Queen Latifah is getting ready to host the American Music Awards on Monday night. The last and only time she hosted was back in 1995 as part of a trio that included Tom Jones and country singer Lorrie Morgan.

“It’s been a long time, but it was exciting then and It’s exciting now,” Latifah tells me. “I’m just a little bit different person, but you know, we still gotta make get it popping like we did then.”
