Tonys Provide Neil Patrick Harris and Brett Michaels Concussion

The Tonys – LOSERS

The annual awards show for Broadway was last night and boy was it about as boring as ever (I'm not saying Broadway is boring, just their awards show).  CBS sent out a press release today claiming victory in the fact that this year was the most watched Tonys in three years and had over 18% increases in several key demographics, but they left out the fact that only scored a 1.4 rating in the key 18-49 demographic.  The awards gala did provide a few great YouTube moments for our Monday morning, but other than that it was a snore.  The Tonys…..LOSERS.

Neil Patrick Harris – WINNER

Neil Patrick Harris hosted the Tonys last night and it just doesn't get any better than Dr. Horrible himself giving away awards.  This guy is classy, quick on his feet, handsome, fun, likeable, and he's even gay! (I have no idea why that's important.)  Seriously, if there was only one shred of anything that made the Tonys bearable last night it was Neil Patrick Harris' stint as host, and you can bet your ass that the rise in numbers that CBS was boasting about were probably completely due to him.  Neil Patrick Harris…WINNER!

Brett Michaels Concussion – BIGGEST LOSER

Okay, wait, Poison was in a broadway musical?  For those of you who've been in a coma today, Brett Michaels knocked himself stupid (well, more stupid) as he exited the stage of the Tonys when a set prop was lowered onto his head.  LOL.  Let me say that one more time…A set prop was lowered onto his head!  Not only did the poor guy get knocked to the ground in front of a live audience, but then his slightly squashed cowboy hat remained on stage for the rest of the number.  It could be seen a few minutes later getting stomped on by the cast of Shrek the musical.  Now if there's one thing that i never thought I'd see, its an Ogre dancing on Brett Michaels hat.  And if that wasn't enough, Neil Patrick Harris even got to come out later and make jokes about it (since Brett was okay and all, apparantly we can all make fun of him now).  The Tonys might have only had seven million viewers see Brett get slammed last night, but don't worry, the other 297 million of us got to see the clips on YouTube and the rest of the web today.  So basically we're all winners in this one, and Brett is the BIGGEST LOSER!
