“Tonys, Emmys, and then there’s only one thing left - the Telemundo Awards,” Neil Patrick Harris joked around with reporters after he got the Emmy nod - not a nomination, but the hosting gig.

Oh wait - he got the Emmy nod, too. Harris is up for the Best Supporting Actor award at the event, which airs on Sunday night. He’s got nowhere to go with the gig but up; last year’s Emmys got the worst ratings in the history of the event. Only 12.3 million tuned in to watch TV’s biggest stars walk the red carpet in 2008. Popular Neil Patrick Harris could help pull the ceremony out of the fire.
