STILL NEIL'S TURN: I thought NPH showed some decent directing chops with last night's HIMYM, in particular drawing the least douchy performance we've seen in a good while out of Josh Radnor and pulling together some nice editing. Sure, it meant we had almost no Barney in the episode, but it's nice to see the show avoiding being overly dependent on the Barney character for laughs. (Though what was with Jason Segel's hair for most of the episode--looked like a bad hairpiece?)

But that's not the biggest NPH news of the day--not only is he in the final stages of negotiating a deal to guest on Glee (subject to CBS's approval), but the episode he'd appear in is the Joss Whedon-directed one (in a part written especially for him, and yes, there will be singing). Hear that over there? That was the sound of some heads exploding in the distance.
