Pre-Sketchfest interviews

By Rach | Published Sun Jan-23-11 -

As Neil is taking part in Sketchfest tonight and tomorrow, a couple of San Francisco-based publications have featured interviews with Neil in the last week. He talked to San Francisco Examiner:

The Emmy-winning actor is making three different festival appearances this weekend.

“I’m very excited about Dick Cavett-ing myself,” Harris says of one gig, “for a conversation with Brian Henson to talk all things Muppet — past, present, future. I’m a — you’ll pardon the pun — gonzo fan.”

And 7x7SF:

What’s your vote for best picture of the year?
I haven’t seen True Grit yet, but I’m saying Black Swan. I really responded to it. Darren Aronofsky and Natalie Portman really did something special there.

CBS show The Talk is nominated for a GLAAD award in the Outstanding Talk Show Episode category, for the episode in which Neil did his first interview since the birth of the twins. GLAAD announce the winners at three separate ceremonies in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the awards are split between the three events. They will take place between March and May.

Neil wins People’s Choice Award

By Rach | Published Thu Jan-6-11 -

Congratulations to Neil on winning Favourite TV Comedy Actor for his role in HIMYM. HIMYM itself was beaten by Glee in the Favourite TV Comedy category (so technically a win for Neil either way!) and he was beaten to the Favourite TV Guest Star award for his role in Glee, by Demi Lovato for her appearance on Grey’s Anatomy.
