Gram Ponante talks with comedian (and 2015 AVN Awards show host, now airing on Showtime) about comedy, drinking, promiscuity, addiction, and Massachusetts.
"Shortly after I talked with Danielle, she became absolutely the best host of the AVN Awards in my personal 10-year history of attending. (This was not because I'd talked to her; I just happened to be there slightly before she went onstage.) Most comedians just don't know how to walk the line between the audience at home and the one at whatever Vegas casino convention center the awards are staged in. Either they watch too little porn and appear like an outsider or they watch too much porn and they come off as crass. Porn stars want to be seen as elegant and sophisticated. They don't need to be reminded of their movie titles and what a cheap joke that is. It's the same with porn consumers. So, knowing this, Danielle was fantastic.
