2008 – The Year of Neil Patrick Harris

It’s official – this is the year of NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!

While checking out recent article links on Whedonesque this morning, I stumbled across a YouTube video, featuring two of my favourite things – Neil Patrick Harris, and SHOES!

NPH appeared as “The Fairy Shoe Person” in a song and dance number on an episode of Sesame Street. And it’s fabulous! (Suck on that Feist! You and your “1,2,3,4” song number on Sesame Street can’t hold a candle to NPH singing about shoes!)

Check out my article on the subject over at TheTVShowBlog.

NPH is having quite the year, and I think I have a renewed love for musical numbers based on his performances in this Sesame Street clip and in Dr. Horrible. Come this fall, he may take home an Emmy for his awe-some portrayal of Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. Who’s joining me in my declaration of 2008 being the year of NPH?
