Neil Patrick Harris says he was offered Late Show
In a stunning blow to Stephen Colberts everywhere, Neil Patrick Harris says he was offered Late Show With David Letterman, but turned it down. Harris told Howard Stern that CBS head Les Moonves asked him during some very preliminary talks whether he’d be interested in taking over for Letterman. Harris says he declined, saying he “knew what [his] skill sets were.” He also thought he’d “get bored of the repetition fast,” saying he’d have no “interest in doing monologue, commercial, sketch, guest, guest, guest, musical act, good night.”
