VIDEO: Neil Patrick Harris Opens Candlelight Processional Narration With a Joke About Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek

Neil Patrick Harris is back to narrate the Candlelight Processional this year, and as a big fan of Disney Parks, he’s often a crowd favorite for his jokes and references. Tonight, he opened the narration with a joke about former Disney CEO Bob Chapek.

“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 quipped.

You can listen to the joke in the video clip below, captured by Twitter user @ropedroplife (Deanna Berry).

Chapek was recently ousted from the Chief Executive Officer position and replaced by the returning Bob Iger. To read more on the ongoing changes to the leadership at The Walt Disney Company, check out the stories below.
