There are plenty of articles on Neil Patrick Harris right now tied to his hosting the Emmys including this one in the current edition of USA Today. It starts off by noting that prior to the Emmys,  NPH had hosted  the World Magic Awards, the Directors Guild Awards, the TV Land Awards and the Tonys, for which he received wide critical acclaim.

“It’s been a lot of little hosting baby steps,” Neil says.

All this as he shoots episodes of his CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother and had a summer that included roles in two movies.

“I feel like a multi-tasking monster right now,” says three-time Emmy nominee.

His closing number at the Tonys was a sensation and he will likely do some singing on the Emmys: “I am comfortable singing in a context like that,” he says. “I am least comfortable singing karaoke, and less comfortable singing in cabarets. I really only like singing when you understand the context, so an awards show is fine.”

Neil, who shares his life with actor David Burtka, also discusses how coming out publicly as a gay man has affected his career: “I’ve been grateful and relieved we live in a world where I don’t have to feel innate shame for who I choose to fall in love with. That’s allowed me to stand tall, and when you’re standing tall, I think you perform better.”

I’ll say!
