Wow that's amazing! Ahh why can't they get Chenoweth to co-host?
Either way, he'll be fantastic, how I adore him.

Can he really attract viewers?

[Shannon Bo Dannon]

Yes! This will be LEGENDARY! (Had to throw in the How I Met Your Mother reference).

I just wish Kristin Chenoweth was co-hosting. That'd be perfection.

YAY!!! This is what I was hoping for!

I'm sorry, maybe I am a tad confused...does CBS want the TONYS to bomb so they have to go to PBS? I'm just curious. I personally was holding out for Dolly but looks like that isnt going to happen. Hopefully this doesn't shut down "9 to 5".

Inspired choice, in my opinion!

This is PERFECT. I was literally just saying last week how NPH should host - with his theater background and recent HIMYM fame, I think it's really really perfect.

Now I really need to figure out how to be a seat filler...

Are you being facetious or do you really believe this? I highly doubt Dolly Parton or NPH would draw a significantly different number of viewers.

By the way, has a nominee or someone with strong ties to a nominated show ever hosted?

I bet he's terrific.

Wow, the Tony Awards are now going to pretty much ooze awesomeness. But really, this news kind of made my day. I've always loved me some NPH (whether he's on stage, tripping balls, killing space bugs, or just being Good Ol' Swarley) but I think he will make a magnificent Tony host.

Glenn Close was a co-host during the Sunset Blvd. year.

I'm sure he'll be awesome, but:



Is that a mugshot?

Didn't Lane & Broderick host the year that The Producers swept?

[DickonDefysGravity]

What a bland choice.

Hugh Jackman hosted when he won for THE BOY FROM OZ.

there better be a good opening now! A medley would be great, or they could just do Prop 8 the Musical to kick things off. That I would enjoy!

My dream has come true!
I will definitely SUIT UP for the Tonys!
