After eight years and many teases the mother will FINALLY be revealed. And it will be none other than Once's Cristin Milioti. Great high-profile role for her. Go Cristin!


HIMYM: Cristin

I was literally about to post this!! Not many of my friends knew who she was even though I immediately recognized her! Should be a big role for her next year

So excited that it's Cristin! She's going to be great.

But so disappointed in this episode! Wasn't it supposed to be B&R's wedding? Lame.

I was BEYOND excited to see her. As many posters pointed out on IMDb, it is possible she's not the mother (she could be another memeber of the mother's band and is bringing her instrument and is borrowing her umbrella) as the creators are known to do stuff like that. But I hope she is- she matches the description (about Lily's size, as they share shoes, she's dark haired, could have clearly been in college in 2008, etc.) and she is a wonderful actress.

This is so exciting! They made a great casting choice. Thrilled for Cristin. Can't wait for next season!!

And I agree, I wanted more with the wedding, but alas.... we have to wait for the next season I guess.

I didn't recognize her but knew as soon as I saw the name. So excited!

Edit: According to the article in the OP, a CBS rep has confirmed it.

"What other 'big reveal' could this show have??"

They have been advertising the finale and I thought this thread was to discuss it. Not to have the secret revealed with no warning.


If I had wanted to know ahead of time, I would have asked my friend who works on the show.

To me, she'll always be the "very sexy baby" on 30 Rock.

I just about freaked out when they revealed it to be her. PERFECT casting and I'm so excited to see how it all plays out.

We already knew the Mother was a musician, but now that it's Cristin, does anyone else want them all to go back to MacLaren's and play some Irish and/or Czech ditties together? Just me? All right...

I hadn't notice before, but she kind of looks like a cross between Lily and Robin. Perfect for Ted!

I've never watched this show so can someone quickly (if you don't mind) explain what the big deal is here with "the mother"?

The whole first 8 season have been framed by a guy (narrated by Bob Saget and played on screen by Josh Radnor) telling his kids the story of how he met their mother. It's basically been 8 seasons of build up to this.

So she'll most likely be featured all through next season.

So, basically the final season takes the show's title to heart. I'm fine with this. As it's a show that has implemented time jumps, both forward and backward, and many random anecdotes, I don't see how the overall arc is a "nightmare." It's just a framing device for the season. I mean, this wedding was first introduced a few seasons back.

That's why it's a nightmare for fans. Barney and Robin's wedding has been the cliffhanger for, like, three seasons now. Just show it already!
