During the section, Seinfeld also gave an advice for the actress who will make her first hosting stint on the show. "Well, Dakota, hosting the show is thrilling, but when you host, you're totally powerless - you're told what to do, what to wear, you just have to submit," the comedian told her. "So great, it's like a regular shoot," she replied.

The 25-year-old actress has some experience in comedy, appearing on FOX's sitcom "Ben and Kate". Her latest release "Fifty Shades of Grey", which also stars Jamie Dornan, tops weekend Box Office after collecting an estimated $81.7 million domestically.
