The pilot for the US version of The Cube, which Neil is set to host, is filming in London this coming Thursday, February 4th, at Fountain TV Studios, Wembley Park. You can apply for free audience tickets from Lost in TV. Doors open at 6pm and close at 6.15, and the taping will last approximately 4 hours. The minimum age is 12 and under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Snacks and soft drinks will be provided during the break.

The hit UK TV gameshow THE CUBE is coming to U.S. Television. This is a gameshow with a twist – no general knowledge or physical fitness is required – just nerves of steel and determination. Contestants go head to head with the Cube as they complete simple tasks, under pressure, to win life changing amounts of money.

The Cube is a format originally produced by ITV and hosted by Philip Schofield. The set is already built; presumably should CBS pick up the series, a replica of the set would be built in the US for regular filming.

The next episode of HIMYM (airing on February 2nd) has had yet another title change!

The Magic Castle website has been update with a few more details on Neil’s hosting job at this year’s Academy of Magical Arts Awards on March 8th.

Neil will be joined in the performance by David Burtka, Dick Van Dyke, Zachary Quinto, Jane Leeves and many more. The show will be followed by a dinner and auction fundraiser.
