Sean Hayes to Host the Tony Awards

SeanHayes100.jpgSo just how do the American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League plan on topping last year's Neil Patrick Harris-hosted Tonys? By appointing Sean Hayes as fearless presenter of the 64th ceremony on June 13 at Radio City Music Hall. Hayes has had a very busy two months -- after starring in the Broadway hit Promises, Promises alongside Kristin Chenoweth, the Will & Grace star came out of the closet, was dragged unwittingly into controversy when a Newsweek editorial writer isolated Hayes as an example of gay men being unconvincing in straight roles... [deep breath]... earned a Tony nom, and now this. Phew. [Deadline]

    It's doubtful the television audience will believe him as a host.

    He's going to be such an amazing host! The Tonys are looking good this year! Sean Hayes as a host alongside presenterse like Michael dougless and Lucy Liu will make for an exciting show! I think Hayes is the perfect choice!
