Any rumors on who will host? They should be announcing it soon!
If Neil Patrick Harris doesn't end up up coming back this year...
Kristin Chenoweth?
James Corden?
Alan Cumming?
Tony Danza?
Jesse Tyler Ferguson?
Matthew Morrison?
Jim Parsons?
David Hyde Pierce?

Jimmy Fallon, please! Only thing stopping this would be NBC

I have a feeling this is gonna be a great Tony Award ceremony!
Oy Vey.
lol i have always been right
Corden would be a logical choice given his theater background and CBS show.

I think Cordon will be a tad busy trying to get his new show off the ground. Doubt CBS would let him take the time off right after the new show starts.
If he is still trying to get his new show off the ground in June, he will be in mega trouble. My guess is that the new show will be in desperate need of as much exposure as it can get, and the Tonys fits the bill. It's not the network "letting" him take time off: it would be CBS engineering the move to see if it can pump some life into a time slot that most folks think is going to be in serious trouble by then.
Oy Vey is correct! and PLEASE NO TONY DANZA!!!! I like the Alan Cumming idea but he is not as big as previous hosts, but seriously I would love to see Whoopi again!
I think that Jim Parsons would do a good job on this. He's 1000x funnier than Harris.

I could definitely see Cumming as a possibility especially with his relationship with CBS on Good Wife!

Chris Pine and Billy Magnussen could co-host, and just rip their shirts open for two hours...
I'd be good with Jim Parsons, if we're sticking with the CBS family.
But I bet they'll try to go for Matthew Morrison or Darren Criss.

I think the logical choice would be Stephen Colbert, because he loves musical theater and Broadway and it would be a great way to build up excitement for his new show.

Well, Hugh Jackman is likely out for a couple of reasons: his filming schedule, plus his vocal rest following a vocal chord hemorrhage. Colbert is a quick-witted, fun personality steeped in Broadway lore, so I agree he'd be a great choice; Corden second choice. Loved him in ONE MAN TWO GUV'NORS.
But in any case, please, NO MORE HARRIS.
Edina who could than make jokes about the wacky fans she has encountered.
