  • spookyttws, on 07/14/2009, -0/+28I love me some NPH. He has the nostalgia factor from Doogie Howser, the stoner props from Harold and Kumar, and completed his trifecta with his amazing performance as Dr. Horrible.
  • Syphon9, on 07/14/2009, -1/+29And that's not even counting his mad props for Barney Stinson.
  • Swordman554, on 07/14/2009, -3/+29Nathan Fillion better Co-Host
  • TriNiiTy, on 07/14/2009, -0/+23So that's where God is taking NPH
  • bryceman111, on 07/14/2009, -0/+23Neil Patrick Harris: "Gentlemen, start your engines! It's gonna be a bumpy *****' ride."
  • Mahamoti23, on 07/14/2009, -0/+18Swarles Barkley. Pure win.
  • overridemymind, on 07/14/2009, -0/+18FACT -- NPH is, hands down, THE coolest gay man on the planet.
  • wassim2k, on 07/14/2009, -2/+19Overheard in producers' meeting:
    P1: "Hey you know who's big now is Neil P. Harris."
    P2: "Who are you talking about? The dude that played Doogie?"
    P1: "Yeah! he's all over the Internets"
    P2: "The internets? Why are you pluralizing it?"
    P1: "That's how the people on there talk now, and they like NPH"
    P2: "Yeah and?"
    P3: "Floyd, what he's trying to say is that we can attract that ever so elusive demographic that hates our guts if we have NPH host the show"
    P2: "but the older audience might not relate"
    P1: "who gives a crap, they don't mean anything anymore, it's all about the hipsters and bloggers now"
    P3: "He's right, let's give NPH a call, he can't be that expensive, he played Doogie for heaven's sake."
    P1: "Barbara, get me Neil P. Harris' agent please"
    P2: "I still think this is a bad idea."
    P1: "You'll see, this will make the first page on Digg.com and will be all over Twitter and Wordpress-based blogs."
    P2: "What in the world are you talking about?"
    P3: "Floyd, maybe you should talk to your kids more often."
  • leckie, on 07/14/2009, -1/+17Yes... You're the only one.
  • airyks, on 07/14/2009, -0/+15and.... what's wrong with that? who cares ;l
  • feezus, on 07/14/2009, -0/+15Oh no! You're right! They banned the gays from performance arts YEARS ago! What's going to happen when they find out!?
  • Syphon9, on 07/14/2009, -0/+13Yes.

    I'm in love with the characters he's typecast as, not who he is.
  • taylorhayward, on 07/14/2009, -0/+11Good luck my man. You're playing your cards like a Vegas pro.

    Good. Now I care.
  • Genecalypse, on 07/14/2009, -1/+5What would NPH do?
  • Jaxim, on 07/14/2009, -2/+6Not even Niel Patrick Harris, who I think is a very funny actor, will make me watch yet another award (actors self gratifying each other) show. Thanks god for video sites like Hulu, youTube! In today's age there are other video entertainment alternatives when an awards show is on.

  • LordByr0n, on 07/14/2009, -0/+4Damn how did he slip by?

  • TheNyquilKid, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2They took one of the worlds oldest jokes, guy gets a bad nickname and his friends won't let it die, and kept beating that horse and it only got more funny, only the horse wasn't dead...and it was a unicorn...true story.

  • Llanowar, on 07/14/2009, -0/+2Nah, I'm pretty sure it stands for Patrick Harris.
  • LilJimmyNordin, on 07/14/2009, -1/+3Saying that Neil Patrick Harris can make the Emmys watchable is like saying that putting chocolate and caramel on a turd makes it a Mars bar.
  • antdude, on 07/14/2009, -0/+1Record/Buffer it and FF the boring parts.

  • awinters, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1I can't tell you how many people have told me that, but I hardly ever watch comedies. I like The Big Bang Theory and The Office, but EVERYONE is always like "What? You don't watch How I Met Your Mother? What's wrong with you?"
  • LilJimmyNordin, on 07/14/2009, -0/+1SHURRUPMYFANWY!!!
  • awinters, on 07/14/2009, -0/+1I just saw his SNL stint from earlier this year and loved it. I don't watch How I Met Your Mother and I wasn't around for Doogie, but saw both Harold & Kumar movies and he's pretty hilarious.
