Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris (or Best Time Ever) is an American live television variety series adaptation of the British variety series Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.

[2] The one-hour show was hosted and executive-produced by Neil Patrick Harris featuring Nicole Scherzinger as a co-host.

[3] The plan to bring the series to television was announced on October 27, 2014,[4] and was followed by a teaser promo during the 2015 Super Bowl.

After the intro finishes, the camera focuses on the guest announcer, who introduces themselves and usually gives a little information about themselves.

This segment has received many different names but typically revolved around a close friend or relative sending in personal information to the producers and participating in parodies of popular media.

With every correct answer in 60 seconds, the player chooses a number which corresponds with a variety of prizes.

In the eighth episode, due to a poor Skype connection, one viewer did not sing the song (which was I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys in particular).

The contestants are regular people who don't know that they get to take part in a 60 ft slide, covered in oil and water, to grab keys.
