I think he did an excellent job and can't see why anyone would complain about or judge his performance. I sure some will tell us why. He's attractive, very funny, sings, dances, obviously loves Broadway, is a TV personality with two Emmys, two babies, a hot BF, works well with others, and contributes to stop the extinction of tree frogs. He wasn't playing HAMLET (yet), he was hosting an award show and I think he did a damn good job.

Last night was the most fun I've had watching the Tony Awards in a good decade. Starting the show with a politically incorrect number was perfect in the year of the Mormons. The only time I felt the production lag at all was not because of its excellent host but because of the Spiderman segment. Everything came to a screeching halt!

Agreed and agreed. NPH is the best host ever and his duelling hosts bit with Hugh Jackman was priceless. A great show!

He definitely set the right tone for the show, considering the success of BOM. And he seemed to have more charisma this year, maybe the other host jobs have given him more confidence?

And many of us were skeptical (at best)of the decision to bring him back. I couldn't muster more than a yawn at the news, but I was wrong. And I'm glad I was.

Confidence is not something NPH lacks. Part of the reason I'm not a huge fan is that he's all too aware of his own wonderfulness.

Well, they did try to get Eeyore to host, but he didn't want to get upstaged by War Horse.

Oh bother.
