While Harris has served as the host of the Tony's for the past several years, the "How I Met Your Mother" star is taking the stage as a performer this year. Instead, Hugh Jackman is hosting the awards show this year, and the actor voiced his excitement on Twitter early on.
"Couldn't wait another minute… @TheTonyAwards @cbs #4thTime #Broadway #TheTonyAwards," he wrote on Feb. 11.
Jackman is hosting the show for the fourth time this year. The actor won the 2004 best actor in a musical Tony for "The Boy From Oz," and he has remained a beloved figure in the Broadway community.
The Tony Awards air on CBS live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on June 8.
