NBC is premiering this fall a new live variety show with the Broadway renaissance man, Neil Patrick Harris, as the host. Tuesday, September 15th marks the live one-hour event where audiences will watch and wait as they expect the unexpected, as the shows’ tagline reinforces that “anything can happen, and it can happen to you.” While we are not exactly sure what we are in for it is bound to be lots of comedy and music with the stereotypical game-show elements. As one promotional video delves, turns out lots of pranks as well, that seems oddly reminiscent of America’s Funniest Videos. The show itself is based on the popular British show ” Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway,” where comedy duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly feature a number of large-scale stunts and comedy sketches,with various pranks and practical jokes that are performed on members of the studio audience, home viewers and even celebrities. NBC may be testing their luck with this slightly risky show, yet are presumably banking on the “razzle dazzle” of five time Emmy awarded and Tony awarded Neil Patrick Harris as the perfect star to conduct stunts and skits with sparkle for this unique live show unlike anything else on American television. Harris is anything but a stranger to live television as he has hosted the Tony’s, the Emmy’s, and even this years own Academy Awards. I can hardly wait to tune in at 10pm for the live event and to see if it really will be the Best Time Ever.
