely love it! It’s been a lot of fun, and it’s always home base for me. It feels to me like it will continue to be on for a very, very long time, and it always will be my Number One, though it feels like “Dancing With the Stars” – on which I was co-host and am now host – is making a comeback. Q: Did you enjoy being involved in PBS’ “A Capitol Fourth” as the special’s host recently? A: I saw the list of people they had (as musical guests), and I thought, “Oh, this is great! I’ll be able to hang with a lot of people I know for several days, celebrating.” I was less worried about the number of people who would be there (as on-site audience members) and more concerned with my own emotions over how cool it was to be a part of that and to be able to be on that stage. Q: Your friend and “America’s Funniest Home Videos” predecessor Tom Bergeron hosted “A Capitol Fourth” multiple times. What do you make of that?

The adventures of lawman Raylan Givens continue in FX’s ‘Justified: City Primeval’
A: All I can say is that following in Tom Bergeron’s footsteps in any way is an incredible honor. I’ve always considered him to be the best host on TV, and typically, it’s when he gives up a job that a job becomes available for me. It was obviously a little different with “Dancing With the Stars,” with Tyra (Banks) coming in between the two of us, but it’s an honor. He’s someone you want to model your career after.
