Billie Eilish opened up about her experience hosting SNL this past weekend
, whoosh, it was the most crazy s–t ever… Saturday was, like, you know, one of the best days of my life, it was so much fun and so amazing and surreal and ridiculous,” Eilish told Stern about her most extensive acting gig to date.

“That’s not my world, so I don’t know what the f–k I’m doing,” she said, despite getting almost universally high marks for her hosting duties. “I feel like I am terrible, like I suck.” She tagged Wednesday’s table read as the most exhausting portion of the week, detailing the process of reading more than 40 scripts alongside the cast to help winnow the week’s best bits.
