The How I Met Your Mother Blog

Congratulations to Cobie Smulders for making it onto AskMen.com’s Top 99 Women of 2009 List.

She deserves it too. She’s beautiful, hilarious, and her personality and humor has really shaped what the show has become. Plus, she’s Canadian. Bonus?

So go over to AskMen.com and vote up Cobie. Show your support!

What?!?!?

We learned a little while back that Alyson Hannigan was pregnant. Now we get news that Cobie Smulders is expecting as well and is due sometime in the spring. The father of her baby? It’s Blauman, one of Barney’s douchy co-workers. Steak Sauce! Editor’s note: the character Blauman is douchy, the actor who portrays him is surely a kind, thoughtful young man and will treat Cobie and their child with respect and dignity.

From the picture People magazine used, Cobie is already starting to gain some weight (which isn’t surprising considering how thin she’s been.) What will this mean for the show? Writing in a story about Lily getting pregnant would be easy, if not that popular. But Robin? She’s Baron von Hatesbabies, how on earth are they going to handle this?

Congratulations, though, to Cobie and Taran on the pregnancy!

Update: Bays and Thomas comment on the pregnancies.

Neil Patrick Harris:

Josh Radnor:

Alyson Hannigan:

Cobie Smulders:

Carter Bays and Pam Fryman:

Read more about that night, from TV Guide’s point of view and see all their How I Met Your Mother coverage.

The invitation came without solicitation. Well, that’s not entirely true. I had added Carter Bays and Charlene Amoia as friends on Facebook and, to my surprise, they not only confirmed but Charlene sent me a nice note thanking me for the site. I wrote her back and in a fit of confidence offered to buy her a beer the next time she was in New York. Proving how legendary she really is she did me one better: “How would you like to attend a party in New York tomorrow with Carter Bays, Pam Fryman, and the cast?” I would like that very much I told her.
