As much as a change would be nice, NPH has been a fun host in the past and I look forward to this year's broadcast!

Bob Hope hosted the Oscars 14 times. NPH does a great job. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I think this job is a hard sell to stars like Bette or DHP. They don't pay very well and it's a lot of work, especially when you're already dong 8 perfs/wk.

^If Bette was nominated for her return to Broadway for the first time in 30yrs. maybe it would be less of a hard sell, especially after such raves for her performance. You can't sell a show to a host that has a flaming handprint across their face! I think she would take the Tony gig over Parental Guidance 2, she survived that catastrophy- the Tony's would've been a teriffic return to form for her. Sigh, what could've been.

The trouble is he's boring!
The trouble is he's smug!
The trouble is he's ugly!
The trouble is his mug!
The trouble is his toning!

Doogie, leave the Tony Show alone
Gee, Neil Patrick Harris, we're down on knees
Just like the fags in gay jokes you tell on our tvs
Gee, Neil Patrick Harris, we know what we'll do...
I'm out after that, though.

It was a nice team effort.

I should add I don't have the vitriol toward him that a lot of people on here have, though I'm also not clamoring to see his recent Ellen appearance turned into a movie, either. But, like BorstalBoy and others, that "Theatre Isn't Just For Gays" song really stuck in my craw. And yes, I know, I know he didn't write it, he just performed it. It is immediately what I thought of, though, when that Bruce LaBruce article referred to NPH as "bad gay camp."

For me, a little NPH goes a long way . . .
How far into the evening will he appear on camera wearing a pair of red kinky boots?
I'm guessing Hugh Jackman was asked, but decided to wait until next year . . . closer to the opening of Houdini.

I have nothing against NPH, Phyllis. I just love an opportunity for parody!

Me too! And you write parodies that actually scan properly, unlike so many others!

If you're going to parody, you need to do it right.

Agreed. I've seen some really rotten ones on here, though.

Well, there's a lot of rotten stuff on here in general.

Neil Patrick Harris -- the epitome of douchery:

It was. There was nothing douchey in that clip.

If he only had more respect for Broadway and it's performers.
Instead, he kicked them out of the Magic Castle when that place could have used the new blood.

I'm not sure. The old man in that clip was getting close and then backed off. I don't think it was a joke.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

If he hosted with Mike Tyson, it would be interesting.

I wonder why Neil has tweeted a bunch since this announcement but but hasn't mentioned anything about it to his 5,787,170 Followers
Maybe he's as tired of doing it as some people here are of having him
