Neil Patrick Harris Makes Awkward Joke about Bob Chapek at Candlelight Processional

Neil Patrick Harris Makes a Joke about Bob Chapek at Candlelight Processional

Neil Patrick Harris returned to EPCOT for the Candlelight Processional once again to serve as narrator for the signature Holiday event. Harris is no stranger to Disney parks, having hosted the event several times before.

In his opening speech, Harris joked about former CEO Bob Chapek, who was recently ousted and replaced by Bob Iger. Neil Patrick Harris said, “Welcome to tonight’s performance of the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT. EPCOT, an acronym, and I’m pretty sure the C doesn’t stand for Chapek,” Harris joked.
