Listen closely at 2:11. When the fifth show is named the screen behind him says "NBC" he actually says "NBT".

[xcupcakexheartagramx]

@doodlebuggyjump15 It's definitely him singing.

[RunningWithRum]

I fast forwarded through this part.

[azobichambonbonki]

@RunningWithRum So why the hell did you go on youtube to watch it again? xD

[RunningWithRum]

@azobichambonbonki funny enough I forgot to end that comment with a ":(" sadface. I meant to convey that I fast forwarded just to get to the awards and missed out on the song!

[mackzekerule]

I feel like the Emmy audience isn't as responsive as the Tony audiences. Lame =/

[pajaseviwow]

Hey you idiot who added this video... The Bro Code is not from Neil!!

[SebastiaanSailmaker]

@pajaseviwow He co-wrote it, or was at least one of the people behind it. Get your facts straight

[G456Lakes]

Go gays!!! Even though I'm clearly no gay at all and masturbate at women all the time.

[yuuriDvampy]

"showtime and oxygen...can't you watch it later?" xD <3

[Prodigiousguy8]

[veedoll100]

@moneyplays17 AHAHA i laughed pretty hard at this comment, because it speaks the truth.

[ROBERTALLENGRIFFETH]

this guy is a hot singer.

[samjarris]

I really like the coordination with the remote grab from within the TV screen.

[narutofan966]

Neil Patrick Harris is gay because he ran out of women.

[SrBBoY99]

This video shouldn't have dislike button because of the awsomnes that he is making!

[sharz6]

[BTVSCharmed]

[bevisandbutthead63]

@ChevronTango well just remember....you were one of the hits

[zusjeszondernaam]

best performance EVER <3

[ibelittledebster]

Neil would be such a fun friend to hang out with :D what a cool guy

[elwafu14]

The only reason he's gay is because if he is straight no guy could stand a chance against him

[nanas016]

88 people were blinded by Neal's awesomeness and clicked the dislike button instead

[BreezyZephyr]

oh thank god his gay so i have a chance to go get chicks

[chinghxd]

far out he is so freaking talented!! how could you even dislike this!!

[WingedWolf121]

daaamn, that guy has TALENT. I would've lost my breath about halfway through listing all the networks.

[darkroselight]

God I love you NPH wish you played for my team.

[dadben992]

U R so awsome.Hot guy.

[naszJ]

[JORDANDARKMAGIC]

she could turn a gay straight, oh wait never mind.

THERE'S JON HAMM :)

[hardy1107]

Neil Patrick Harris is actually gay to all those people having to make some much jokes about his sexuality ... he is a gun!

[medallionable]

who in the HELL disliked this?!?!?!?! love NPH and he did a fantastic job with this!!!

[ssjen501]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this man!!!

[TheBroadway95]

I love how NPH is talking about Christina Hendricks cuz 2 years later they'd be love interests in "Company" at the NY Phil.

[serenityy87]

88 people are lactose intolerant :)

[LilMissFlapper]

@LilWayneMetalGod so wait, not only are a prejudice jerk, but u can't spell either? my my ur just the whole package!

[Spav]

@LilMissFlapper ..I don't think you should go insulting people if you can't type either.

[apull001]

Awesome (:

[ReijiAoeGirl666]

wow. Classic.

[donpazer]

lots of homophobic comments.......probably straight

guys who are afraid that gay men might "convert them". LOLOL !!

[Malaikat31]

@LilWayneMetalGod obvious troll is quite obvious

[TheExtraNinja]

@LilWayneMetalGod Charlie Sheen's too busy being a tigerlock to do anything.

[lugger2010]

Would you believe he's a conservative? IM NOT LYING or KIDDING!!!!!

[F6mF6mF6m]

that was amaaaaaaaaaaazing god i love him XD

[MusicsMyOnlyEscape]

He's like....too....awesome.

[CheatingMimee]

CLASS.

[EphirothKnights]

If this guy is straight, other guys would never stand a chance on ladies because his awesomeness is just off the charts.

