“I got to work with Jay Pharroh who’s a cast member there,” Curry explains. “Heidi Gardner was here. Ego Nwodim was here. I did a skit with her, so I know all about it. I’ve been to [SNL’sfamed home] Studio 8H.”
“LeBron James, he hosted this award show back in 2007, after losing in the NBA Finals,” Curry told the ESPYs audience Wednesday. “So yes, you guessed it, this feels better, this feels better.”

Poking fun at the Los Angeles Lakers star happened to be Curry’s favorite moment of the night.
“Because I got a laugh and you never know,” he said, referring to the anxiety of hosting. “You practice against people that have some vested interest in the jokes or the process, and so they’ll give you the laughs and all that, but you never really know until you get to the full audience, how they respond. And the first joke landed pretty well. I got a reaction and then I got to settle in. It was pretty nice.”
