You've also filled in a few times to host "Live with Kelly and Ryan."

Yes! Yes, yes, yes.

Would you ever want to host your own talk show and take it to TV?

Oh, my gosh. I would love to. Yes, absolutely. I would love to do all of those things. I think again, like, if [there's] anything that this time of being alive has taught us [it's that] this is our one life. This is not a practice life and everything.

There are lots of things I want to try. I would love trying to be a host at some point. I would love to — I, again, I'm doing this show "Smallwood" coming out on CBS, and it's a multi-cam sitcom. I've wanted to do a sitcom my entire life, and I'm terrified. I've never done a sitcom. I'm so excited. This summer, I got to do a Christmas movie for CBS called "Christmas Takes Flight" that's coming out soon. I've always wanted to do a rom-com. I've always wanted to be the lead of a rom-com. I've always wanted to play a pilot.

So I'm just always about like, "Oh, my gosh, I've never done that before. I'd like to try that. And I'd like to try that," which I think leads me [to] why I love to travel so much, and why it's something that I want to instill in my children. [It's] a curiosity. A curiosity for trying new things, even though it might be hard, or even though it might be stressful, or scary, or you might not be good at it. It's just worth it.

So you got to get to this virtual meetup. There's a bunch of different ones with different topics, with different experts and different people all through the month of November, so that we can gear all you mamas up and get these mommy muscles stronger in time for the holidays, so you can do it. So that you can set boundaries, have a little self-care, come back from the holidays and not say, "Ugh, I need a vacation from my vacation," and to spend some awesome quality time with your kids and your family and seeing the world, seeing the country.

You get to talk to so many different people between hosting your own podcast and co-hosting with Ryan Seacrest. What question does no one ask you that you wish they would? Because you've been on my side of it.

A lot.

I know it's kind of a tough question.

No, I'm thinking about it. Hmm. That's a great question. That's a very good question, Kelsie! You stumped me. I'm thinking, "What would I have want ... What would I want to be asked?" Huh.

I don't know. "How many hours did you sleep last night?" No.

Not much, right? No, I'm just kidding.

No, my God. Never. "Who do you want to be when you grow up?" "Boxers or briefs?" No, I'm kidding.

We can come back to it!

No, I'm just trying to think of what would be good for you to ask me that is not really — I guess, "What else would I ... Where in the world do I want to go?" New Zealand. I'm going to put that out there. I'm going to put that out there. I really want to go to New Zealand. There.

I've heard it's amazing. Everyone I know that's been there says it's beautiful.

Really want to go there very badly.
