The Emmys: NPH edition

Following last year's disastrous show, in terms of both quality and ratings, The Emmys have made a move to make this year's awards, legen-wait for it-dary.

That's right, it was announced today that Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting The Emmys this year. This is a step in the right direction for show producers. I understand that they were trying to be edgier by having five different reality hosts emcee last year's awards, but we can all agree it was just bad.

Fresh off the tremendous jobs he did with The TV Land awards and The Tonys, NPH is pretty much the perfect choice. He's funny, can sing and dance and understands the job of a host is to basically keep the trains running on time while not boring the audience.

Way to go, television academy, let's hope the nominations and awards are as popular as this decision.