[AznMC08]

@EphirothKnights he is so awesome that even strait men would fall for him

[purplenurps]

@EphirothKnights No if a straight guy acted like this woman would think he was super gay

[Phamster92]

@purplenurps So straight guys aren't allowed to sing and be awesome? News to me.

[purplenurps]

@Phamster92 No straight man prances around the stage singing show tunes.

[Phamster92]

@purplenurps Didn't Frank Sinatra? 

[purplenurps]

@Phamster92 Don't know, did he?

[Phamster92]

@purplenurps Yup, he did, and Frank Sinatra was considered THE masculine man back in the day. Plus, he was quite the lady's man back then.

[purplenurps]

@Phamster92 Why did you ask if you knew? So what if he was a ladies man, it proves that he was in the closet and insecure about himself.

[Phamster92]

@purplenurps I knew after looking it up. I'm not the foremost expert on Frank Sinatra. Also, it proves nothing. The man could dance and he could sing. The only thing that proves was that he was talented. NPH is also talented, but HAPPENS to be gay. If you would further articulate your point, I'm willing to listen.

[purplenurps]

@Phamster92 What are you talking about? I never said anything about him being, most people who are complimenting him like you are bringing up the fact that he is gay. I just said no straight man would be like this on stage.

[Phamster92]

@purplenurps I believe that you're defining what constitutes heterosexuality and homosexuality by your understanding/perception of masculinity. Clearly, you do not believe singing and dancing on stage is masculine and therefore heterosexual. But just because you think it is, does not make it so.

[purplenurps]

@Phamster92 It is gay though, you even hear NPH and other gay broadway guys joke about it.

[Phamster92]

@purplenurps And where did they joke about it?

[purplenurps]

@Phamster92 Interviews, tv shows, movies etc etc

[TheGingi7]

@purplenurps Hugh Jackman

[purplenurps]

@TheGingi7 gayyyyy

[321yelhsa]

@purplenurps Personally, I would fall even harder for a guy if he was like that.

[purplenurps]

@321yelhsa Even though he was gay?

[purplenurps]

@321yelhsa But he's still gay

[321yelhsa]

@purplenurps But I'm not talking about Neil Patrick Harris, I'm talking about the straight guys who act like "this."

[purplenurps]

@321yelhsa yeah no straight guy acts like this

[purplenurps]

@321yelhsa yeah no straight guy acts like this

[spartan7hk]

@EphirothKnights he gay so men are safe

[HappyEnding71]

@EphirothKnights I think you mean he is legendary... rright?

[verticalsmurf]

Talented man!

[darkroselight]

I never get sick of watching this.

[waynechengg]

I'm surprised he hasn't EGOTed yet! so much talent!

[darkroselight]

Lol the Paula jokes never get old.

[jmkwm]

Wow. I'm impressed. :D

[ropuchK]

I've always somehow liked him, now I know why!

[crkyon2]

WTF he's got a surprisingly nice singing voice

what a talented guy

[delorean275]

@crkyon2 are you dense enough not to have seen anything by him besdides himym and harold and kumar?, he is a famed actor in musicals and in broadway

[toucan86]

I'll tell ya the man can hit notes like no other ummm wonder if he's Eva thinking bout making n album

[WiccaNightEmber]

That was so fucking epic. I LOVE NPH! Oh my God. He is a very talented man.

[TheGreatPurpleCrayon]

he needs to host again

[LuVit010]

C'mon people. It's great that you all write such nice things about is homosexuality, but is it really necessary to always mention it? He's just a talanted guy, we don't have to talk about is sexuality al the time.

[Pharcydeify]

@LuVit010 plus its fucking NPH!!!!

[KickYourAssYodaWill]

@LuVit010 But he is so fabolous

[Seirnflow26]

The only emmy opening that beats this is Conan's 2006 act.

[Zander10100]

One time Niel Patrick Harris performed in the Emmy's. True story. And it was LEGEN wait for it DARY!

[MadLaceann]
