Neil Patrick Harris has earned four consecutive Primetime Emmy nominations for his work as 'Barney Stinson' on long-running comedy How I Met Your Mother, among other prestigious honors.

The multifaceted entertainer has drawn broad accolades for his turns as host of the Primetime Emmy Awards in 2009 and 2013, and host of several Tony® Awards galas. Harris also served as a producer of 2013's 65th Primetime Emmy Awards.
