Playbill announced Neil Patrick Harris to host on May 14, so I assume we will know in the next two weeks

I can't wait 2 weeks for a response! I want to know now!!

I could see them giving the hosting duties to Conan O' Brien.

I would love to see Kristin host the Tonys, but I don't think it will happen. Can we have Hugh Jackman back? He was fantastic.

Maybe they'll let Rosie come back.

I would bet they're lobbying hard to get Jackman and Craig to co-host. That would be a major coup for the Tonys.

As a backup, I could see them going for Jackman alone, or possibly Hayes and Chenowith (though that would be a cheesefest I would not want to see.)

I feel like this is Tony's chance to get some attention, what with the star power on Broadway this year. If they can play up the number of stars who will be in attendance, they might have an outside shot of getting some media attention. I mean, some of the biggest names in Hollywood- Denzel Washington, Scarlett Johansson, Liev Schreiber, Daniel Craig, Hugh Jackman, Christopher Walken- will likely be in attendance. And there is, believe it or not, a segment of American television viewership who will tune in just to see those people.

So they would be stupid not to go with a big name superstar host. NPH won't cut it this year.

They already offered it to him and he already rejected the offer.

He didn't reject it. He's legally unable to do it.

I would LOVE to see Rosie return. I can just imagine the promos.

"I'm back!"

He can legally do it. His "freezing" contract ends saturday, with him going on 60 Minutes Sunday!

he is busy on tour, now!

[TheatreFan4]

Posted: 4/28/10 at 6:50pm

Oh. I thought it lasted until September.

[ifuweregay93]

Posted: 4/28/10 at 7:34pm

I did too, untill news broke of his filming of "60 Minutes" and along with that came the report of his "contract" being up at the end of the month. But 3 months is what Zucker originally said back in January, and I guess it'll have been 3 months! People just got his ability to start a show and be on a show confused.

So, it sucks that he can't host. I would've laughed my ass off!

Conan is currently on tour, so it wouldn't be feasible for him to do this anyway.

[ifuweregay93]

Posted: 4/28/10 at 8:27pm

^ Yeah. I can't wait to see the tour, by the way! If only I saw the LA version, though. Oh well! The show in Chicago should be fun.

Sorry for threadjacking!

CAN IT PLEASE HAPPEN?

I wasn't aware the offer had been put in place for Conan, but I can see why he can't do it.

It is not just that Conan has a conflicting schedule it is that he was on the left coast for over a year. It would just seem a little inauthentic to have him host when he likely has seen none of the shows.

As far as Glee, neither for or against, would Fox actually allow them to go on CBS?

It is probably NPH but I kind of wish he brought Jason Segel with him. He did write Dracula's Lament for Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

I never thought about the Fox/CBS deal for Glee! Thank you strummergirl. I really would like to see Kristin Chenoweth host but, we will have to wait and see.

[TheatreFan4]

Posted: 4/29/10 at 12:22am

Kristin is performing 8 times a week, I doubt she would have time to prepare to host the TONYS as well.

[BroadwayBound115]

Posted: 4/29/10 at 12:25am

hahah! You know I actually thought about that today. I am so tired right now, I have no idea where my mind went!

[PReeves2]

Posted: 4/29/10 at 1:31am

I thought Conan couldn't host because of his buyout deal from NBC. Not able to work on any other network for a certain amount of time which would include the Tony's. Also, please don't let Rosie come back. she is pathetic and boring as a host.

[beyondblessed]

Posted: 4/29/10 at 7:16am

David Hyde Pierce would be an excellent host!

If she wasn't in a show right now...I believe Vanessa Williams would also do a fine job...I remember her hosting the Blockbuster Awards in the past, she was hilarious!

If by some strange way Whoopi and Rosie were able to co-host, I feel that it would be one of the most unforgettable award shows ever. A whole bunch of silly and charm. Have they ever worked together?

[Piper3500]

Posted: 4/29/10 at 11:14am

I really cannot see them having Conan at all. (i would even take Regis Philbin over that). It would be for ratings if they did.

Kristen is a little too much. I can only handle one Cheno note in a joke format a show.



I would like to see Hugh Jackman again too.

so far it doesnt seem like FOX is stopping GLEE from being on other networks. They've been all over all talkshows and morning shows. It wasn't FOX that pulled them out of Thanksgiving parade. But who knows.

Posted: 5/21/10 at 11:27am

Seriously, shouldn't we know by now? They are cutting it really close...

[BroadwayBound115]

Posted: 5/21/10 at 12:45pm

Maybe there will not be one like 2006 and 2007.

[flahooley2]

Posted: 5/21/10 at 3:38pm

The host will be Sean Hayes.

[CapnHook]

Posted: 5/21/10 at 6:02pm

I think Matthew Morrison and Neail Patrick Harris hosting together would make for a GREAT evening! Can they PLEASE do a sing-off???
