Tony Awards: Let's (Again) Put On a (Hostless) Show!
For the second year in a row, CBS' broadcast of the Tony Awards will be host-free, Playbill.com reports. Instead, a cavalcade of big-name actors will engage in awkward banter before bestowing the awards on June 10. Presenters include Liev Schreiber, David Hyde Pierce and Kevin Spacey, all of whom are currently gracing the Great White Way, as well as past Broadway babies like Vanessa Williams, Neil Patrick Harris, Rainn Wilson and William Petersen. Marg Helgenberger will be there, too. (We hear she attended a Broadway show once.) — Reporting by Raven Snook

The show will probably be close to viewerless as well.

yeah, why can't they pick someone (anyone) to connect the show from start to finish?

Because sadly, and I say this as a huge theater fan, the folks behind the Tonys are idiots.

I'm not a theater fan, but if Hugh Jackman was hosting the Tonys, I'd watch just for him. Alas, he's filming Australia in Australia w/ Kidman and Baz Luhrman

Yeah, the Tonys needs a host. Hugh Jackman was awesome, two years in a row! I still remember vividly his dance with Sarah Jessica Parker and his conversation/kiss with Rod (Johnny T!) from Avenue Q. Ah, those were the days

Lame. Only theater geeks watch the Tonys anyway - why not book hosts that we care about?
PS: I nearly peed myself when I saw Joey Lawrence presenting at the Drama Desks. Now that's the kind of presenter we need!!!

As a matter of fact, Marg attended "Spring Awakening" with Liev earlier this year. True story.
