Neil Patrick Harris to Guest Star on Glee Episode Directed by Joss Whedon
We are fervently hoping that these negotiations get finalized quickly. Michael Ausiello reports that Neil Patrick Harris is in talks to guest star on the Glee episode that Joss Whedon is directing. This is like the Holy Grail to Glee, Whedon and Harris fans.
Anyway, Harris wants to do it, and Glee creator Ryan Murphy sure as hell wants him to — he’s creating a role especially for the How I Met Your Mother scene-stealer. And yes, the part includes a little song-'n'-dance. In fact, the gig not only would reunite Harris with Whedon, it'd also reteam him with Zachary Woodlee, who choreographed the musical number in HIMYM's recent 100th episode.
The one possible snag -- and there's always one, isn't there? CBS has to OK its MVP's appearance on Fox's breakout hit. But at least since HIMYM and Glee are both produced by 20th Century Fox, there's no conflict on their end.
