So while we were out of the country, Neil was on… everything. The gallery is currently being updated with photos from the Smurfs World Premiere and the Smurf Week Kick Off Ceremony (there are a few up there already for both events, with more to come), and now I’m going to do a brief roundup of everything else. Thanks so much to Marcy for helping us out by giving us a heads up on what he was up to, so we weren’t totally floundering when we got back!

Last Monday Neil was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, which you can watch in two parts here and here (not region restricted).

He co-hosted Live with Regis and Kelly yesterday, and you can watch the host chat section here.

Neil will be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight, on NBC at 12.35/11.35c.

TV updates & a brief hiatus

By Rach | Published Mon Jul-18-11 -

Neil will be a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight, which airs at 11.35/10.35c on NBC.

Neil will also be guest hosting Live with Regis & Kelly next Monday, July 25th. Jayma Mays, who plays Neil’s wife in the upcoming Smurfs movie, will be a guest on the show that day.

And for our brief hiatus – both myself and Hilary are heading off to San Diego for Comic Con tomorrow, so there probably won’t be any updates until we get home sometime next week. We’ll be around on Twitter so if there’s any major news we’ll try and post about it, but if we miss anything, we’re not neglecting our duties!

News Roundup

By Rach | Published Mon May-31-10 -

Neil recently pledged his support after a fire destroyed an Albuquerque theatre where he once performed. Neil talked to Action 7 News about the disaster, and you can see a short interview with his brother Brian here.

“My brother Brian let me know about it and I looked it up online and I was shocked,” Harris told Action 7 News by phone. “I was John Darling in the production of ‘Peter Pan’ that they did. It was one of the first bigger scale things that I had ever done,” said Harris. Harris said he’s willing to increase awareness and help out however he can to keep this community theater from closing the curtain.”It’s a hard industry to maintain,” said Harris. “You know, community theatre is tough. It’s scrappy, and so to lose a lot of your resources in one fell swoop is a big blow.”

If you want to help out, the theatre will soon be accepting donations at their website, musicaltheatersw.com.

It has now been confirmed that Neil is voicing the character of Lou in Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. You can hear him briefly in the trailer at 0.40 and 0.58. The movie is due for release July 30 this year.

Finally, Neil is due to guest host Live with Regis & Kelly with Kelly Ripa next Monday, June 7th.
