Do your preparation. If there are announcements to be made before the show, familiarize yourself with the list so that you can briefly reel them off before the show instead of reading and sounding like a robot. If you don't know the acts, ask them to give you a maximum of three things that you can use for their introductions. Find out if they'll allow you to spice up the intros with funny anecdotes they might reveal about themselves. Be sure you know the proper pronunciation of the act names and that your own material is memorized so that you can really sell it and keep the energy up.
Take a cue from Hugh Jackman at the Oscars and open the show with your own showstopping number. If you are sure your number will be fantastic then go for it! This will set a positive tone for the night and put the audience in a fabulous mood, making them more receptive to the rest of the acts,
Segue from the thunderous applause of your opening number to the introduction of your first act. If you are naturally funny then be funny, if no--no worries, just be yourself. Things are bound to come up that are funny anyway. Try to personalize your jokes without insulting anyone. This will ensure that those in the crowd who know the performers will feel included and will enhance their enjoyment of the show because they will feel 'in on' the joke.
Be prepared to fill time. A performer may not make a costume change, or simply get stage fright. In any case, use the time to interact with the audience. Knowing the crowd will help. If all else fails, ask if anyone is celebrating an anniversary. Congratulate the couple, and segue into finding the couple who has been married the longest. Ask them for advice, or make your own jokes about marriage. You can also use these bits if a performer has frozen on stage.
Seize opportunities for humor. Every live show inadvertently has unexpected moments, most of which can be used for improvised jokes if you pay attention. A baby in the audience that will not stop crying, or an extremely loud ambulance heard echoing throughout the theater, even an audience member getting up to use the bathroom while you are emceeing are all gifts. Use them for fodder and stay alert!
Have fun and stay calm. Breathe and just remember if you are having fun, the audience will be having fun. Your mood will be contagious. Remember too that when things go wrong, they are not really going wrong, they are providing you with funny material! With that mindset you should have no worries. Keep loose!

How to Find the Absolute Path in a WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Click on any link on a Web page using a relative path. Provided the link is properly coded, the page opens. Highlight the URL in the address bar of your Web browser and copy it by pressing 'Ctrl-C' to copy the link's absolute path. If the link doesn't work, you may still be able to get the absolute path.
Examine the URL in the address bar and fix any obvious typos, like a double 'http,' a 'wwww' instead of 'www' or two slashes instead of one. If the link automatically redirected you to an error page, open a text editor and paste the code there to examine it. Once a typo is fixed, the link should work, giving you the absolute path.
Copy the URL in the address bar of the source page. Paste this in a new line in your text editor. If it ends in 'html,' delete everything after the last '/.' If it ends in 'com' or '.org' or any other domain extension, type a '/' at the end and then type the rest of the relative path. For example, if the main URL was 'http://.example.com/page.html," and the relative path was '/folder/page.html,' you should now have 'http://example.com/folder/page.html." Copy and paste this into your Web browser address bar to see if it works. If it does, you've found the link's absolute path.
Click on other links in the source Web page and examine the URLs in the address bar. Websites, like the files on your computer, are usually stored in folders and sub-folders. Every folder begins and ends with a '/.' If a developer has mistyped a folder name, correct it and try the link again. If the developer has moved a page, you may be able to determine in which folder the page you are looking for belongs. For example, if the bad link includes an '/images/' folder, while and the other images are in an '/image/' folder, you can simply delete the 's' to get the correct path.
Searching and Absolute Paths
Right-click the clickable link in any search result. Select 'Copy Link Address' from the drop-down menu. Paste this into any text editor or word processor. In some cases, this may be an absolute path already, such as 'http://www.example.com." Other times, including links that result in direct download rather than in opening a Web page, the absolute path is embedded in confusing HTML code such as this: 'https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=13&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CFjACOAo&url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ffoldera%2Ffolderb%2Ffolderc%2Fpage.html&ei=8Sr1U4mKMIHnoASo2oGYBw&usg=AFQjCNGBK_IZOD0O82_VAYqiuSVJXMM-7w&sig2=9PGvoSSlvcEtSiPgHLlNPw."
Highlight and copy the HTML code that displays beneath the clickable link in the search engine. Paste this in a separate line in your text editor. Often, the path is short enough that it is displayed in its entirety, such as 'http://example.com/page.html." In this case, your work is done. However, if the path is too long, only the beginning is displayed, with the last part of the path cut off, such as 'http://example.com/foldera/folderb/fold."
Highlight everything in the clickable link code up to the last word that corresponds to the absolute path, and press 'Ctrl-V' to replace it with the clean code of the absolute path you copied. In this example, this includes everything up to 'fold,' leaving you with 'http://example.com/foldera/folderb/folderc%2Fpage.html&ei=8Sr1U4mKMIHnoASo2oGYBw&usg=AFQjCNGBK_IZOD0O82_VAYqiuSVJXMM-7w&sig2=9PGvoSSlvcEtSiPgHLlNPw."
Delete everything after the 'html.' This leaves you with 'http://example.com/foldera/folderb/folderc%2Fpage.html."
Highlight every '%2F' and press '/' on your keyboard. This is just HTML code for a slash. You now have the absolute path for the link: 'http://example.com/foldera/folderb/folderc/page.html."
