Neil Patrick Harris and NBC are finalizing a deal for the How I Met Your Mother star to host his own variety show on NBC, TVLine has confirmed.
The series, which consists of 10 hour-long episodes, will be an American adaptation of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, a U.K. variety program produced by ITV.
PHOTOS RELATED had discussed the possibility of such a show.
The format is a natural fit for Harris, who has a background in musicals and live theater and who has hosted the Tony Awards and the Emmys multiple times. His next gig, announced earlier this month, will be emceeing the 2015 Academy Awards.
NBC tried out a variety show hosted by SNL alum Maya Rudolph in May; that premiered to an audience of 7.2 million total viewers and a 2.1 demo rating.

Let's hope this one makes it.... other variety shows haven't seem to do so well.
Keri.... I appreciate your postings.

I would like to see a variety show. I grew up with Ed Sullivan. He brought is the Beatles. I'd like to see some form of variation of talent and most especially not see someone sitting at the bottom of the stage judging them.
Who among us has not gotten frustrated as someone has been 'voted off' by idiots.
