“I was able to enjoy it but of course I was nervous and live TV is stressful but by the time you do the rehearsals you get comfortable.
“I managed to party a little bit. There’s a Saturday Night Live after party usually. We had to fly to LA the next day.
“People like Seth Rogen was there and Paul Rudd, I was starstruck yeah,” he admitted.
Speaking to Lottie Ryan on 2FM’s Early Early Breakfast Show Hozier revealed his US tour has been hectic, but he’s loving every minute.
