Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, hosts of the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards, star in a enjoyable and playful promotional video for the 2023 ACMs that was launched on Tuesday (April 18). The 45-second spot, titled “First Time,” performs off the truth that Parton is an skilled host and that is Brooks’ first time as a number.
The scene takes place in Parton’s dressing room. Parton asks, “Are you ready for our big night?”
“Yeah, I’m a little nervous to be honest,” Brooks responds. “First time and all.”
Parton seeks to reassure her skittish companion by saying “Oh, don’t be nervous, I’m going to be right here with you.”
Brooks asks, “You’ve done this before, right?”
Parton responds, “Oh, I’ve done this before. Plenty of times – plenty of people.”
This, in fact, makes Brooks much more nervous. “Really?”
“And I personally am going to make this the best night of your life,” Parton guarantees.
After a beat, Brooks asks, “We’re talking about hosting the ACM award show, right?”
Parton and Brooks deal with the script’s comedian double-entendres like the professionals they’re. The spot concludes with Parton saying, “If you have any problem, you just look at me.”
“Yes ma’am,” Brooks responds.
“Up here,” Parton reminds him.
