";s:4:"text";s:2810:"EW has learned exclusively that exiting Saturday Night Live cast member Abby Elliott has scored an arc on the upcoming season of HIMYM, which kicks off Monday, September 24. How I Met Your Mother (often abbreviated to HIMYM) is an American sitcom that originally aired on CBSfrom September 19, 2005, to March 31, 2014. Abby Elliott is best known for her four seasons as a cast member on NBC's Saturday Night Live. Bad Crazy wasn't a big mythology episode, but it WAS a good showing of How I Met Your Mother humor at its best, with the gang just hanging out and ragging on … A fan theory about How I Met Your Mother's Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) suggests that he's really nowhere near as bad as the show made him out to be. Although it’s possible for the show to go wrong in episodes that are elaborately planned and executed, in the majority of cases, more is more on HIMYM. I’m not talking about slapdash excess; the low points of the show come when something is underthought, then overdone. We’re doing a sitcom. Christopher Nash Elliott (born May 31, 1960) is an American actor, comedian, and writer. He is best known for his comedic sketches on Late Night with David Letterman (1982–1988), creating and starring in the comedy series Get a Life (1990–1992) on Fox TV and writing and starring in the film Cabin Boy (1994). Craig Thomas says : "We're thrilled to have the hilarious Abby Elliot joining us in an arc as Janeane, the craziest girl the HIMYM gang has ever encountered. How I Met Your Mother is a work that benefits from overstuffing. I’m not particularly fond of the elaborate (and often CGI-enabled) fantasy sequences on the show, but clearly, the creators think of them as a signature trope. The series follows the main character, Ted Mosby, and his group of friends in Manhattan.As a framing device, Ted, in the year 2030, recounts to his son and daughter the events that led him to meeting their mother. Barney was one of the five core characters of the hit sitcom, and the most noticeably unrealistic. In a time before How I Met Your Mother, Abigail Spencer got her start on daytime soaps.
