Neil Patrick Harris is pretty awesome.

First of all, he reinvigorated the word 'awesome' on How I Met Your Mother (and introduced new catchwords - legen-wait for it-DARY!). Secondly, he made a big splash in the Whedon-universe as Dr. Horrible in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog. Finally, and most recently, he was one of the bests hosts of SNL in a LONG time, despite the show's dwindling cast.

I was a little worried about NPH hosting SNL, thinking that the confidence of his Barney persona might be shattered by the pressure of live improv. Boy was I wrong.

The real question is - why is this Neil Patrick Harris' first time hosting SNL? He's a natural! For the good of the show, I hope they bring him back soon, and with better skits to work with.As for next week's epsiode, hosted by Rosario Dawson?..... yah, prollly not watching that...
