Well... At least he can sing. I loved him last year but was hoping for a new one.

I'd rather have hologram Tupac.

I don't mind him now that he's taken a sabbatical from hosting every single thing in the world.

Still, they could do better.

I was hoping for someone new like Jesse Tyler Ferguson or someone who had not done it in long time.

Why not Billy Crystal? Seriously.

Because he's not funny anymore.

You take that back, Taz! You take back what you said about Billy. If you don't take it back, I'll tell Chris about all those love poems you write about her.

While I love a good Adventures in Babysitting reference, there's nothing for Taz to take back.

Ignore him Taz, he must have forgotten about Billy Crystal bombing at the Oscars a couple of years ago

Ok, I'll take it back. But only because I loved Mr. Saturday Night.

Billy Crystal? too old too bloated too last century... in that case, why not Mickey Rooney.

Im glad NPH is doing it. Hopefully Robin Sparkles will make an appearance.

Too bloated? Too funny.

No NPH please. I used to like him but he's way too aware of his own wonderfulness.

You nailed it, BroadwayJim. All that wink-wink/aren't-I-just-too much IS too much coming from a 40-ish man-child who should leave that phase behind. I'd prefer Hugh Jackman, Bette Midler (assuming she's not stewing), Nathan Lane, Jackie Hoffman or even the current King of B'way, Tom Hanks.

Tazber, I'm with you. MR. SATURDAY NIGHT, along with ALL ABOUT EVE, are my favorite movies.

While he did not bomb last year.. his performance kind of missed. It was flat. Maybe now that he hasn't been hosting everything else it will go better. I still would have preferred someone fresh.

Safe choice. So many other better options. I really don't get the big deal about him. He has an okay voice and he is kind of funny. Nothing special, and certainly not host material.

Because he has both charm and crossover appeal.

People just like him.

He also now has an Emmy for hosting the Tonys.

We might be getting our answer tomorrow. The Tony Award twitter account just sent out:


"If you're a fan of the #TonyAwards, you might want to check your Twitter feed Thursday morning around 9am ET or so. #getready #justsaying"


I am gonna assume it's the host announcement.

It would make sense for it to be NPH since he's taping the Ellen Degeneres Show tomorrow shortly after.
