David, Cooper, NPH among Tonys presenters


Neil Patrick Harris may not be hosting this year's Tony Awards, and Larry David -- whose play Fish in the Dark premiered on Broadway this year -- is not a nominee. But both stars are among the presenters scheduled to pop up at this year's ceremony.

The list, announced Thursday, also includes Bradley Cooper, a contender for leading actor in a play for his performance in last fall's revival of The Elephant Man; Bryan Cranston, last year's winner in that category; and Sting, a nominee for best original score for his musical The Last Ship.

As previously announced, the live broadcast will include performances by Broadway stars and nominees such as Kristin Chenoweth (who's co-hosting with Alan Cumming), Kelli O'Hara, Chita Rivera, Brian D'Arcy James and Christian Borle.

The Tony Awards will be broadcast live from New York's Radio City Music Hall on June 7, 8-11 PM (ET/PT time delay) on CBS.
