Rachel Bloom, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star, was the backstage host at the Sunday night event. Neil Patrick Harris of How I Met Your Mother tweeted he wasn’t quite sure who she was, adding his 7-year-old son’s comments of her character.

Who is the woman in the top hat backstage at @TheTonyAwards? Gideon remarked that she says ‘like’ and ‘oh my god’ a lot. I’m confused…

Bloom tweeted back that she’s not only a fan of Harris but also her husband wrote for the show he starred on from 2005 to 2014. 

I’m a big fan of yours. We’ve met numerous times and my husband, Dan Gregor, wrote for “How I Met Your Mother” for 5 years. Notably, he wrote the episode where your character finally meets his father.

To which Harris sent another tweet, that has so far been unanswered by Bloom.

Indeed! Well said. Thanks for the reminder. How was backstage?
