In honor of tonight's telecast of the Tony Awards, this week's Sunday Blessings is devoted to this year's host, Neil Patrick Harris. Who would have thought, nearly twenty years ago, the kid from Doogie Howser M.D. would have grown into a hot gay guy? Not I. Since the days of Doogie, Neil has appeared in a number of Broadway shows- Proof, Cabaret, Assassins - so presiding over the Tony showcase won't be much of stretch, and if you saw the TV Land Awards last month, you realize the man can make for an entertaining host. Let's just hope the show as a whole is entertaining, and Shrek the Musical doesn't come away with prizes, but I'm guessing with all the fanaticism towards it, Billy Elliot will be the big winner of the night. I just wish Broadway could create original works, rather than adapting movies into stage shows. Anyway back to Mr. Neil Patrick Harris... he's adorable (I love that he's a magician as well) and his boyfriend/partner, stage actor David Burtka is equally adorable. They're just one big, adorable couple. Oh, also Neil's funny-as-hell on How I Met Your Mother, so he better win an Emmy this year. I really don't believe Jeremy Piven needs a fourth trophy. Amen.
