FOX has confirmed that How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris has inked a deal to guest star on an upcoming episode of Glee. Details of NPH’s role on the musical series have not been released, but Entertainment Weekly cites sources who claim Harris will likely be featured in an episode scheduled to air this May.
“The fans will love it,” says a show insider. His character is “really funny and really mean….much more of the Dr. Horrible variety than Doogie Howser, M.D.”
Glee airs Wednesday nights on FOX.
