Well, you skip one week and all of a sudden you realize you haven’t done a news roundup in a month. Here goes:

• The previously-announced Lifetime syndication run starts on January 5, according to these five ads.
• Neil Patrick Harris is hosting Saturday Night Live on January 10.
• The cast is on the cover of TV Guide this week and got a six-page photo spread in this week’s Entertainment Weekly (scans later today).
• Minor spoilers: Us Weekly has photos of Jason with some of the guest stars from Benefits.
• The show: Cracked the top 20 in viewers last week, was the ninth most-pirated show last week, and, this season, has seen the second-largest gain in viewers 18-49 on network TV.
• Jason Segel: The trailer for I Love You, Man premiered (and the movie’s world premiere will kick off the SXSW Film Festival in March), he maybe hooked up with Drew Barrymore, and he got a fansite.
• Cobie Smulders: The Slammin’ Salmon will premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival, and hopefully someday we’ll get to see it in theaters. In the meantime, everything we have on it is right here.
• Alyson Hannigan: Adorably went shopping with Tom Lenk, nominated for Wired’s Sexiest Geeks of 2008.
• Neil Patrick Harris: Prop 8: The Musical, Please Don’t Bomb Nobody This Holiday, reacted to his Golden Globes nomination, and presented at the VGAs (and did some interviews). As always, NeilPatrickHarris-Fan is way better than I am at keeping up with this guy.

It had the second-best 18-49 numbers (behind Men, and tied with The Office) and the second-best 18-34 numbers (behind The Office, tied with 30 Rock).

Alyson and her husband, Alexis Denisof, went to the 15th Annual Lint Roller Party last week.

Video interviews:


E! Online has an article to go with their video. Us Weekly and Star Magazine also talked to the couple.

Photos are after the jump.

You guys, I will be so glad when Monday’s episode airs and I can stop treating every scrap of information about the episode like it’s a major spoiler. But since it hasn’t aired yet: Two batches of links! The first batch contains no Shelter Island spoilers.

• Jamie-Lynn Sigler has signed on to play Jillian in 4.08. Spoiler level: Nothing new for those of you who read yesterday’s post, nothing major for those of you who didn’t. He just does the whole “Sigler will play Jillian, who is…” thing, and it’s a) not entirely correct, so far as I know, and b) not very spoilery at all.
  
• Greg Malins is making a pilot for ABC.
• Jason Segel will be on Live with Regis and Kelly on October 27. [Thanks to Shermie for the tip.]
• Sarah Chalke will be on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on October 22.
• A self-employed prestidigitator [look it up] named Neil Harris contributed to No on 8. [Proposition 8 would undo California's legalization of gay marriage.]
• Auction! A TiVo HD, signed by Neil Patrick Harris [and some other celebrities from Stand Up To Cancer, which is what the auction is for]. It comes with a year’s subscription to TiVo.
• Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof get stalked by paparazzi in Santa Monica.
• TV Week interviewed the co-chairs of Twentieth Century Fox [the studio that produces HIMYM] - mostly industry stuff, with a few mentions of the show and how the studio feels about it.

And everything in the second batch contains some degree of spoiler for the episode:

• Watch With Kristin analyzes the various relationships on the show. Quotes from the cast and some spoilers for 4.05, 4.07 and 4.08, but none of them are new.
• Zap2It was on set when they filmed 4.05. So was IGN! Both have a lot of quotes from Josh and Sarah, as well as some new information.
• Also on set: The LA Times, who did a piece on Pam Fryman. Quotes from some of the cast, some minor new information about the episode.

This aired a few weeks ago, but TV Guide just put it on YouTube. No spoilers (this was filmed two months ago), and they basically threw every single behind-the-scenes clip they could find into this, going back to Season Two, but there are some great interviews with the cast, as well as Carter Bays, Craig Thomas, and Pam Fryman. Most notably, in the first video, Alyson Hannigan endorses The Hair.

And Josh Radnor kicks ass at HIMYM trivia, only to be stumped by the lyrics to Let’s Go to the Mall:

A CBS promo focusing on Regis’ guest appearance tonight:

And Alyson’s recent appearance on The Bonnie Hunt Show:

Going rapid-fire with this, because six posts in a day is ridiculous enough as it is:

• More syndication talk for those who find it interesting, more analysis than new information.
• BuddyTV visited the set.
• Bid on a walk-on role on the show, along with the chance to meet the cast and get some signed goodies.
• SheKnows interviews Neil Patrick Harris.
• Interview with Nicholas Stoller that clarifies the relationship [or lack thereof] between Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Five Year Engagement, and Get Him to the Greek, plus a Muppet mention.
• Great video of the cast at last week’s CBS premiere party. [Thanks to Meg!]
