The How I Met Your Mother Blog

Over on ew.com they’ve got a photo essay chronically some popular film and TV stars decked out in their favorite t-shirts. Three HIMYM cast members popped up in the collection:

Alyson Hannigan

From ew.com: The late John Ritter gave this tee to Hannigan after his guest spot on Buffy in 1997. “He was such an incredible guy anyway, even if he didn’t give me a rubber ducky T-shirt,” she says. “Every time I see it I have such love in my heart for John. And I miss him.”

This isn’t nearly as cool as Hannigan’s shirt in World’s Greatest Couple, with the fairy tale cat illustration. She looks cute though and it’s a touching story.

Jason Segel

From ew.com: The How I Met Your Mother star is basically using us to plug his new favorite band, Instant Sorrow. “They’re a British band, a little bit like Oasis, or early U2,” says Segel, who says he rarely buys rock tees. “I want these guys to become a smash sensation.”

I haven’t heard Instant Sorrow’s music but if it’s good enough for Segel, it’s worth checking out. I find it amusing that Jason is such an indie music fan. Very similar to his character on Freaks and Geeks. Doesn’t it seem like the shirt says “Infant Sorrow” though? That’s both a William Blake poem and a way cooler name, maybe ew.com misquoted him?

Neil Patrick Harris

From ew.com: The How I Met Your Mother star stole this from a shoot years ago after noticing it said Clovis, New Mexico — the town where his mom was raised. He likes the ringer style, but “to be honest, my favorite is the cutoff, sleeveless tee. For breathing room.”

If Neil can’t breath in a t-shirt, he must be dying in those suits every week. I’m not usually a fan of a sleeveless look but I think NPH is dapper enough to pull it off.
