Comedy Talk: Neil Patrick Harris Works Magic on Regis and Kelly
How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris — who plays Barney Stinson, my second favorite character on the show after Robin Scherbatsky — dropped by Live with Regis and Kelly this morning to talk up his CBS sitcom and his forthcoming big-screen comedy sequel Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.
After performing a brief magic trick for the awed and amazed hosts, the amateur magician confirmed that How I Met Your Mother has not been renewed for another season yet — I honestly don’t know what CBS is waiting for — before moving on to the new movie.
As in the first flick, which did a nice job stealing a piece of the pop-culture pie for itself, Harris plays an “extreme version of himself.” To prove it, he brought along a clip where his character tries to help Harold and Kumar escape their oppressors.
Apparently, the latter two stoner idiots end up at notorious Guantanamo Bay after attempting to sneak dope into Amsterdam. I guess they learned nothing when they had such a hard time going to White Castle.
Check out the entire two-part interview immediately after the jump.

I love NPH. I used to think he was just another child star, but over the years I’ve come to appreciate his acting ability a lot. In addition, he just seems like a really nice guy! I caught him on Dinner Impossible not too long ago and he was very good.
