NPH will once again pull double duty as he will host the 67th Tony Awards next Sunday, and then the upcoming 65th Primetime Emmy Awards.

?Neil is the quintessential host ? engaging, entertaining and a true showman ? with a passion for celebrating the medium we all love,? Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment, said. ?We?re thrilled for him to return for CBS?s broadcast of the Emmy Awards.

?I couldn't be more honored and excited to be hosting this year's Emmy Awards,? Neil Patrick Harris said. ?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.?

Ken Ehrlich will exec produce the Emmys this year. He has produced the Grammys for CBS previously, and worked with Harris on other awards shows.

The Emmys likely will air the night previous to the premiere of ?How I Met Your Mother?s? last season. At CBS? upfront presentation two weeks ago, the ?How I Met Your Mother? cast kicked the proceedings off with a musical number.
