So what's the first nugget? "Obviously, number one, you need wine, or rosé," explains Kaufman. "You need a well-stocked bar situation to make watching the antics even more enjoyable."

"I like to crowdsource with my friends," Kaufman recommends.  "Dole out assignments so that as a host you’re not too overwhelmed."
