I hope you've brushed up on the "Bro Code" because in the words of Barney Stinson, this year's Emmy Awards are going to be legen-wait for it...DARY.
CBS announced Wednesday that "How I Met Your Mother" star Neil Patrick-Harris is set to host the 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards, honoring the best of television in September.
"I couldn't be more honored and excited to be hosting this year's Emmy Awards," Harris told reporters at Wednesday's CBS announcement. "And what perfect timing - I'll just do the exact same script I'm about to use for the Tonys. 'And the Emmy for Best Revival of a Musical goes to 'Breaking Bad!' See, told you it works."
Harris is also hosting CBS's broadcast of the 67th annual Tony Awards, which honors Broadway's finest on June 9 from Radio City Music Hall in New York, NY.
He hosted the Prime time Emmy Awards last time CBS aired it in 2009. Harris previously hosted the 63rd, 65th, and 66th annual Tony Awards.
This will be the actor's second time hosting the trophy show.
"Four years ago, Neil was an amazing Emmy host and we are excited to have him back," Bruce Rosenblum, the Television Academy chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "Neil is an extremely gifted and inventive performer, and we look forward to seeing what he has in store this year."
The three-time Emmy award winner received great reviews for his past award-hosting gigs.
"Neil is the quintessential host - engaging, entertaining, and a true showman - with a passion for celebrating the medium we all love," CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said in Wednesday's news.
The live broadcast of the Emmys will air from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sept. 22.
The final season of CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" begins in the fall on their Monday lineup.
