NEW YORK - Oct. 8, 2015 - Golden Globe-nominated actor and musician Jack Black arrives as guest announcer on "Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris," which shifts to 8 p.m. ET Tuesday, Oct. 13.
Throughout the show, Black will take a position in the show's guest announcer booth to give the audience a preview of what's to come throughout the hour.
In Tuesday's episode, fan favorite segment "Singalong Live" will be headlined by The B-52s. In "Singalong Live," three home viewers are challenged to complete the lyrics to a popular karaoke song in a live sing-along led by an iconic musical performer.
Olympic Gold medalist Apolo Ohno returns as a correspondent for "Ticket to Slide," where one lucky couple will have the chance to win the trip of a lifetime when Ohno turns up live in their city with a giant inflatable slide. Disguised in elaborate prosthetics, Harris turns the cameras on Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie when he goes undercover for a fun-filled prank on the "Today" anchors. The episode will feature other surprises and culminate with a red-hot "End Of The Show Show" featuring Queen of the Night.
"Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris" is a live one-hour show unlike any other on American television, featuring appearances by A-list stars, stunts, comedy skits, incredible performances, mini game shows, audience giveaways and hidden camera pranks.
