What did he said?

In starting speech by Michio Kaku, what did he said?
"Well, after such a great introduction, I can't wait to hear the speaker myself."


What does it mean? -- I can't wait to hear the speaker myself???
I can't wait to hear?
The speaker myself???

I know he's making a joke, but I can't understand what he said.

My English level is about 500 point on TOEIC. So, I am poor English speaker.
Would you help me.

Yes, it is a joke. The introduction was so laudatory that Michio was very impressed; he pretends to think that it was not introducing

I can't wait ... myself ~ I myself am very eager ~ Even I would very much like

to hear the speaker ~ to hear the person who is about to speak

Oh! I wanted to get his joke myself!

(He pretended that) He thought someone to be introduced. Right?
