As the host of the 2012 Tony Awards, Neil Patrick Harris is supposed to remain impartial regarding whom he’d like to see walk away with the awards for excellence in Broadway theater, but the charismatic How I Met Your Mother star let his choice for Male Actor in a Lead Role I’d Most Like to Hang Out With, slip during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, earlier this week.

My first response would be Nick Jonas, but that would probably sound dirty, so I’ll go with Paul Rudd. I’m a fan. He’s one of those guys who can do it all.

Oooh how we love your wry wit NPH!

While Nick Jonas isn’t nominated for his work in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, the 19-year-old former pop star is sure to make a cameo on the red carpet in support of his fellow Broadway heavyweights.

Hey, you never know, he may even get spoofed in NPH’s always-hilarious opening number!  Fingers crossed!
