  • Watchlist

Place a multi-threat performer, a variety show, a game show and a talk show into a blender, turn it on, and the resulting mixture is "Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris". With the help of a different celebrity announcer every week, his regular stable of sidekicks and other celebrity friends, NPH kvetches with, plays games with and pranks studio audience members, at home viewers, and even unsuspecting people going about their regular business who have no idea that they will be on the show. He challenges his several celebrity friends to races and games, often of an extreme nature. And each show ends with a production number appropriately called the end of the show show.

Guest announcer Reese Witherspoon introduces the line-up for the show and Neil, who demonstrates how well he knows some of the audience members. In "Singalong Live", some at-home viewers play a game of musically filling in the lyric for some cash prizes. In "Neil Vs.", Neil and his appointed challenger go to extreme heights to race to the finish line. In "Undercover", guest Carson Daly talks to Neil about the prank Neil pulled on Carson and the coaches of The Voice (2011). In "Get Lucky", Neil plays a current events multiple choice question and answer game with an audience member, who has the potential to win a multitude of prizes dependent on providing correct answers. And the end-of-the-show show features Neil performing with some of his previous on-stage guests, as well as a marching band, flair bartenders and x-pogoers.
