Neil Patrick Harris was Big Al at Alabama"s season opener against Wisconsin in Dallas.
No, really. The multi-talented actor strolled the sidelines and stands as the Crimson Tide mascot, unbeknownst to a couple he"d surprise later on his show.
The host of the brand new NBC variety show"Best Time Ever" surprised Tuscaloosa couple Teresha and Oronde Hamilton during a segment called "Best Days of Your Life" in which he followed the couple to three different places to appear on camera without them knowing.
To open the segment, Harris walked through his audience and told a select few facts about them they didn"t know he knew. He stopped at the Hamiltons, revealed he knew Oronde had his hair cut twice weekly and then invited them on stage for more.
They revealed their hometown and belted a nice "Roll Tide!" before Harris told them he knew they were staying at the Plaza hotel in New York because he actually opened their car door and took their bags as soon as they arrived. The host was in disguise.
"Being from Tuscaloosa, you must be huge Alabama football fans?" Harris asked, while they confirmed yes. "Did you guys make it to the season opener against Wisconsin?"
They did, and Harris then revealed he attended the game, too. In the next clip, you see Harris wearing a crimson Alabama polo before he says "Roll Tide" and it cuts to him wearing none other than the Big Al mascot suit (which also has a camera inside).
Harris then goes to the couple"s section in AT&T Stadium during the game to give them hugs and appear on the jumbotron with them during the kiss cam segment.
The host also revealed he actually attended the couple"s wedding in Tuscaloosa. He even photobombed several of their wedding photos and ate some of their wedding cake.
"Best Time Ever" airs on NBC on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. central time. Watch the segment below:
