Season 2 of Hulu’s How I Met Your Father has continued to maintain followers on the sting of their seats as we wait to see who Hilary Duff’s character finally ends up with, and proceed to be stunned by enjoyable How I Met Your Mom cameos. The newest HIMYM cameo introduced Alexis Denisof again because the information reporter Sandy Rivers, regardless of the place he was once we final noticed him on the CBS sitcom. Fortunately, a HIMYF co-creator is clearing the air, and explaining why this reporter’s return doesn’t retcon his unique story.
Sandy Rivers had a tumultuous arc on How I Met Your Mom, beginning out as Robin’s co-anchor within the first season, after which returning in Seasons 6 and 9. The reporter, who was identified to be sleazy and inappropriate at work, was exiled from his American profession because of his office misconduct, and he was compelled to discover a job elsewhere, in Russia. Nevertheless, when he left was by no means talked about. So, it is smart that they’d proceed to point out the decline of his profession in HIMYF.
Now, with Alexis Denisof reprising his position as Sandy Rivers on HIMYF, he revealed that he’s been demoted to the leisure beat at WWN due to some “unproven accusations.” EP Isaac Aptaker then clarified the reporter’s job with TVLine explaining how the anchor’s story is smart for each exhibits:
He’s [still] on his means down. The unique present was forward of its time ‘canceling’ Sandy.
Because it was by no means specified when Sandy went to Russia, it gave HIMYF an opportunity to convey him on and even proceed his inevitable downfall. As for whether or not or not he’ll proceed to pop up on How I Met Your Father so we will see his declining profession, co-creator Elizabeth Berger stated that it “in all probability will” occur if the chance presents itself. Since Denisof doesn’t have any present or upcoming initiatives, it appears doubtless that we’ll see Sandy Rivers once more in some unspecified time in the future.
Alexis Denisof isn’t the primary HIMYM cameo on this Hulu spin-off, and he doubtless gained’t be the final. The season premiere noticed the shock return of Neil Patrick Harris’ Barney Stinson, who beforehand shared his hopes for the reboot, and needed to see it stick. Josh Radnor and Hilary Duff have additionally each opened up in regards to the exchanges they shared about How I Met Your Father, and the potential for Radnor reprising his position of Ted Mosby. It has been a blast to see all these cameos, and with since Denisof and lots of different OGs have already come again, I would assume we’ll be seeing extra How I Met Your Mom cameos all through the remaining season.
How I Met Your Father obtained a supersized episode order for its second season, that means there are extra probabilities for acquainted faces to return, on condition that the storyline is smart. Whether or not it’s a full-fledged cameo, like NPH and Alexis Denisof, or alongside the strains of renting an house that followers acknowledge all too effectively, I can not wait to see how the world of How I Met Your Mom intertwines with HIMYF.
