Emmy host Neil Patrick Harris

Neil Patrick Harris looks set to host the Emmy Awards. The 36 year old star of How I Met Your Mother host the Tony Awards this year and it helped the ratings based on last years figures. Seems the Emmy Awards liked that and are going with Harris as host of their show too.

You may recall hosting for the Emmy Awards last year fell to a roster of stars including Ryan Seacrest, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Jeff Probst. The awards came off as a bit sloppy with this multi host deal and so it now falls to NPH to bring them back and I personally think he can do a good job. The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards will air September 20 on CBS.
