Sunday's Grammy Awards will feature LL Cool J's second turn as host for the big show, but even this seasoned professional gets a few butterflies now and again.
ET caught up with the NCIS: Los Angeles star in a free moment as he perused the Grammy Gift Lounge, presented by MTG, featuring signature headwear by New Era, Gibson guitars, Solstice sunglasses, M London handbags (courtesy of KeepAmerica.com) and Simone I. Smith Jewelry . Although LL exuded a calm, cool demeanor, inside he's a bit nervous about stepping onto the stage come Sunday.

"Of course [I get nervous]," LL revealed, adding that fear isn't always a bad thing. "It feels good to know that it's a challenge that you accept and you can embrace."
So what's his strategy to combat his nerves?
