Neil Patrick Harris: "I shattered dreams"

In what can already be seen as a VFTW Victory, Neil Patrick Harris likely didn't disappoint as one of the guest judges in the Paula Abdul replacement rotation for American Idol 9's auditions. Neil told Entertainment Weekly some fun facts about his time judging:

  • He says "I shattered dreams." Loving it.

  • He had conspiracies like a good Worster. "I thought there was a lot more shady dealing going on in there. I thought they would say, “This is one that we held for two years, this is a ringer, we want to keep him in,” or, “Go to town on this one.” There’s nothing going on. It’s exactly like it is." So it turns out that the producers just didn't let Neil in on who was a ringer and who wasn't to protect their secrets.

  • He got the gig because he's friends with Kara. So yes, someone actually likes Kara DioGuardi.

  • The judges were only there for 4 hours the day he worked. So when they complain that they're "so tired" or "bored", it's lame, because they only have to work 4 hour days.

We're excited to see what NPH has to say to the contestants. Let's hope he helped get a bad contestant or two through to Hollywood.

4 hours? I seriously thought they had to work from morning til night by the way they act all the time, especially Simon. What bullshit.

That's some fancy editing they have there, they really do try and give the impression that they are at it from dawn till midnight, but they have to do that to con the sheeple into thinking they are getting through a Stadium full of hopefulls. There was no need to let NPH, or any of the other guest judges, in on who to let through, as his vote was out-numbered 3-1 by the Stooges.

This is the NPH I know and love that saw the awesomeness in a slacker-nerd movie like Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and needed to be a part of it.

He also said something in an interview about asking Simon for advice on how to do a good job, and Simon was all like well it beats him because all he does is wing it.

LOLs

Someone likes Kara DildoGuardi? Never thought I'd mutter those words. Although I will make sure my DVR records this episode and make sure my brother doesn't cancel it to watch George Lopez.
