Neil Patrick Harris (who reportedly just purchased a house in East Hampton) visited Sagaponack’s Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show last Wednesday. Among other topics, the actor discussed his love of magic and In & Of Itself, an off-Broadway show he’s producing. In & Of Itself, starring illusionist Derek DelGaudio, explores identity and magic. It opens April 12 at the Daryl Roth Theatre in New York. Fallon recently donated $100,000 to Saugerties High School in upstate New York. The Tonight Show host is a 1992 graduate of the school, whose arts program will benefit from the gift.
