Robin Lord Taylor stars in "Gotham" This week's Best bets Stars on Screen By Andrew Warren TV Media A star for the stars: The host of the 87th Academy Awards has been announced, and it's some- one we've all "met" before. Neil Patrick Harris finally wrapped up his role as the wom- anizing Barney Stinson in CBS's "How I Met Your Mother" earlier this year, a part he played for all nine seasons of the hit sitcom, and now this television hot com- modity is going to be hosting Hollywood's biggest night. "To be asked to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres and everyone else who had the great fortune of hosting is a bucket list dream come true,'' he said in a statement, referring to some of the hosts of previous Oscars. For Harris, this won't be his first time hosting an awards cer- emony either. He's twice hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards (2009 and 2013), and has hosted the Tony Awards four times (2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013). The Academy Awards usually tags a big-ticket TV or movie star for hosting duties, and Harris cer- tainly fits that bill. He first jumped into the public con- sciousness way back in 1988 when he starred alongside Whoopi Goldberg in "Clara's Heart," a performance that earned him a Golden Globe nomination. The very next year, in 1989, he starred as a child doctor in "Doogie Howser, M.D.," a A star for the stars Neil Patrick Harris is tapped to host the Academy Awards show that many still remember fondly as well. Despite frequent TV show cameos and movie roles, though, in recent years he's become best known for two things: "How I Met Your Mother" and his roles on Broadway. After last year's acclaimed hosting performance by Ellen DeGeneres, Harris certainly has some big shoes to fill. Nonetheless, with a huge built-in fan base and lots of hosting experience behind him, it looks like the 87th Academy Awards will be one to remember. Leno's back: Guess who's coming back to the NBCU Networks? With a drive that would put the Energizer Bunny to shame, Jay Leno just keeps coming back into TV watchers' lives — not that that's a bad thing. As any fan of the longtime "Tonight Show" host will tell you, Leno has a passion for clas- sic cars. Now, less than a year after handing over the reins of NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" to Jimmy Fallon, he's heading back to NBCUniversal with a show about his four- wheeled passion on CNBC. "This show will be about any- thing that rolls, explodes and makes noise," Leno said in a statement announcing the new show. "We hope to highlight the passion and the stories behind the men and women who made the automobile the greatest invention of the 20th century." "Jay Leno's Garage" — the web series — has won itself an Emmy and drawn in more than a million subscribers on YouTube. With accolades like that, it's no surprise that NBCUniversal decided they weren't quite finished with Leno yet. Watch for "Jay Leno's Garage" some time next year on CNBC.
