Sydney Sweeney’sSaturday Night Livehosting debut was a personal milestone.
During her SXSW panel on Tuesday, the actress shared thather March 2 appearance on the showwas “scary” but something she ultimately wanted to do.
“It was so scary my mouth dried up,” said Sweeney. “I am having panic attacks thinking of it. I wanted to do it because I think it’s important to do things that scare you, and the wholeSNLexperience was challenging and terrifying.”
TheAnyone But Youstar said that she learned to conquer her fears at a young age.

“I remember apologizing profusely, and I asked to leave,” she said. “It set me up to know that it’s ok to be nervous and turn it into excitement.”
It’s no surprise that Sweeney told PEOPLE that she hopes to hostSNLagain.
“I was so scared, but I had so much fun,” she told PEOPLE earlier this month. “I was so happy I did it, and I would love to do it again maybe one day because I feel like now I’m prepared and I can do it, and I know and I can expect what the process is like, and everyone’s so fun. It is just such a great group of people.”
During her first time on the show, Sweeney used her opening monologue to poke fun at rumors that she had an affair with herAnyone But Youco-starGlen Powell.
“That’s obviously not true. Me and my fiancé produced the movie together and he was there the entire shoot, and I just want to let everyone know that he’s the man of my dreams and we’re still together and stronger than ever,” said Sweeney.
After she asked for the camera to cut to her fiancéJonathan Davino, Powell was hilariously seen sitting in the audience.
