Is Emmy Wooing NPH?

After seeing what he did for the Tonys last month, the Emmys want a piece of Neil Patrick Harris.

The actor, truly one of TV’s MPVs, is in negotiations with CBS to host this year’s 61st Annual Emmy Awards on Sept. 20.

The move would likely help critics forgive and forget (most ripped last year’s Emmy show a new one for their ill-advised use of five reality-show stars – including Heidi Klum and cutie patootie Jeff Probst – as co-hosts), not to mention it would provide a nice plug for Harris’ How I Met Your Mother.
