Currently in theaters playing himself in A VERY MERRY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS continues his role as Barney Stinson on the popular CBS sitcom HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and will next be seen co-hosting LIVE! WITH KELLY, sharing the stage with KELLY RIPA for a week (11/28-12/2). A fan favorite who has co-hosted the show numerous times, HARRIS shares a genuine chemistry with RIPA and the two have become close friends over the years. Some of the guests expected during the week are BETTY WHITE, MARCIA CROSS, MAYA RUDOLPH, HOT CHELLE RAE, AVRIL LAVIGNE and COBRA STARSHIP.

At one time there was some speculation that HARRIS might be a contender to step into the soon-to-be vacated REGIS PHILBIN position as permanent co-host of the show but, during our recent interview, he said that isn’t likely to happen. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
