Back again!
Neil kicks it off with what must be an inside joke about eating sushi for energy when performing. Sorry, I don't get the reference.
Jessica Lange is here to present Lead Actor in a Play. The winner: Geoffrey Rush, Exit the King. It's his first Tony - how about that! He waves his light from the Rock of Ages song and observes that he's just one light among thousands on Broadway. Very funny speech.
Another Best Play clip, this one for Dividing the Estate.
Bebe Neuwirth intros the Memorial segment for those who passed this year. Nice segment, with vocalists singing "What I Did for Love," but I hate the "Applaud for the ones I know" syndrome - the same things happen at the Oscars, and it seems rude to those who weren't as well know. Ah well.
Commercial!

People just can't believe that Jeremy Piven had to duck out of Speed the Plow due to mercury poisoning caused by eating too much sushi, as the actor claimed.

Jokes galore have ensued.
Neil Patrick Harris' sushi joke was a dig at Jeremy Piven, who dropped out of "Speed-the-Plow" this past season, claiming he suffered from mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi.
Of course! How could I forget that? When NPH made the joke they put up the image of an attractive young lady in the audience, and from her smile I had the thought that the joke was aimed at her.
Thanks to David and Anon for clearing that up for me. I'm so easily confused...
