Neil Patrick Harris is about to add another item to his ever-expanding resume: variety show host.
The former “How I Met Your Mother” star and upcoming Oscars host will star in a variety show for NBC, an individual familiar with the project told TheWrap Monday.

The series, which has received a 10-episode order from NBC, will be adapted from the British offering “Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway,” which presents a mix of sketches and games.
“As I watched the show, I couldn’t stop smiling. Now that I’ve seen many seasons, my face hurts. It’s a game changer,” said Harris of “Saturday Night Takeaway.” “Nothing like this has been done before, and its unique structure fits right into my random skill set. I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and have some fun!”
