The show can’t go on without a steady, fearless host, and the hosts of the Seventh Annual TV Land Awards go above and beyond the call of duty – from stealth impromptu interviews to daredevil stunts and A-grade heckling.

Judah Friedlander

Wonderfully disarming actor Judah Friedlander returns for his second year as the TV Land Awards online host. Best known for playing head writer Frank Rossitano on the award-monopolizing NBC comedy 30 Rock with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, he’s also a talented stand-up comedian whose on-stage “World Champion” persona has won him fame and more than a cult following. It also gets him all the chicks.

Friedlander has appeared in more than 20 films, among them Meet the Parents, Zoolander, Wet Hot American Summer and American Splendor, for which he received an Independent Spirit Awards nomination. His numerous TV appearances include turns on Flight of the Conchords, Best Week Ever, Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Tonight Show. Judah also starred as the “Hug Guy” in the Dave Matthews Band’s “Everyday” video.

Friedlander terrorized the red carpet at the 2008 TV Land Awards, interviewing classic and current TV stars like Kathy Griffin, Robin Williams, Jack Klugman, the cast of The Office, and more. He’ll be returning in his trademark bedazzled trucker cap to highlight this year’s multitude of talent.

Neil Patrick Harris

TV icon Neil Patrick Harris, best known for his breakout role as Doogie Howser, M.D., will host the Seventh Annual TV Land Awards.

The acclaimed actor -- who can now be seen in his Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated role as womanizer Barney Stinson on the hit show How I Met Your Mother -- is equally successful both on stage and the silver screen. Fans will remember his hilarious turns in both Harold and Kumar films (playing a more dastardly version of himself) and Undercover Brother.

Patrick’s Broadway resume includes a memorable turn in the dual roles of The Balladeer and Lee Harvey Oswald in the Tony Award-winning musical “Assassins.” He recently utilized his on-stage expertise behind the velvet curtain, making his directing debut with the original comedic script “I Am Grock.” He also directed “The Expert at the Card Table” at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
