how do these guys not have anxiety?

Narcissism?
Relentless practice?

I get anxious just watching this!

Frankly, it has to be narcissism. It's not quite right to be so at ease with something like 50 million people watching you speak live.

I mean, you don't get to a point in your life where you think "I'm better and more capable than everyone else in this country" without being narcissistic.

not better than everybody else, just better than the person who you fight the contest with...

having been in quite a few interesting situations myself, the trick i find most useful is to just reduce it to the fact that all interactions are really just you vs. someone else, one at a time...

the ability to get over worrying about who's watching just takes practice...
