The mother has a voice: Meg Ryan has been cast as the narrator for CBS’ How I Met Your Mother spin-off.
The actress has landed the unseen vocal role in the How I Met Your Dad pilot, which is considered an obvious front-runner for a series order for CBS’ schedule next season. She’ll supply the voice of “future Sally” (played during the series in flashback by Greta Gerwig), the same way Bob Saget supplied the voice for future Ted in HIMYM. Like Saget, her character will never be seen. CBS and studio 20th Century Fox TV had no comment.

Nice one!!! Meg's voice sounds good.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how did they get Meg Ryan?
ReplyDeleteEasy gig. Good paycheck.
ReplyDeleteAnd suddenly the title "When Harry met Sally" is somehow funnier.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, didn't see that one coming!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, she's so great :)
ReplyDeleteWhy? I will try it out. I read here and there some positive comments about the script and I mean I'll love HIMYM till death(except those last 3 minutes) so I feel that I need to try it.
ReplyDeleteBecause I don't trust them after that massive disaster they called a series finale. They ruined everything.
ReplyDeleteIt's been nearly a month and I still have moments where I can't believe it actually ended like that.
Yeah, I'm the same way. Maybe I'd check out the pilot out of curiosity, but I wouldn't watch the show every week, because I know these guys can screw up the ending very badly
ReplyDeleteThankfully it's not just them anymore who's helping the series with Emily Spivy and Gerwig herself are producers and writers so maybe it will be different
ReplyDeleteMight check the series out cause of this. love Meg Ryan's voice!!
ReplyDeleteAfter the extensive amount of plastic surgery she has done to her once pretty face I'm relieved she will have an "unseen vocal role" just in case I decide to watch the show.
ReplyDeleteMy Faith in HIMYM writers isn't exactly at it's peak.
I know right. There is times reruns come on tv and then I remember how it ends and I turn the channel because I don't want to re watch it any more including the good episodes in the early seasons.
ReplyDeleteYea me too, As spin off's good this is the worst set up for me. Just an Inverse and a tool to keep going when you don't need to.
ReplyDeleteHa very nice. But even though I loved the finale, not positive I'll watch this...may tune in for the pilot and see how it stacks up.
