Hilarious Video: Tracy Morgan Attacks Neil Patrick Harris

I've never been a big fan of the follwing two things:

Jimmy Kimmel and those pre-award show specials that typically feature someone like Barbara Walters throwing hard hitting questions like "Where do you see yourself in five years?" to some actor like George Clooney while sitting on his poolside spacious patio.

So I still don't know what made me record "Jimmy Kimmel's Big Night of Stars" before the Emmy awards on Sunday night, but I'm glad I did.

I got home this afternoon and couldn't make it through the first five minutes of "Worst Week" (as in how you will feel for the next seven days after watching this show) before I went searching through my DVR listings and found Kimmel's special.

And while I'll never be his biggest fan, I gotta give Kimmel a lot of credit: he turned the Pre-Award Special on its head by making fun of every little nuance possible. He interviewed Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, "30 Rock's" Tracy Morgan, movie star Salma Hayek, and the five Emmy hosts and did a good job of keeping the bits grounded and getting the interviewees to play along.

I definitely recommend trying to find the entire broadcast (Kimmel and Hayek do a brilliant musical number together), but the best part has to be the Tracy Morgan interview posted below - if nothing else, start watching at the 7:03 mark where Tracy attacks "How I Met Your Mother's" Jason Patrick Henry, er, I mean Neil Patrick Harris.
