TV Review: Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris. With director Glenn Weiss (Peter Pan Live - 2014) at the helm, and NPH wearing too many hats (Host, Writer and Producer), this new series (inspired by the U.K. program "Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway") was not the best time ever! Sure, the production was live, but that doesn't mean it gets a "pass" on being good, interesting or entertaining. Heck, if Weiss couldn't pull off "Peter Pan Live," why would NPH think he could pull off his live show? The various entertainment segments were time consuming and less than interesting, guest announcer Reese Witherspoon appeared forced in everything she participated in, and poor Gloria Gaynor looked out of place. I think one of the "The Voice" judges summed up the show best (after being punked by NPH) by saying "What the ...." In the words of the "Shark Tank" panelist "For that reason, I'm out".
