New Interview: Carrie Underwood & Brad Paisley on Hosting CMA's!

The 42nd Country Music Awards are coming! CMA nominees Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley will co-host the show, airing November 12 on ABC -- and ET's got 'em!

"Hopefully you will not see any wardrobe malfunction," jokes Carrie.

"I would tune in just in case," says Brad.

"This is going to be tough because it's new territory; I've never hosted [an awards show]," reveals Carrie, who along with Brad follows in the footsteps of such previous hosts as Reba McEntire and Vince Gill.

"I think I'll call him, see if he's got any tips," says Carrie of Vince. "He's got good jokes."

"I'm excited about it," adds Brad. "It's going to be fun."

Previously, it was announced that Carrie's chart-topper Carnival Ride is nominated for Album of the Year, along with Kenny Chesney's Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, Alan Jackson's Good Time, George Strait's Troubadour and Brooks & Dunn's Cowboy Town.

Carrie is also up for Female Vocalist of the Year, up against Taylor Swift, Alison Krauss, Miranda Lambert and Martina McBride.

Paisley has the distinction of being nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year alongside Chesney, Jackson, Strait and Keith Urban -- as well as for Song of the Year ("Letter to Me") and nominations in two other categories.

Boy, I bet they are going to work long and hard on picking the dress or dresses since she will be seen so much. I bet it or they will be as beautiful as her dresses always are.

its hilarious. Brad says Carrie is a very funny girl and a lot of people dont know that side of her. And she said its because she sings serious songs, and Brad is like BHC is a serious song? I better be careful then! Carrie then warns him about catching him hosting with another girl.

They are adorable together!! This is the first time in 16 years, or something...that a male and female have hosted together. The last was Vince and Reba!!

Yea I saw someone post that Leann and Sara hosted last year, and they did but what I forgot was that so did many others, as there were different hosts per segment.

The CMA Awards featured a new format this year with multiple segment hosts sharing hosting duties throughout the broadcast. ABC Television personalities James Denton of “Desperate Housewives,” Kimberly Williams-Paisley of “According to Jim” and Kate Walsh of “Private Practice” split hosting duties with Country stars Sara Evans and Rimes.
