The key is turning his insecurities into energy
But on Friday, as he walked onto the stage for a practice run, the writers, stagehands and onlookers gradually fell away
"I usually have to be here at 8:30 in the morning, so I'm up real early and I work out with my trainer Crystal would give occasional reports to the audience that Palance was performing increasingly unlikely stunts, such as bungee-jumping from the Hollywood sign Roach responded with an unmiked, impromptu speech from his seat But first he had to get comfortable on his "It depends on the show
When he hosts the Oscars for the eighth time, he'll serve as master of ceremonies, jokester, writer and maybe even song-and-dance man
The reason? As a child growing up on Long Island, he'd rehearse Oscar speeches in the bathroom mirror while holding his toothbrush like an award
The same evening, Crystal introduced 100-year-old motion-picture pioneer Hal Roach, the producer of the "Our Gang" shorts
The comedian emerged from his dressing room Friday taking baby steps down the corridor leading to the Kodak Theatre stage, his glistening black formal footwear shining up from the cuffs of his blue jeans
"Just breaking in my new shoes," he said as a caravan of joke writers, stagehands and assistants followed his slow progress The morning before the telecast, he tries to take it easy
Little traditions like that help keep him grounded, he said Crystal Again Steps Into Oscar's Shoes
Feb 28, 1:57 PM EST
As host of the Oscars, Billy Crystal will spend more than three hours Sunday trying to keep an audience of millions on their toes "
While he's quick-witted and chatty onstage, Crystal is mellow and contemplative backstage You really pray that something bad happens
"It came back to me and I said, 'It makes sense he got his start in silent films,'" Crystal remembered
â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?

After that, he depends on instinct and improv to keep things interesting
But in an earlier interview with The Associated Press, he talked openly about his preparation on the big day You can't plan to improvise
A small detail, but an important one
Luckily that major award came near the top of the show, giving Crystal a running gag for the rest of the night
Soon it was just Crystal, standing in his shiny shoes, alone at center stage once again The rest of the time is just quiet and I sort of sit and stare at my stuff, and then I hang out with the guys "If I don't have a little bit of dry-mouth before I go out onstage, I get concerned
In the past, he has described himself as the live telecast's "jockey "
Although he's known for singing comical medleys about the top-nominated films, and showing clips of famous movies with inserts of himself making wisecracks, that only carries him through the first 10 minutes of the show oscars
That one came to him on the spur of the moment, but he also has a team of writers huddled in a little room behind the stage where they watch the show and try to tailor his next introduction with a fresh joke and funny
"I do part of the run-through, because I don't want to do all the jokes You just try to stay as loose as you can He doesn't like to discuss the show when he's in the midst of actually preparing for it "
Crystal, 55, said he has one tradition whenever he appears at the Oscars: He carries a toothbrush in his jacket pocket
"If you don't have a little nerves, then something is wrong with you," he told reporters when he was first announced as the host It just has to be there," he said Fear is a good motivator org
"You hope something good happens We do stretching and get ready, then I leave and I'm here "
His favorite surprises: When his "City Slickers" co-star Jack Palance, who had just won best supporting actor in 1992, tried to prove his 72-year-old virility by dropping to the stage floor to do one-armed push-ups It's something he's done since his first hosting duty in 1990
