McCarthy admits there’s one celebrity she’s nervous about meeting.

Close has earned five Oscar nominations throughout her 33 year career, as well as garnering two Golden Globe awards, two Emmys and three Tony Awards for her theatre and musical roles.
The Hollywood Reporter’s editor Elizabeth Guide, says, "It’s the amazing performances she’s had of late on cable, which has brought her back in the public consciousness, and the fact she’s been active in community fundraising and a real industry leader." Former winners of the honor include Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep and Barbara Walters.
