All of these videos are on Hulu, so if you’re outside the United States you’ll need a program like Hotspot Shield to view them.

[REMINDER: The Golden Globes are tonight - it's Neil vs. HBO for Best Supporting Actor.]

Remember, Neil Patrick Harris is hosting Saturday Night Live tonight.

• CBS has posted a video of the Benefits guest stars talking about…well, they’re mostly just talking about themselves. Some episode clips, but nothing that wasn’t in the Watch With Kristin set of videos.
• How Josh Radnor spent his winter vacation: At Ben Lee’s wedding in India.
• Alyson Hannigan in the January issue of American Airlines inflight magazine.
• Behind the scenes at the TV Guide cover shoot.
• Neil on Anytime with Bob Kushell:
  
• MTV’s been interviewing Neil (and musical guest Taylor Swift) at SNL all week - you can read their coverage and see videos here, here, and here, where he talks about the Golden Globes.
• Jason was a presenter at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Thursday night.

“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star Jason Segel tried to play it cool. “Brad Pitt and Angelina showed up, and you think you don’t care,” he told MTV News. “But you totally care! You get a tingle.”

You can watch the whole show here.

While you’re waiting for your dinner, I recommend decorating your place with paper hands and/or turkeys, watching Belly Full of Turkey and Slapsgiving, and drinking Barney’s Thanksgiving cocktail, the Thankstini.

(Dinner, of course, should include the Eriksen seven-layer salad.)

Here’s NPH on Tuesday’s Late Late Show:

NPH will be on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tomorrow night.

Listings might say it’s Tony Curtis and Megalyn Echikunwoke, but they’ve been moved to Thursday and tomorrow night will be Neil and Betty White.

• 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.
• Neil talks about playing Barney in what may or may not be a new interview.
• Jason Segel has been announced as one of the voice actors in the 2010 release Despicable Me.
• Pam Fryman is directing the pilot for a potential new CBS comedy called The Karenskys.
• Auction: Win a set visit and a signed photo of the cast! Auction ends on November 23.
• 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.
• Analysis: da_phoenix13 on LiveJournal looks at the significance of games in How I Met Your Mother.

The Alyson Hannigan portion of the update got out of hand lengthwise and will be posted separately.

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.

As commenter JB pointed out in the post-ep for Intervention, Claudia was indeed played by Virginia Williams, the same actress who played her in S1. I got my information from the CBS press release for the episode, which says Claudia is played by Michelle Gunn, but the end credits say it was Virginia Williams. (Michelle Gunn actually played Mrs. Abergast - the mother of Lily’s student who got Ted’s letter by mistake.)

And to make this post worth your while, the Elliot in the Morning website has uploaded an MP3 of Jason Segel’s call to the show this morning.

I know there’s been some debate about how the scheduling would work out for November sweeps - October 27 will be a rerun of Sandcastles in the Sand, meaning that Happily Ever After (the last episode before the standalones kick in) will be the first episode aired during sweeps.

Also, Sarah Chalke was on the Early Show- no new information, but she does talk about the show:

And Letterman last night, where there is literally no mention of HIMYM until the last few seconds, but hey, why not:

A CBS promo focusing on Regis’ guest appearance tonight:

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

Spoilers for 405, of the “where are Ted and Stella headed” variety. Also, here’s a promo for 402 with very little in the way of new footage:
