The actor talked to iF Magazine about his stint on Last Comic Standing, divulging some details on what he's planning as host. He's taking the reins from Bill Belamy and Fearne Cotton. Sounds like a lot to live up to.

But Craig Robinson isn't worried that much. He's already making rounds of the country to see who's ready to attempt being the Last Comic Standing. He's also not letting his excitement show too much.

"I do not know what I'm doing here - I don't know why they wanted to get this show re-canceled," Robinson said, deadpan. "I just come out and do Craig. There's no pre-thought going into it. It's going out and having fun."

Last Comic Standing Executive Producer Jayson Dinsmore was right in adding that Craig's touch to the show is unique from previous hosts. From seeing this comedian on The Office, you can already tell how he'll handle the search for the country's best comics.

"The energy [from Craig] is very different from a traditional host. He brings a smarter sensibility to it like [he does] on The Office and in Hot Tub Time Machine," Dinsmore exclaimed.
