Neil Patrick Harris has gotten a lot of criticism over his hosting gig for the 2015 Oscars and he took to Twitter for a joke in response to the naysayers.
According to Us Weekly, Harris went to Twitter on Monday night and wrote, “My iPhone shattered the morning of the Oscars. I probably should have read more into that. #harbinger.”

Many reviews of Harris’ performance focused on the fact that the Oscars may have just been a bigger target than Harris could have done himself. One review said that Harris “was just okay.”
Most of the critiques came from the jokes made during the show, including some ill-timed ones, including a joke about balls after Dana Perry’s acceptance speech about her son’s suicide.
In addition to the hosting issues, ratings for the show also fell 14 percent.
Despite the critiques Harris has faced, he was all smiles during an appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael when he told the hosts about that briefs moment when he came out in just his underwear. Questions have been raised about whether or not he stuffed himself with a sock.
E! News reported that Michael Strahan said, “I gotta ask him if he put some padding.”
When Harris came on, he told the hosts that because of the lights, they were able to see through his underwear while rehearsing, so they had to do some work on the underwear so they couldn’t “tell my religion,” Harris said. What they did to avoid Harris’ parts showing was to “take a second pair of underwear and sew it to the first.” The video below shows the part of the interview beginning at 18:03.
