- We're back with the wonderful, effervescent,
and extraordinary Neil Patrick Harris
and his husband David Burka!
- David Burka is here, I pulled him in.
- David, I just have to say that--
- Thanks, one person clapped,
that was exciting.
- Listen to this.
Well, we're very pared down over here.
(audience cheering) Oh, there we go.
Literally,
people make fun of me.
They're like, "She's alone in a big room
"doing her own thing."
I'm like, "No, I swear we have some people here."
The wonderful crew.
David, I really just have to say thank you again,
because you are so near and dear to my heart.
I had a really bad flight with my kids,
and they were both acting out,
two years old and three years old.
And you're always that person on the plane
what's just so horrified
that you're the one ruining everyone else's flight.
And you told me,
you were like, "I've been through it too.
"This is normal.
"You're doing a good job.
"It's okay, try to take the stress out of your body.
"People aren't as upset
"as you probably are projecting that they are,"
and you changed my life that day.
Because I flew with my children everywhere all the time,
I took them all over the place,
and you changed flying for me
'cause I was always so stressed and embarrassed.
So thank you. - I'm so happy.
- 'Cause we've all been there, right,
we've all been there.
We've had that crying child and you think you're,
you're horrified that you have this crying child
and everybody's looking at you,
but I'm so glad you got through it.
You did it with ease.
- Thank you, David.
And I love your entertainment lifestyle books.
I just think you're so amazing.
And you contribute so much to the world
and you contributed to one parent
that was really freaking out,
and it's just hard to be a parent with two kids
and you just want to make it kind of okay for everyone else,
and weirdly not many people are making it okay
for you in that moment,
and that's what you did.
And I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
And in fact, I will always pay it forward.
- My pleasure, my pleasure.
I'm so happy to help you that day.
- Yeah, yeah, no,
And you guys are just awesome parents
and I love watching you with your kids
and it's so spirited--
- Speaking of, where are the kids?
- The kids! (Drew laughing)
- Well, Neil, you and I were both children in the spotlight
and both children of the 80s,
and there's like a certain gal
that I'm excited to welcome back to the show.
She's also one in the spotlight and of the 80s.
Take a look.
She's an icon, a phenom,
and after bursting onto the scene,
please welcome Courtney! (audience cheering)
She's spent time with tastemakers, dignitaries,
and the simply divine Neil Patrick Harris.
but she's not just an international superstar.
She's an incredible friend and always knows what to say.
This is Courtney!
Ladies and gentlemen, Courtney!
(audience applauding)
Neil--
- Courtney got more applause than my husband.
(Drew laughing)
- Absolutely not, we love David.
And you grew up in the spotlight.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Courtney?
- Yeah, of course, Courtney, hi.
Listen, I do have a few things to say.
Courtney, I know that all of this seems fun now,
the parties,
the fame,
and that's because it is, it's fun.
But fame is fleeting
There is however one thing that will always be there for you
and do you know what that is?
That's right, Courtney, money.
So start saving those pennies and get those royalty checks,
'cause you're gonna need them
when your one woman show tanks
and your agents skips town to go to a spa in Jackson Hole.
- Courtney, listen to Neil.
I was once like you.
Young, wide-eyed, and born in a doll factory.
And the 80s are great,
but you know what else is great?
Becoming an adult.
Wait, Courtney, let me finish.
You need to hear this.
When you grow up,
you can be an actor, a singer, a magician,
or any one of the other thousand things Neil does.
So just you wait, Courtney,
you've got a big life ahead of you.
And who knows?
Maybe you too could be hosts like Neil and I.
- We're getting paid for this, right?
- Neil's right, save your money.
- Yes, thanks.
- Neil, I think that we've done a tremendous service today.
- I really do too and I feel like she heard us.
I feel like she really got us.
- Maybe she can be like us,
child actors who have grown up and,
and we're doing good.
Look, that's the bottom line.
Life is good.
Neil Patrick Harris,
you are the most amazing gentleman
and I'm just so glad you were on the show today.
It was such a privilege, so much fun to hang out with you.
I think we saved a life and--
- I think we saved a life
and we informed a lot of people about a great holiday gift.
Just saying.
- First of all, it's going in The Weekender.
This game is everything.
Everybody run out.
It is the most intelligent, unique, special, inventive game.
You are going to freak out.
It is just beyond words.
- Will you make me a single promise
that when you finish box one,
you will tell me what you thought of it
at the end of the experience,
'cause you're saying these wonderful things
and you haven't even finished the game,
which makes me beyond excited.
- And it's a challenge.
It's really, really,
it's just so great and I absolutely will follow through.
By the way,
right before I get out of here I just have to tell you
your performance in "Hedwig"
is one of my favorite ever in life
and I will never forget seeing you in that show.
And you won the Tony and it was so well deserved,
your performance was like none other.
And box one is available exclusively at Target stores
and online right now.
We'll be right back.
Neil Patrick Harris!
(upbeat music)
