• NPH should plan on hosting the Tonight Show when Letterman is gone.

• Funny how Neil Patrick Harris was first tapped to host the 2009 Writers Guild Awards this past Feb – then after that successul gig, he went on to host the Tonys, TV Land Awards, and now the Emmys – the Guild has good taste!

• Craig “No band, no announcer, leaky studio, not in HD” Ferguson is probably thrilled right now.

• Saw him live hosting the WGA Awards earlier this year and then the TV Land Awards, he was fantastic both times.

• Producer? Have I missed something (besides the Tony’s of course, cause no one watched those)…is that normal?

• I’ve worked on two award shows with Neil Patrick Harris and he was a joy to work with. No attitude and doesn’t panic if something goes wrong. (Like getting burned during dress rehearsals). I also saw him graciously signing autographs for American Idol audience members when he attended last season. I think he’s a great choice for the Emmys.

• I have a huge, straight man crush on NPH.. Though I couldn’t care less about awards shows, it might be worth tuning in..

  ps: his RiffTrax commentary on _Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory_ was pretty sweet..

  Oh Hiiiiii Doogie!! Don’t worry about it!

• Even before hosting the 2009 WGA Awards, Neil and Kristen Chenoweth hosted the 2008 Primetime Emmy Nomination Annoucement. He did a terrific job and many took notice.

• NPH has had a very good history working with people during his career. It is so heartwarming to see that you can be employed in this industry called ENTERTAINMENT as an OUT gay man. Kudos to the Emmys and congratulations to NPH.
