The king is back on the throne.

Producers for the Tony Awards announced today that the one and only Neil Patrick Harris will take on hosting duties for this year’s show.   It will be the “How I Met Your Mother” star’s third time running the night, his first two being back in 2009 and 2011.

Harris said in a statement,

“I’m thrilled to be a part of this year’s Tony Awards…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 five!”

Now, the only question to me is will Hugh Jackman show up for some competition…?
