Countdown to HIMYM 1: The Many Faces of Charlene Amoia
By JD
We all know and love her as Wendy the Waitress but as several readers pointed out, Charlene Amoia pops up in a lot of commercials and guest appearances on other shows. Here is a random smattering going from most recognizable to least-in-English. Enjoy. The pictures at the bottom are just for you as well.
Speed Reel

Here is a reel from Amoia’s agency. It has clips from My Boys, The Young and the Restless, How I Met Your Mother, and Joey. Also, her information is at the end in case anyone is looking to cast her in something.

This is the first time I noticed her outside of HIMYM. I love the old guy in this spot.
My Boys

Here’s the extended clip from My Boys where Charlene gets hit on by Mario and Luigi’s younger brother Esteban.
Joey

Charlene is in Joey’s book club. Extended clip from the speed reel.

This is a surprisingly sexy commercial for the golden arches. Check out how she purrs “I like it cold”. Who could argue with that?

OK, this is a stretch but she looks cute and is smart about managing her money!
Meetic Commercial

I have no idea what Meetic even is. Is it a product? A show? A movie? It seems like it might be French. Keep watching past the initial part, it kicks over into English and gets very, very funny. It also has the song “Too Drunk to F***” by Nouvelle Vague (listen here).

Looking cute yet again. This guy is worse than Barney. Goldters? Cabana in Maui? Is this what happens to hot girls whilst they do their laundry?
There’s a few more videos with Amoia that aren’t as entertaining.
For you RSS’ers, this post is chuck-a-block full of YouTube videos so do click through to view them all.

so I’m hearing Sarah Chalke is Alicia Silverstone’s replacement, as Alicia’s rep doesn’t want her to do a show with Britney Spears anymore.
NO.

Oh John, did I ever. I’ve been itching to post about it. Alas, it’ll have to be this evening.

Really? I love Dexter, but I don’t remember seeing her… I’ll have to go back and watch the ep again.
I just got so curious I had to google what Meetric was. My suspicions were confirmed: it’s some sort of international dating site. I guess those videos are commercials? They kind of felt like clips from a Sex and the City wannabe type show.

Thanks Jess, I was far too lazy to actually look it up myself. A dating site? Hmm, I’ll have to check it out. Those ads did have a certain Sex and the City feel to them.

I saw her in a car commercial the other day, or something.

Anyone know who that blonde is in the Meetic commerical, she is gorgeous as well. I love Charlene’s character in “How I Met Your Mother”.

Just for information: Meetic is a dating website. It was founded in France and, if i’m right, is currently the leading website on the European market.
I hadn’t noticed Charlene Amoia was acting on this commercial, we can see it a lot on French TV…

I’m trying to find that episode of Sex and the City when Charlotte is going out with the guy she thinks is gay. He’s a baker and is terrified of the mouse in the kitchen? Anyone know? I’m searching for the name of the episdoe.
