Neil Patrick Harris on Holiday Stress, Buying Gifts for His Twins & Friendship with Elton John

[@vyrnius]

I've watched HIMYM like 10x times but just now I realized what a heartwarming smile he has he seem so peaceful, kind and just balanced. I am the absolute opposite of him.

[@pandabear1809]

He will forever be know as Barney Stinson

[@thebrownguysmma1593]

Always

[@westernlegend4584]

This is his last play ever. The Neil patric Haris

[@luorix1908]

Legen....wait for it...dairy

[@AVintageNerd]

Depends on the generation. For Gen Xers he will always be known as Doogie Howser 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@elvis1745]

The Barnacle

[@andresp9262]

Such an underrated actor love his work. DC should put him as the riddler. I feel he would be so great for that role!

[@asyrafhardy2557]

💯💯💯

[@gwen3010]

I have loved Neil for years! What a great person he has grown up to be.

[@tekla5487]

yes, I watched him as Doogie when I was a kid and I can't believe that he's grown to be such a balanced and cool person (unlike many child actors). Plus, he's super handsome ;)

[@annemargaret8745]

"You know what I'll give her? COAL!" His maniacal laughter after was just comedy gold 🤣😭

[@bethb7965]

Neil is such a cool guy! Very down to earth, humble. Great sense of humor!

[@TheHappyQuadriplegic]

I freaking love NPH!! I loved him since forever. Specially on Harold and Kumar movies 😂

[@TitoTimTravels]

When he showed up in Harold & Kumar as "himself", that was too funny. 😎

[@yesvee7377]

He's a legend ever since Harold & kumar happened

[@rog2881]

I see NPH and think of insulin

[@Surge1077]

He's LEGEN......wait for it.....DARY!

[@marielmph4107]

Best part of those movies

[@aaronfelman1000]

NPH is insane. I went to one of his live shows many years ago, shot at Kaufman Studios in Astoria Queens. NPH tight rope walked, while Jack Black played an electric guitar that was literally on fire. Oh BTW, the show was LIVE!! 😜 Met NPH’s husband while bustling out and chatted him up for a minute, super nice guy.

[@katejung5785]

I wanna be in the room where it happens

[@TK-yh4hn]

He's just ridiculously talented 👍. I can't wait to see him in this movie. What an amazing cast! Huge range of talent.

[@ultimate-venom-games]

Neil Patrick Harris!!! Long live the Bro King! Also I didnt know he was in the new matrix movie but now I'm so excited for it!

[@kellyberesfordcole1239]

Neil Patrick Harris is an very versatile actor and talented love his work love him in undercover brother and how i met your mother hilarious, good man.

[@mr_a_1962]

Most people forget that he voiced Spider-Man two times. For an animated series and then a game, for which he even won the game award for best performance

[@randibgood]

Did not know this! The things you learn in the KZbin comment section! Lol

[@Navani456]

Phenomenal actor/performer, and I'm glad to see he's on his way to transforming into Sting

[@mariahdaley4773]

Just here to praise that beaver joke. One guy in the audience got it

[@williamkeith8944]

Whew, I guess I'm smart 'cause I got it also...I think🦡

[@jhdigital]

A lot of people got it because we see him and Jim Parsons for their acting and fame and respectful and aren’t concerned about whom they love

[@mann_von_welt]

I like his honesty when he says he is a fan of the first Matrix (but not 2 and 3).

[@marko6947]

The whole trilogy is great

[@swarleyyyy8206]

Don't know much about The Matrix movie franchise but now I'm compelled to watch the new movie because of Neil Patrick Harris. He is frickin' amazing !!!

[@dylanwestrand9507]

Definitely watch the first three movies before you watch this new one; you’re going to miss out on so much if not.

[@lidialondres]

I support the other comment 100%, please watch the other 3 first otherwise it won't make sense. You can have your own opinions on them afterwards, as you should, but please do not watch this one without the other 3.

[@swarleyyyy8206]

@@lidialondres yes of course I will watch the previous films first. Actually I wasn’t clear I meant NPH makes me interested in this franchise

[@ddd6171]

He is ama wait for it..... Zing

[@ultimate-venom-games]

For real though you are am amazing person Mr. Harris. Thank you for all your hard work over the years. You have entertained and delighted so many people. We can always count on you for when we need to smile and laugh. Thank you!

[@general_theo4]

He's just so "legen....wait for it...dary" 😂😍😍

[@jennvazquez]

NPH is the best! I’ve loved him since Doogie. So cute and so talented!

[@FreddyBadASS]

Neil was in Star Wars, he was Spider-man, Count Olaf, he was even in The Matrix, he's had some great roles!

[@MA-xz4ki]

And in Smurfs!

[@NewMessage]

He needs to do a cameo on the Good Doctor.

[@TitoTimTravels]

Never heard of that show, how about a cameo on the new Doogie? 😎

[@TitoTimTravels]

Never heard of that show, how about a cameo on the new Doogie? 😎

[@burnyizland]

I had no idea NPH was in this Matrix! I'm even more excited to see it now!!!

[@FVWhimsy2010]

I really appreciate actors and actresses who don't use fillers, Botox, or surgery to appear younger. Neil still looks charmingly and genuinely boyish.

[@DisruptedSinner]

NPH is just awesome in any capacity.

[@ubaidu11ah]

This actor is wait for it - Legendary

[@dn283]

you did it wrong

[@djsixdeuce]

Glad to see NPH in more and more movies. He was great in Gone Girl.

