Neil Patrick Harris Debuts in 'American Horror Story' Promo (VIDEO)

After openly campaigning for a role on the show, Neil Patrick Harris will finally get his moment in the spotlight on American Horror Story!

In this preview for the winter premiere of American Horror Story: Freak Show, Harris dons his finest suit and top hat to hit the stage as a magician or emcee of sorts. Perhaps it'll serve as preparation for his gig as Oscar host in early 2015, not that he's any stranger to hosting award shows. But all-in-all, it looks like he's the least freaky of all the weirdos in the freak show. (And here, we were hoping he'd go full Hedwig)

It wouldn't be all that surprising if Harris turns this into a yearly gig, making a cameo in each subsequent season, provided his appearance here proves to be a popular one. As for now, we just have a promo to go off of. So watch the full video below and let us know what you think of Neil Patrick Harris becoming a semi-regular on American Horror Story below:
