Neil Patrick Harris wouldn’t say no to hosting Oscars again one day: ‘I had a really fun time’

Neil Patrick Harris is such a charmer that I’d watch him host anything – even the Academy Awards again.

His debut as Oscar host this year had its moments (loved the Birdman parody!) but did not have the buzz-worthy moments that Ellen generated last year or NPH himself achieves at The Tonys.

But Neil said during this week’s Television Critics Association Press Tour that the mixed reviews doesn’t mean he’s closed to doing the Oscars again if the opportunity presents itself.

“It’s a rare ask,’ he says.

‘It’s a lot of effort that goes into something that, at the end of the day, becomes inconsequential,’ he adds. ‘If you think about it you’d be hard pressed to remember the nominees. It just goes away and there’s a new thing. That’s the interesting dynamic. You spend an asinine amount of time overthinking it and as soon as it’s done it just sort of vanishes. I’d do it again if I was asked. I had a really fun time.’

Best Time Ever will premiere on September 15.
