Harris to host third Tony awards

April 3, 2012

Neil Patrick Harris will be back for his third turn hosting the Tony Awards, The Associated Press reports. Producers of the show announced Tuesday that the star of the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" and a stage veteran would be back at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre for the ceremony honoring Broadway's best. It will be broadcast June 10 on CBS. Harris hosted the Tonys last year and in 2009 -- the same year he hosted the Emmy Awards. As he did in 2011, Harris will also serve as a producer.
