Neil’s Show Won’t Be Carol Burnett’s
Neil Patrick Harris premieres his TV variety show, “Best Time Ever,” on September 15, but don’t expect it to be a return to the good ole days of variety, a la Carol Burnett. Harris says the success of his show will be based on his ability to attract celebrities to show up and play along with his antics. I enjoy Harris and wish him well, but attracting celebrities to show up and play along with your antics is exactly what Fallon and Kimmel and God knows how many other people do every day. Harris’s format may be a little different from theirs, but the need for stars to come by and humiliate themselves is the same.
