Neil Patrick Harris hosted the Tony Awards Sunday night, singing, dancing and charming his way through his second successful hosting gig. Still, the “How I Met Your Mother” star had to defend his abilities to Tony winner and three-time host, Hugh Jackman.
The two Broadway vets attempted to prove they were the superior host by performing some pretty slick dance moves while singing a medley of Broadway tunes from shows including “Gypsy,” Annie Get Your Gun” and “Singin’ in the Rain.”
The Post’s Peter Marks praised Harris, saying “the show was one of the smartest Tony telecasts in memory, moving securely from entertaining if often promotional musical numbers to the host’s winking comic interludes” with this Jackman skit being “a highlight.”
