Barney’s Brother From Another Mother

Variety reports that in an upcoming episode we’ll get to meet Barney’s brother. The kicker is that his brother will be played by Wayne Brady!

From the article:

“I feel like the less we say about it, the funnier it will be,” said “Mother” exec producer and co-creator Carter Bays. “We wanted to present a different kind of family. (And) we like that ‘What the hell?’ factor.”

While this is pretty big news, and I can’t wait to see how they tie it in, the article reveals something else I wasn’t aware of. Ted’s Boss, Druthers (played by Bryan Cranson), is slated for further apperances. I think I’m more excited about this because one of the things that makes HIMYM so great is the emotional attachment that a viewer can develop for the characters. As you remember, in his last appearance he made quite the impression with me.

We’ll just have to wait and see how they make the connection between Barney and Wayne Brady.

Netscape anchors Ryan J Budke and Alexia J Prichard recently visited the set of HIMYM while they are filming the upcoming episode with Wayne Brady. The Netscape team did a great job of getting some interviews, and some behind the scenes coverage from the set. [...]

    [...] CBS has sent out a press release for next weeks episode, “Single Stamina.” This is finally the episode with guest star Wayne Brady that we’ve mentioned before. In the release CBS links to a video preview that I opened and started watching, and then realized I don’t really want to have any idea of what the episode is about. I’m one of those people that likes to no very little about an episode before watching it. I’ve found that often previews will show the best material, therefore there is no reason to watch the actual episode. I say all of this to say, no I haven’t watched the preview, but I did get it to play WITHOUT RealPlayer! The entire press release goes as follows: MEET BARNEY’S BROTHER: WAYNE BRADY!! [...]
