Neil Patrick Harris Was Fourth Choice To Host Oscars

Who says that if you are not on the medal stand you don't come out as a winner. Neil Patrick Harris was not in the top three choices to host the Academy Awards, but he came out a winner. The producers of the show wanted Ellen again. Meh. It is a nice safe choice and I think they should come back to her at some point in the future. Chris Rock was the second choice and I think he is the greatest stand up comedian alive right now which is exactly why I wouldn't want him hosting the Oscars. I don't need him to have tone down who he is or what he does and I think he would have to which is probably why he turned the producers down. Now, the next name they went after is one I can totally get behind. They went after Julia Louis Dreyfus. She would have been amazing. A little edgy and someone everyone loves and knows and can do sketches and everything you need to do in a show like this, but she also said no. So, finally they asked NPH who said yes very quickly and is a great choice. Should he have been the fourth choice though?
