But the new online footage features Franco and Hathaway,as John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John,performing the movie musical number.

Meanwhile,the duo reiterated they won’t make nasty jokes at anyone’s expense. In an interview,Anne Hathaway said,“I can guarantee that if you’re looking for someone to call people out,we’re not your hosts. I think that humor is really difficult to pull off,and I’m not particularly adept at it. I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it. Also,I don’t mean to sound overly serious,but I am the youngest host in history and I have no business being cynical or calling anyone out. I certainly haven’t earned the right to do that.”