[@MsKylea]

Douglas"Doogie" Howser, MD. Anyone remember him typing on his computer at the end of each episode? Thought that was cool, bc this was before home computers was a thing!!

[@blynnegarrett6177]

Thanks for making me smile and laugh today. Hugs and blessings.

[@NychCwOfficial]

So I just heard of How I met Your Mother (I guess I lived under a rock) and been binge watching and omg dude is so funny 😆

[@amaljacobaugustine1445]

Welcome to the fandom :)

[@Candice7]

i love NPH he's such a great guy and funny as hell

[@rachitagarwala8949]

He is simply awesome

[@raystravel8325]

What an awesome guy.

[@nicolepittman8801]

*note from a parent that has gone though this. (a few times)* You know its time to get your kid a phone when YOU need them to have a phone. aka when they are getting independant enough to walk home from school and organize their own rides to activities ect.

[@kimberlyowens4558]

NPH has a dark side showed in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Loved, loved him BRILLIANT

[@petegtorcan]

“Aversion to beavers….” 😆💁🏻‍♂️

[@ridhimasingh8587]

I love nph so much !!! And Jimmy kimmel !!!

[@kahlobf2263]

[@MuhammadEgypt]

He's aging gracefully. The salt and pepper hair really suits him.

[@iomartube]

I literally got a KZbin advertisement for Glowforge right when Kimmel announced a commercial break lol

[@whimsical_me5135]

I was born in the same small town as Neil Patrick Harris and I am IMMENSELY proud of that❤

[@annjohnson8437]

Fun holiday interview! Very entertaining!

[@PlayhouseToys]

NPH you should start Harper with a pager, and work on up from there! Happy Holidays to you all at Jimmy Kimmel! Thanks for the laughs!!

[@xtinasui]

[@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD]

Barney is legendary, Spider-Man is amazing and Neil is great

[@morningsidedriverock]

Damn. He gave so much away about his role in The Matrix Resurrection without saying much.

[@krazycmcc3444]

I was so in love with Doggie ☺

[@OUT-FIT]

That beaver joke did NOT get the applause it deserved!

[@randibgood]

No, it did not. I laughed out loud in the middle of Wal-Mart. To absolutely nothing as far as the people around me were concerned.

[@bethb7965]

@@randibgood 😂 did people start walking further away from you??

[@randibgood]

@@bethb7965 No. Just a couple of glances. Being by yourself at Wal-Mart and laughing, is one of the more tame activities they usually see around there!

[@Jai-rd5ce]

So great to see Barney

[@elainems871]

He's one of the good ones !! Love him

[@danalmw]

GREAT interview. Loved it.

Gentlemens Goop really cracked me up. Gotta love NPH

[@88happiness]

I literally just came home from watching it an hour ago. I really enjoyed it.

[@faitherific]

"Gentleman's Goop" 🤣😂

[@carking1043]

this is going to be….legend…. wait for it….

[@nomisukeindustries]

My two cents: I believe a phone is a right of passage that is earned once responsibility is established without the suggestion of an authoritative figure. If you come home one day and a child shows genuine interest in something that they weren't told was important, it's time to consider talking about a phone. For instance: they develop a sense of duty to protect a possession that a parent or guardian did not expressly dictate as valuable (like they take great care in making sure a special toy isn't damaged by putting it in a protective case when it's not being played with). If a child shows that they can take great care of a toy without being instructed to do so, they may be able to take great care of a phone. Of course, it would have to be locked down like Tony Stark did to Spider-Man's first suit with the "training wheels protocol". You wouldn't want a 12-year-old to be exposed to social media quite yet. That's a whole other story.

[@harlinaindra6679]

In practice there are children who already have an Instagram account at 11 years old 😮

[@ashwinbenegal]

I love the this guy! 😘

[@fdrstan]

Starship Troopers is an absolute classic!

[@katel2126]

A Glowforge ad came on right after this video. Can’t believe the twins are 11 already!! 😲

[@moniquebish]

The national treasure NPH 💕🏆👏👏👏👏

[@chamuthenuja2937]

Real life Barney Stinson......ayee he talked about his blog here too...😂❤

[@Ireneharnack1138]

Logically, if a child wants their own phone, and you're not confident as to whether or not to get them a phone, it makes sense to me that you tell the kid that the moment they have a job that will not only pay for the phone but that they could pay for the service on their own for an year.

[@EvilMonkeyReturns]

NPH preached he wasn't getting his daughter a phone in 8-Bit Christmas, and his daughter in the movie is about the same as real life, so it's good that he's standing by his own words from the movie.

[@dr.OgataSerizawa]

@@EvilMonkeyReturns She will have a phone very soon. Probably before she’s 12. Phones are like what bicycles were to kids in 1960.

[@pankhuritandon031]

9:17 i cant be the only one getting himym vibes from this

[@jeffreyglenellen1188]

NPH is feeling good😆

[@yugesh2974]

We are about to witness "The Guest" from the Playbook..

[@marko6947]

The whole Matrix trilogy is great

[@victoriahiggins5458]

Twelve for getting a phone, as that's usually the age when they're old enough to go places in groups without adults. But they're still young enough to not realize that ditching friends (or being ditched) can have scary and even dangerous consequences. For me, it's a safety issue for all middle schoolers, regardless of gender.

[@ChipCain]

Actual legend.

[@bige9219]

Always suited up !!

[@katt5454]

Jimmys face when someone started clapping then the audience clapped when NPH mentions dukey hazard 😂
