Neil Patrick Harris to host 2013 Tony Awards

Neil Patrick Harris is on a winning streak as far as the Tony Awards are concerned. The "How I Met Your Mother" star has been tapped to host the 67th annual Tony Awards on June 9, airing live on CBS from New York's Radio City Music Hall. This marks the fourth time Harris will emcee the gala.

"I'm very excited to be back hosting the Tony Awards at the legendary Radio City Music Hall. It'll be more impressive than ever -- if my math is correct, it will be 267 times bigger than last year," said Harris in a statement. "Oh, wait. No, that can't...hold on...carry the one...I'm awful at math. But rest assured, the show will rock!"

Harris will also serve as a co-producer of the show.

This year, the Cyndi Lauper-scored "Kinky Boots" earned a leading 13 Tony Award nominations, with "Matilda: The Musical" close behind with 12.
