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:

• Trailer for 4.09:
  
• Cobie Smulders on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson:
  
• Alyson Hannigan walks, carries drinks. There are also HQ versions of the rest of the Lint Roller Party photos available here.
• Jason Segel’s upcoming movie, I Love You, Man has had its release moved from January 16 to March 20.
• The 2008 World Magic Awards, which Neil Patrick Harris hosted a while back, will air this Wednesday on MyNetworkTV. The LA Stage Blog posted a photo of Neil at the recent Ovation Awards.
• Bob Saget’s new sitcom may never see the light of day now that Media Rights Capital has lost control over the CW’s Sunday night lineup.
• Photos of one of Those People on set, including one shot with Jason Segel and his attractive new haircut.
• Variety’s 2008 Comedy Impact Report includes a profile on Jason Segel and one on Carter Bays and Craig Thomas.
• Fun with numbers: Based on data from tvbythenumbers.com, last week HIMYM was the third most-watched half-hour comedy on network TV (behind Two and a Half Men and Worst Week). 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.

• 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.

• Footage of NPH getting dunked on Ellen last week has finally surfaced!
  
• Variety’s Q&A with Carter Bays and Craig Thomas has been posted. Between that and Cleveland Magazine’s interview with Carter Bays, there’s a lot of talk about how much of the show is based in real life. [There's an extension of the Cleveland interview here - to see the video, you'll have to be logged out of Facebook.]
• USA Today ran a story about the mystery surrounding the mother, with some input from Josh Radnor and Craig Thomas.
• Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette answered a question about Marshall’s wardrobe.
• NPH-Fan.com has photos of Neil at the premiere of Criss Angel’s Believe last weekend.
• The soundtrack to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is currently only five dollars on Amazon, but I hear that’s just for today.
• Audible is offering eight minutes of The Bro Code as its free listen for the week.
• And now there are petitions: Jason Segel, cut your hair.

A two-minute clip from tonight’s episode:

And BuddyTV interviews Josh Radnor and Sarah Chalke - once again, if you don’t already know what 405 is about, the spoilers are pretty big.

• 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.
• New photo of Neil.
• You have until Saturday to apply to join the Evil League of Evil. MTV.com has an article on the process.
• On October 24, Neil Patrick Harris will participate in the unveiling of Harry Houdini’s renovated star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
• 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.]

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:

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!]

• 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]
• Neil might be the narrator for Disney World’s Candlelight Processional for a few shows in early December.
• The A.V. Club interviewed Neil.
