Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris was a live, one-hour show that aired on NBC in 2015. The show was hosted by the multi-talented actor, Neil Patrick Harris, who was known for his roles in How I Met Your Mother and the Broadway musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Harris was joined by Nicole Scherzinger, who acted as his co-host and performed various musical numbers throughout the show.

The show was inspired by the British series Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and followed a similar format. Each episode was divided into several segments, which included pranks, challenges, audience participation, and musical performances. Some of the popular segments included "Neil vs." where Harris competed against a celebrity guest in a challenge, "Sing Along Live" where the audience could win money by correctly singing along to popular songs, and "The End of the Show Show" which featured a big musical number.

One of the unique aspects of Best Time Ever was that it was a live show, which added an element of unpredictability and excitement. The show also incorporated social media, with viewers being encouraged to participate in challenges and vote on various segments via Twitter and the show's app.

In addition to Harris and Scherzinger, the show featured various celebrity guests, including Reese Witherspoon, Jack Black, and Shaquille O'Neal, among others. The show also had a dedicated team of writers, producers, and crew who worked behind the scenes to make each episode entertaining and memorable.

Best Time Ever received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising Harris's charisma and the show's energy, while others criticized the show's lack of originality and reliance on gimmicks. Despite the mixed reception, the show had a dedicated fan base and was able to attract millions of viewers each week.

However, despite its popularity, Best Time Ever was short-lived and only aired for one season. Harris later stated that the show was extremely challenging to produce and that the live aspect of the show made it difficult to maintain a high level of quality consistently. Nevertheless, Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris remains a fun and entertaining show that showcased Harris's charm and versatility as a performer.
