Harris will take part in the celebrity-interview portion of the show, where he will be interviewed by Short's alter ego, Jiminy Glick. Among the many other celebrities who have occupied the "hot seat" are Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Nathan Lane, Rosie O'Donnell, Bernadette Peters, Conan O'Brien, Rosanne Barr, Jimmy Fallon, Regis Philbin, Al Roker, Stephen Colbert, Stanley Tucci, Dennis Miller, Kristin Chenoweth, James Belushi, Tracey Ullman, Martha Stewart, Larry King and Bette Midler.

Neil Patrick Harris has been seen on Broadway Assassins, Cabaret and Proof. He appeared in the Geffen Playhouse's production of All My Sons as well as the L.A. company of Rent, the Reprise! production of Sweeney Todd and the London mounting of tick, tick . . . BOOM! His screen credits include "How I Met Your Mother," "Undercover Brother," "Doogie Howser, M.D.," "Stark Raving Mad" and "Joan of Arc."

As previously announced, Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, the new production spotlighting the talents of Tony Award winner Short, will play its final performance at the Jacobs Theatre Jan. 7, 2007, at 3 PM.

Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me was conceived by Tony Award winner Short (Little Me) and Hairspray's Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. The production features music by Shaiman (who is also a cast member), lyrics by Wittman and Shaiman and direction by Wittman. Charlie Alterman is the musical director. Wittman and Shaiman's Fame Becomes Me score includes such tunes as "Stepbrother de Jesus," "12 Step Pappy" and "Sniff, Sniff."

Daniel Goldfarb co-wrote the book, and Alan Zweibel is also part of the creative team, providing "additional material." The structural nature of the long-gestating show is described thusly: "Leading the audience through a breathless 100 minute romp, Short re-enacts such imagined lifetime high points as his birth in 1976; his abusive father, a legendary Saskatchewan song and dance man; his heartbreaking Golden Globe-nominated performance as a mentally challenged concentration camp survivor and even his afterlife in show biz heaven. Along the way, superstars including Sarah Jessica Parker, Liz Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, Jodi Foster and Renee Zellweger are conjured nightly along side Short's unforgettable characters Jiminy Glick, Ed Grimley and Irving Cohen."
