Scheduling: December 1 will be a rerun of The Bracket, and a new episode, The Fight, will air on December 8. [If you don't read big spoilers, the network-issued description of the episode is here.] I would guess that since Benefits is reportedly airing in January, Little Minnesota will be moved ahead of it to air on December 15, but we won’t know for another week or so.
Josh Radnor recently appeared in the November 17 issue of People Magazine:
Video of Josh at Don’t Quit Your Night Job (thanks Ingrid!):
You can read a firsthand account of the event here.
Cobie Smulders will appear on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on November 21 (that’s this Friday night - thanks Shermie!). She’s also up for a Gemini Award for Hottest Canadian Female TV Star. You can vote here. Cobie was also interviewed by Lara Spencer of The Insider:
Neil Patrick Harris is one of Entertainment Weekly’s 25 Entertainers of the Year. There’s a video interview here, and you can see scans of the article here.
Neil also hosted the Los Angeles Ovation Awards on Monday, and the Artios Awards a week before that.
Those People talk about their experience on the show here, here, and here. They’re talking about filming, so obviously, there are going to be some spoilers for 411.
Neil Patrick Harris will provide the voice of the villain in the upcoming game Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. (Matt Hazard will be voiced by Will Arnett.) You can see him talk about his character here (it’s the fourteenth segment on the timeline), and he was in this promo for Game Trailers TV.
TV Guide got a quote from Carter Bays about Alyson’s pregnancy.
According to Just Jared, Josh Radnor is in the October issue of the LA Times magazine - it’s unclear whether it’s just that one quote or if there’s a full interview. Anyone got a copy handy?
Television Without Pity interviewed Craig Thomas. It’s a great interview, lots of information - if you’re concerned about spoilers, I would say it’s safe. He does talk about upcoming episodes, but it’s all very general, and the most specific he gets is saying who Jason Jones will play.
CBS is testing out an interactive video site - basically, while watching full episodes online, you can comment on them with others who are watching, compete in trivia contests, and throw tomatos at (or blow kisses to) the characters onscreen. Currently the only episode available (for all of CBS, not just How I Met Your Mother) is The Best Burger in New York.
BuddyTV has put up the next video from their set visit a few weeks ago - this one’s a Jason Segel interview.
[Spoilers: Jason doesn't say anything spoilery, but while he's answering the Alyson Hannigan and Sarah Chalke questions, they show some video of Sarah, Jason, and Alyson shooting scenes for an upcoming episode.]
Although Twentieth Century Fox will continue to make syndication deals over the next few months, the major markets are taken care of. [Variety]
If you’ll be home Friday morning, prepare yourself for a lot of TV watching - Neil’s going to be on Ellen, and Alyson’s on Bonnie Hunt’s new talk show.
There’s a new trailer out for the upcoming game Saints Row 2 - it showcases the game’s celebrity voice actors, including Neil Patrick Harris. [Kotaku]
For everyone outside the United States who couldn’t see the recap videos: You can see the full S3 recap here. I’ll have to upload the cliffhangers video elsewhere because YouTube’s blocking it, but that’s coming to.
Photos are after the jump - seven full-sized promo shots from World’s Greatest Burger, and 21 photos (five large, sixteen small) from yesterday’s Creative Arts Emmys. Continue reading →
2. Neil will be appearing on the September 5 Stand Up To Cancer telethon [airing simultaneously on CBS, NBC, and ABC], possibly as one of the stars answering calls from viewers.
3. Neil will appear on Letterman this Wednesday, August 27.
I take great comfort in the fact that all of my favorite shows in the past never got nominated and I’ll continue to do so until we do get nominated. At which point I’ll disavow any statement like that and say that the Emmy Voters always get it right
11. Neil and Josh were at the Hot in Hollywood benefit [NPHarriving, I haven't seen any Josh photos] and performed a raunchy version of “Puff, the Magic Dragon” ["Ruby, the Magic Unicorn"], guided by suggestions from the audience.
Josh and Neil are scheduled to perform at this year’s Hot In Hollywood AIDS benefit on August 16 - you can get a feel for the event and, if you’ll be in LA, ticket information, here.
Neil’s episode of Sesame Street will air on August 12, according to UPI. In addition to the already-posted clip from the episode, he can be seen headbanging with Elmo in this celebrity promo for the new season.
Gloria Calderon Kellett has created a web series called Get Ripped.
Hallmark has signed a deal that will allow it to make greeting cards featuring certain Fox properties, including HIMYM. I’m not positive that the new line of cards will include HIMYM designs, but they have the option now, so we could be seeing some in the next month or so.
All three parts of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog are now online at drhorrible.com. Watch them as soon as possible, because the free viewings will be discontinued tomorrow. [You can still buy the whole thing on iTunes for $3.99.]
One more Comic Con appearance: Dark Horse comics (Booth 2615) put the Dr. Horrible gang on their list of signings. I’m not clear on the details, but it’s 3-4:30PM Friday, and you’ll need to talk to a Dark Horse employee (Booth 2615) about getting a ticket.
Interview with NPH:Alan Sepinwall talked to Neil about the project. If you haven’t seen Act III yet, you’ll want to scroll past the review at the beginning, which contains MAJOR spoilers, to get to the Q&A below.
