Tony Award winner Neil Patrick Harris will soon come to NBC on a new primetime variety series based on the hugely popular U.K. format "Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway," which was created by ITV Studios, Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. The Tony and Emmy winner appears in an all-new promo which will air this Sunday, February 1 during the SUPER BOWL. Check it out below!

Harris, who has served as an Emmy and Tony Award host and will serve as host of the 2015 Academy Awards, will bring his multi-dimensional skills to the forefront of this new hourlong series.

NBC's new variety series will feature comedy sketches, musical numbers, mini game shows, hidden camera pranks on celebrities and appearances by A-list stars. NBC has ordered 10 episodes from ITV Studios America, all of which will be filmed in front of a live audience. The show is scheduled to debut this Fall.
