Third Eye Blind: Totally Not Gay Hugh Jackman, Again, to Host 68th Annual Tony Awards on June 8

An Emmy award-winner for his 2004 gig as a Tony-giver, Wolverine himself, Hugh "Logan" Jackman, will make an unprecedented third-time appearance as the much sought-after host of the 68th annual Tony Awards on June 8.

Jackman and former child doctor Neil Patrick Harris have been ranked the most popular hosts of Broadway's biggest night, trading each other off for hosting duties over the last five years.

The duo, though, has branched out into other endeavors. Jackman hosted the Oscars, and Harris topped him as the hilarious, viral host of the Primetime Emmys.

"Hugh is the ultimate performer--actor, singer and dancer--he does it all, second to none," said CBS' Jack Sussman.

"Hugh is an extraordinary talent and loyal supporter of the Broadway community--whether he is onstage or in the audience," added Charlotte St. Martin of the Broadway League.

With that in mind, be sure to save the June 8 date for this year's Tonys. One can only hope the lovely pair perform another sing-off, as they did back in 2011.
