What a treat it was to see Neil Patrick Harris on "Regis and Kelly" this morning. This was the third time he has stepped in and he will do so again tomorrow (Friday)!
"I've always wanted to be a talk show host and a game show host like Regis Philbin," he confessed to the audience.
It's Broadway week on the show since the Tony Awards are on Sunday and nominee Christine Ebersole and her "Grey Gardens" co-star Erin Davie performed a number from their smash show.
NPH gushed about it and about several other shows he has seen this season. He himself is a Broadway veteran with stints in "Cabaret," and "Nine" and a role in the touring company of "Rent."
"I love being here on Broadway week," said NPH who is planning to see "The Pirate Queen" tonight and will be a presenter on the Tony Awards for the second straight year.
The out actor keeps a home in NYC where he tries to spend time when not shooting the LA-based sitcom "How I Met Your Mother." "LA's fun but it's so [show] business-centric," he said. "New York is a wonderful melting pot because you're around people...I love riding the subway."
