“The Naked Man” Preview

Hey everyone. Thanks for the nice birthday wishes. I had a fun weekend. While I’m sure it’s not Popover Pantry, if you’re ever in NYC you should check out August for brunch. It’s legendary. Anyway, here’s some new stuff:

Tomorrow night’s episode, The Naked Man, I’m pleased to say I know nothing about (the best way to go into an episode, if you ask me.) I did get an interesting email over the weekend though. It was from one Carl Maclaren with some info on the episode. Does that name sound familiar? Because it should. He was the assistant to Bays and Thomas and also the namesake for both Carl the bartender and MacLaren’s bar. He’s now the associate producer of web content for the show. Apparently in tomorrow night’s episode Lily writes down the 50 reasons people have sex on a MacLaren’s napkin. Carl was kind enough to forward me a scan of said napkin:

This is fantastic. I love the callbacks: “‘Damn your calves look good in those cargo shorts’ sex.” The whole list is great. I wonder what role this will play in the episode tomorrow night. Will someone be caught in the act? As I write this I remember a spoiler I read months ago that alluded to what the plot might entail. I’ll keep quiet but if it’s what I remember, it’ll be awesome.

Can we talk for a minute about how progressive it is for How I Met Your Mother to have an associate producer of web content at all? It’s clear they’ve always been dedicated to supplemental online content, but that can be said for a lot of shows. What makes this content so great with HIMYM is that it isn’t done by the PR department at the TV studio, it’s controlled and managed by the same people who work on the show. That’s why the online content is so amazing and doesn’t just feel like ads or some lame ARG for the show. So hats off to the show for taking such a forward-looking interest in new media and congratulations to Carl on his promotion and new job helming the online face of the show.

Oh, in case you’re into this kind of thing, there’s an auction to visit the set of HIMYM, meet the cast, and receive a signed copy of a script. Thanks to Alyssa for this info. It’s still quite cheap considering so go bid! Also, if the winner of the auction reads this, please contact me as I’d love to talk to you about documenting your experience for later publication here on the site.

That’s all folks. I’ll be back tomorrow night with the recap for The Naked Man.

    These comments are really funny.

    I'm sure we could probably come up with a user list as well. My favourite excuse (although it works more with a girl I was not proud of) was: I wanted to go home and it was the easiest way to do it.

    Nobody likes conversation

  14.  JustinDickinson | November 25, 2008 @ 12:10 pm

    Sorry! I knew you sent the actual link but I had to give Alyssa credit as she'd told me about this awhile ago and I'd never gotten around to posting it. My bad.
