Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Barney Stinson on the CBS hit show "How I Met Your Mother", will be hosting the Tony Awards again this year.
Harris first hosted the Tony Awards in 2009. He took the following year off (which was hosted by Sean Hayes) and returned in 2011 and 2012. This year, the comedic actor will once again serve as producer alongside executive producers Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss. Harris also helped produce the show in 2012.
"I'm very excited to be back hosting the Tony Awards at the legendary Radio City Music Hall," Harris said in a press release. "It'll be more impressive than ever-if my math is correct, it will be 267 times bigger than last year.
"Oh, wait. No, that can't... hold on... carry the one... I'm awful at math. But rest assured, the show will rock!"
Besides hosting the Tony's, Harris has also hosted the Emmy Awards, the Spike Video Game Awards and in 2009 the TV Land Awards.
"Neil is a multi-talented performer whose showmanship, wit and energy command the stage of live events," Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment said. "He is a master of ceremony who truly loves celebrating the performing arts with the highest level of entertainment, and it's quite obvious to the audience he's having a lot of fun along the way."
The news of Harris hosting the show again was tweeted from the Tony Awards Twitter page.
The 67th Tony Awards will air live on CBS from Radio City Music Hall on June 9.
