  • You are a, oh, look at this!

  • What is this, what is this?

  • How are they?

  • They're not bad!

  • Hi, I'm Neil Patrick Harris, and I've been asked to read questions while playing with puppies.

  • And how do you say no to that?

  • Hi! You're that cute! Oh!

  • Here's a question, what's one of your weirdest or funniest fan encounters?

  • I had an old timey fan once, he was squeaky.

  • So then I got one of the newer Dyson fans, that's better.

  • If you had to give Count Olaf one genuine compliment, what would it be?

  • He is devilishly handsome.

  • He has metal, you know what that means?

  • Not metal like your collar, but metal, gumption.

  • What are you plans after the third season?

  • I'm assuming last season it will catch up to the last books of A Series of Unfortunate Events,

  • And when it wraps filming, will you go back to Broadway?

  • Um, that's my lace, of my shoe, thank you.

  • Um, I'd love to go back to Broadway some day.

  • I'm looking forward to resting.

  • A Series of Unfortunate Events is super fun

  • but all kinds of exhausting,

  • much like, you know when you really have to take a dump?

  • But you can't, because you're not outside?

  • You know that feeling, and you really gotta go?

  • And then you finally go and you're like, oh I need a rest,

  • that's kinda my life right now.

  • Hey question, what's the craziest rumor you've heard about yourself?

  • Um, that i was on Malcolm in the Middle.

  • In a movie about your life,

  • who would you want to play you and David

  • Oh, that's a good question, who would play me?

  • Josh Dummel.

  • Who would play David?

  • Nick Jonas. Next question!

  • C'mon, c'mon.

  • This is my favorite, are we allowed to pick a favorite?

  • This one, fine, okay, it's the other one.

  • Fine, it's the other one then.

  • What in your opinion, was Count Olaf's best disguise?

  • They were all pretty good.

  • I think I like the Detective DuPaul the best, right?

  • He's in the bile village episodes.

  • And he's a hipster man and he talks like this!

  • Everything he says boop da da boop boop, cool.

  • Is there a celebrity that you've met that left you completely starstruck?

  • David Franco. Easy to look at.

  • To put it bluntly, Count Olaf is a garbage human.

  • How do you get into character to play such a despicable person?

  • It's kinda easy because if your ever grumpy, or wishing that you were,

  • or if you're down and negative,

  • you can just channel that into the character.

  • How often do you get to play someone who is downright awful, answer me!

  • Do you still talk to the HIMYM cast?

  • Would you ever consider collaborating or reuniting with the cast down the line?

  • I do still talk to the HIMYM cast, mostly Cobie Smulders,

  • because when you have kids that are similar ages.

  • And she and Taran, her husband, lived in New York for a bit,

  • but yeah we text and shoot the breeze.

  • I don't think we'd ever reunite on the show.

  • Now you are, you are a troublemaker, yes you are.

  • Yes, thank you.

  • These are so cute these dogs.

  • You played a lot of really different characters,

  • do you have a favorite one?

  • My favorite is probably... I don't know. Shirley St. Ives was fun.

  • She was a girl, and I sorta got to play like she was a mad man.

  • She talked like this, it was less fun when I had to pee.

  • Because I was wearing padding and spanx.

  • And kind of tucking, you know.

  • Do you appreciate it when fans come up to you in public, or is it annoying?

  • No, it's never annoying. I like fans when they come up, I like when people say nice things.

  • Less fun is when they just try to take your picture, while you're eating at a restaurant,

  • because that's never a good picture.

  • I'm like talking in the middle of a conversation, scowling or something, I look over, someone like this...

  • But if someone comes up and says something nice, that's always fun to hear, right?

  • Uh this one, this one, lover boy, girl?

  • Would you ever host the Tony's again?

  • Oh I would love to do that again.

  • It's a hard job though, maybe some day,

  • I need to take some time off.

  • The Tony's are great fun, great show for the host.

  • Because there's all the performances, it is the best show to watch.

  • It's all performances by people who are doing shows live.

  • So then you get the live show, all around you.

  • What did you learn as a young actor in Doogie Howser, M.D. that helped you later in life as an adult actor?

  • How to suture my own wounds.

  • How to neuter dogs, that hasn't helped me that much.

  • What has been the most memorable moment in your life that you would like to cherish forever?

  • Oh man, the birth of my children.

  • Holding newborn babies, that came from you, that's a pretty amazing thing.

  • Kids by the way would love you guys.

  • Thank God they're not here, because I would be leaving with four more dogs.

  • How do you go about choosing the themes for your family's Halloween costumes each year?

  • And can you hint at some potential options for this year?

  • No hints, we have talked about it. It's much more of a negotiation now.

  • Because the kids speak the English language and have opinions.

  • Before was so much easier. Here, put on this Hawaiian costume.

  • Here you look like Dorthy. Snap

  • Now it's, c'mon, it'll be fun!

  • You're gonna do this, you're gonna wear this, put this on.

  • No, we don't do that.

  • What do you think happened with Barney after the show ended,

  • and what would he be up to now?

  • Um, probably same old same old, what would he be up to?

  • Two fingers of scotch, and probably, 15 chips.

  • What's your go-to karaoke song?

  • That's a good question, Rocket Man is good.

  • I tend to go with Elton John songs, because they're fun.

  • I also know all the words to The Devil went down to Georgia.

  • That was my New Mexico rap days.

  • He was in a bind, because he was way behind.

  • He was willing to make a deal.

  • When he came across the young man,

  • Sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot.

  • What's your idea of a perfect day?

  • Playing with puppies.

  • Or probably a perfect day would be, with my family, in Hawaii, on the beach,

  • drinking a Pina Colada, and riding Disney theme park attractions.

  • I don't think there's a Disney theme park in Hawaii,

  • but that would be a perfect day.

  • Okay, that's my arm, thank you.

  • Out of all the villains in Count Olaf's theater troupe, who is your favorite?

  • I got a soft spot for Hook Hand Man,

  • because he is my right hook man.

  • Last question, if you were willingly going to visit a deserted island for a few days

  • and could only have three things with you, what would you bring?

  • Three things on a deserted island.

  • A lighter or a tarp, one of those phones,

  • that you can call people that saves you.

  • Luxury items I'd probably bring, I don't know, a ukulele?

  • NoHe said no I'm biting his shoe.

  • Um, maybe a "FLASHLIGHT".

  • Alright, those are all my questions. Thank you for asking them

  • And thanks for all these puppies, who are all available if you want to own one of these.

  • They're all from the North Shore Animal League.

  • So, thanks to the amazing people there for doing that,

  • and come give yourself an angry, biting dog, ow!

  • See ya.
