Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris - Season 1
Trailer
Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris is an American live television variety series. Inspired by the U.K. program 'Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.' Neil Patrick Harris puts his myriad skills to work as the star of this live show, which is in a class of its own on the current landscape of American television. Based on popular British hit 'Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway,' the show is a modernized variety show complete with entertaining stunts, skits, pranks, audience interaction, musical numbers, giveaways and any number of surprises, proving that with this multi-talented star at the helm, anything can happen.
[Neil Patrick Harris is] hampered here by a format that might work better on daytime TV than at night, and better in the U.K. than here, and ... by a show that's almost willfully aggravating, he may have met his match with Best Time Ever.
There really wasn't much variety to speak of in Best Time Ever after all, and precious little entertainment value. Maybe it will improve, but who'll be watching now that everything else is on?
Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris...featured Harris singing, flipping on pogo sticks, zip-lining, and playing pranks so harmless they should be diminutized to prankies.
Best Time Ever has been described as a variety show, but the reality was more comedy-game-prank show, with segments that felt like outtakes from Fallon or Kimmel, or possibly from Harris' failed Oscars gig.
