NEW YORK — ''The Producers'' star Matthew Broderick says he hopes the audience at the Tony Awards show he's co-hosting with Nathan Lane doesn't pelt them with tomatoes.
``Hopefully we'll be amusing and not have people throw vegetables at us,'' Broderick tells Time magazine in its issue on newsstands Monday.
Broderick and Lane co-star in ``The Producers,'' which is up for 15 awards at the June 3 show. When they were asked to host the 55th edition of the show, the nominations hadn't been announced.
''(It) wasn't like, `Oh, you've got 15 nominations, why don't you also host it?''' Broderick says.
He says he's aware that some viewers might root against a ``Producers'' juggernaut.
Anyway, Broderick says, a clean sweep by ``The Producers'' is impossible because he's up against Lane in the Best Actor in a Musical category.
``I'm pretty sure he'll win,'' Broderick says of his stagemate.
