Neil Patrick Harris: Best Host Ever

With the Emmy's less than three weeks away, many people are asking questions already. Who will win best drama series? Will Modern Family take best comedy for the fourth time in a row? And of course, how will Neil Patrick Harris open the show with? Neil Patrick Harris has been one of my favorite actors for a while, not just because of his work in How I Met Your Mother, but also from his many times hosting the Tony's and his appearances on Broadway. I was first interested in him when he sang a Broadway like number in How I Met Your Mother. I then found an article on him on MSN called Neil Patrick Harris: Host with the Most. It talked about how Harris will be hosting the upcoming Emmy's and then showed off his life, highlighting important points in his career as an actor. I had some knowledge of his work before HIMYM (How I Met Your Mother), but I was fully immersed in this article. First appearing on TV at the age of 16, he captivated America as Doogie Howser, a 16 year old doctor in the 80's show Doogie Howser, M.D. He then had a very successful career on Broadway and was reintroduced to Hollywood with his appearance in a Harold and Kumar movie. He then went on to his most famous role, Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother. He then went on to become hosts of many award shows, including hosting the Emmy's three times and the Tony awards four times. For me, his best moment was the opening to the 2012 Tony Awards (link to video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqL2PFbgqf0).

 It is sad to think that HIMYM is on its final season and that his breakthrough character is leaving, but this may open up new opportunities for the actors. Overall, Neil Patrick Harris is an outstanding actor and I have no doubt that the Emmy awards will be amazing.
