Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are joining American Horror Story

Right after it was announced that NBC made the wise decision to give Neil Patrick Harris his own variety show, we get confirmation of a rumor we heard way back in July: NPH is heading to American Horror Story: Freakshow, and he’s bringing his husband David Burtka with him. The two of them, besides being adorable, have worked together before (Burtka played Lily’s high school boyfriend Scooter on How I Met Your Mother).

TV Line reports:

Harris will appear in Freak Show‘s 11th and 12th episodes as a chameleon salesman, while Burtka will turn up in the season finale (Episode 13) in what I’m told is a sexy storyline with Jessica Lange’s batty chanteuse.

NPH showed his dark, creepy side in Gone Girl, and he did a damn good job, so it’s safe to say that I’m really looking forward to this.
