How I Met Your Mother - Season 2
How I Met Your Mother is an American sitcom that was created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays for CBS. The first season of How I Met Your Mother aired on September 19, 2005 and follows main character Ted Mosby and his group of friends. In 2030, Ted recounts to his son and daughter the events that occurred from 2005 to 2013 that led him to meet their mother. How I Met Your Mother ended in 2014 with a total of 208 episodes, and starred Smulders, Josh Radnor, Bob Saget, Alyson Hannigan, Jason Segel, and Neil Patrick Harris.
"How I Met Your Father" is back, and no, we still don't know who the father is. But the season two premiere, which Hulu released on Jan. 24, promised something even bigger: a major cameo from a member of the original "How I Met Your Mother" cast. It's not surprising, since the season one finale featured Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatsky giving advice to Sophie (Hilary Duff) about her relationship with Jesse (Christopher Lowell). But in the season two premiere, viewers get a look at the original's most legendary cast member: Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson. Barney returns for a good chunk of episode 11, the midseason finale, and he and Sophie have an emotional heart-to-heart about something they share in their pasts. Barney, like Robin, ultimately inspires Sophie to take a major step forward in her life, though we don't know how it'll turn out just yet.
The rest of the first half of "HIMYF" season two involves some other major cameos, including pop star Meghan Trainor as Sophie's neighbor, actor Mark Consuelos as Valentina's (Francia Raisa) father, and "Sex and the City" star John Corbett as a chef who dates Sophie for a few episodes. There's also a cameo from a minor "HIMYM" star who die-hard fans will definitely remember. Ahead, we're breaking down Harris's return to the series, plus all the other cameos that have happened so far.

Sophie also only recently broke up with Drew (Josh Peck). When the gang find out Sid (Suraj Sharma) and Hannah (Ashley Reyes) eloped, they throw them an impromptu reception at the bar, where all three of Sophie's love interests cause drama and she loses all of them \u2014 seemingly for good.\n\"I blew it with three guys in 48 hours, and now I'm doing the Electric Slide,\" Sophie tells Valentina. \"I think this is my rock bottom.\" But then the show cuts to older Sophie, played by Kim Cattrall. \"I was wrong,\" she tells her son. \"Rock bottom wouldn't come until later that year.\"\nThe show cuts to younger Sophie in her car on the phone; it's raining. \"Mom, please call me back,\" she says. \"I think I'm dating my dad.\" Fans will remember that Sophie's mom is a free spirit, and she never knew her dad. She hangs up, only to crash into another car.\nShe gets out to survey the damage, and the driver of the other car gets out. It's none other than Barney Stinson. \"Dude!\" he says, and the bumper of his car falls off. \nWe cut back to the future. \"Wait,\" Sophie's son, off-camera, says. \"Who's that?\"\n\"We'll get there soon enough,\" she teases.\nFans finally learn the context of this scene in episode 11, the midseason finale. Sophie rear-ends Barney, who, we learn, is trying to reform from his previous womanizing ways. He assumes Sophie is a woman he's wronged who's out for revenge. She tells him he isn't and previews the drama she's found herself in \u2014 worrying that her boyfriend, Robert (John Corbett), is her dad. Barney tells her that if the story is interesting enough, he won't make her pay for the car's damage.\nThe story is interesting enough, but more importantly Barney and Sophie bond over the fact that they grew up without fathers. Barney tells Sophie about connecting with his dad as an adult (played by John Lithgow in \"How I Met Your Mother\") and how it brings him so much joy to see his dad play with Barney's daughter now. The conversation helps Sophie decide that she does want to seek out her dad after all.\n","id":49074894,"type":"image","photo_source":"Image Source: Hulu","permalink":"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/entertainment\/photo-gallery\/49069051\/image\/49074894\/Neil-Patrick-Harris-as-Barney-Stinson-in-How-I-Met-Your-Father-Season-2","canonical":"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/entertainment\/himyf-season-2-cameos-49069051","share_text":"Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson in \"How I Met Your Father\" Season 2","use_tall_image":false,"omit_from_countdown":false,"caption_num":false,"slide_tags":"TVStreamingHuluHow I Met Your Father","image":"https:\/\/media1.popsugar-assets.com\/files\/thumbor\/H5Awljl69ChiKwZmv5deQMAp4ls\/fit-in\/1024x1024\/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-\/2023\/01\/31\/665\/n\/1922283\/9b094a5e95d3ee8b_himyf_prod203air202_pw_00701rt\/i\/Meghan-Trainor-as-Shayla-in-How-I-Met-Your-Father-Season-2.jpg","share_image":"https:\/\/media1.popsugar-assets.com\/files\/thumbor\/XdtxgLxH33SbUVL5f364EagglIo\/fit-in\/2048xorig\/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-\/2023\/01\/31\/665\/n\/1922283\/9b094a5e95d3ee8b_himyf_prod203air202_pw_00701rt\/i\/Meghan-Trainor-as-Shayla-in-How-I-Met-Your-Father-Season-2.jpg","title":"Meghan Trainor as Shayla in \"How I Met Your Father\" Season 2","intro_text":false,"body":"Episode two of \"How I Met Your Father\" sees Sophie facing a new problem: she's a major liar.
