Neil Patrick Harris is joining the Freak Show. And no, we're not talking about the Oscars.

Harris and his husband, David Burtka, will guest-star on the fourth installment of American Horror Story later this season, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

Harris will play a salesman in the final two episodes, and Burtka will appear in the season finale as part of a "sexy storyline" with Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange), according to TVLine, which first reported the news.

Creator Ryan Murphy invited Harris to appear on American Horror Story: Freak Show back in July, via Twitter. The two previously collaborated when Harris guest-starred on an episode of Glee in its first season.

There's no word on whether Harris will sing on the show; however, this could be a nice warm-up for his upcoming variety series on NBC.
