Sarah Chalke

Ausiello seems to think that Sarah Chalke is returning for several episodes next season. I’d like to see it. She’s pretty!

Via DVD review:

On 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment’s release of ‘How I Met Your Mother: Season 2′ the studio has also included a hidden feature for you to discover.
Insert the first disc of the DVD set and from the Main Menu go to the ‘Special Features’ section. Now highlight the ‘On’ menu entry for the first Commentary Track and then press the ‘Left’ arrow key on your remote control. Now press the ‘Up’ arrow key and an icon will be highlighted on the screen. Now press the ‘Enter’ key and you will get to see a sketch of one of Hammond Druthers’ designs in the show.

I haven’t confirmed this yet, but it sounds awesome. Anyone have the DVD? Can you confirm?    Update: Reader RFRY (of milesdavisforpresident.net) sent in a screen shot. It’s the new hero image above. Pretty legendary.

“You’ve got to get me into that building. And don’t give me the shaft.”
“Yeah you did.”
“Had to.”

I’m a sucker for a good blooper reel. Who isn’t? There’s something riveting about seeing actors flub lines and ham it up for the camera. If it’s a montage? Sold. I still think of the season one DVD every time I hear “Hide Another Mistake” by HIMYM’s favorite band The 88 who were found guilty on three accounts…of rocking.

Check out the season two blooper reel on the How I Met Your Mother MySpace page.
