Neil Patrick Harris has been tapped to host the upcoming 2012 Tony Awards.
The How I Met Your Mother star was the critically-acclaimed host of the awards show in 2009 and 2011.
"I'm thrilled to be a part of this year's Tony Awards," Harris said in a statement. "Not only will I be shining a spotlight on the best that Broadway has to offer, but hopefully I'll score some free house seats to a show or 5."
The Tony Award nominations will be announced on May 1st, and the awards show will broadcast live on CBS June 10th.
