ET visits HIMYM’s 100th episode

By Rach | Published Wed Jan-6-10 -

ET Online have put up a nice piece on Monday’s 100th episode, including a video clip which interviews Neil and the rest of the cast.

“Barney Stinson has shagged many a type of Betty … many different professions and varieties, but he has never shagged a hot bartender,” Neil tells ET. “He has to sleep with her. She, in turn, refuses to date guys who wear suits, from a past relationship. And, so, he takes it upon himself to have to choose between her or suits.”

The musical tribute is part of the celebration of the 100th episode of the CBS series, which also guest stars Rachel Bilson and Tim Gunn, playing himself.

Don’t forget that you can catch Neil on Jimmy Kimmel tonight at 12.05am/11.05pm central, and the People’s Choice awards air tonight on CBS from 9/8c. Neil, Alyson and the show are all nominated.

Entertainment Weekly have been talking to the cast prior to the 100th episode, which airs next Monday, January 11th, at 8/7c on CBS. Neil, Cobie, Josh, Jason and Alyson reveal their top 10 moments from the last four and a half years in this slideshow.

Neil is also honoured in TVSquad’s Best Comedic Actors of the 00s list.

The AfterElton poll is still going, and the names supporting Neil and John keep coming in. It’s now going crazy with a Twitter hashtag of #biggaybattle, and you can also use #votenph to show your support for Neil. But remember to keep it friendly – Neil himself weighed in earlier to try and keep things fun.

“Strange. Feels like this is turning adversarial. Know that I’m a fan of JB and if he wins this poll, I’ll happily stand right behind him…”
