I caught up with Neil Patrick Harris during Emmy week and the
How I Met Your Mother star gave me some fun scoop on the Oct. 5 episode. “There’s a show coming up called Robin 101 where Barney seeks Professor Ted’s advice to learn more about Robin’s likes and dislikes to gain a deeper knowledge of her," says Neil. "Ted, of course, knows all about Robin because he was kind of obsessed with her, whereas Barney just likes to stick things in places.”
Did Doogie actually just say that? Oh no!!
Neil goes on to say that his character comes to learn what Robin’s facial expressions mean. “The flared nostril, glazed over eyes look means: run!”
And how does Neil fare when it comes to reading people in his personal life? He says his skills as a magician have made him an amateur Mentalist of sorts. “I’m pretty good at picking up on things.”
