"Since they're closed for retooling, we're using all the rigging equipment from 'Spider-Man.' What could possibly go wrong," Harris joked in a press release.
Although this will be Harris' second go at the Tony hosting gig -- he hosted the show to rave reviews in 2009 -- we can't imagine that his none-newbie status takes off any of the pressure to perform.
"I'm honored and stoked to have been asked to host the 2011 Tony Awards," he said. "It should be a great show -- we've got a fantastic mix of live performances [and] a few secret surprises."
Catch the 'How I Met Your Mother' actor and new dad when he takes the stage on June 12, live from the Beacon Theatre in New York City.
"We're thrilled to have Neil back as our host," executive producers, Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss said. "And we're even happier he fits in the 'Spider-Man' rigging."
We have a feeling that these 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' jabs are going to be more than a motif once the Tony curtain goes up.
