I also saw the promo for Bob's 2 nights of specials during HIMYM.  Anybody placing their bets that the Special Guest on the 50th anniversary show will be his named successor?

Better than that...have a phone contest with the 3 winners.  Whom ever wins is the new host.

EDIT:  If this pulls really high ratings, I could see an NBC sitcom star on DoND.  Dwight Schrute would be my pick.

DOND and LAS VEGAS already did a crossover segment.. "Delinda" (Molly Sims) came on the set to get Howie to take him to the Montecito (with the current contestants still on stage immediately after the show)

I'm pretty sure they named said guest in one of the earliest press releases for the special.

I was a little upset that there wasn't more sceneage regarding Barney's TPIR Appearance.

You do realize that it was a sitcom, and not a Price episode, right?

Um....Yhahhh!!!  

I just thought they would have expounded on the TPIR subplot a little more when Barney was at the studio -- a scene where Barney was hitting on one of Barker's Beautys would have been a natural!

/"Dad, may I go out with one of your Beauties?".  
//"You mean my Dad already spent time with you?  Ewww!"

*sigh.* Why do I bother.

I haven't seen the show, but is "Barney" a nickname?

Nope. That's the character's name.

I won't say who it is because that may be considered a spoiler, but it will not be his successor. Considering the hype, I can see it being a disappointment.

Hmmm..... well that rules out Rosie O'Donnell, she's never a disappointment.

Honestly, I'm surprised there wasn't a little more.  The way they were milking this whole TPiR crossover to mega extremes (commercials in pretty much every CBS show, Neil plugging the 15 seconds thing...) that I was kinda expecting the entire storyline to follow his ploy to meet Bob.

That said, I was really happy on how the episode did turn out...it flowed really well.

From the bits and pieces I saw on YouTube, I thought it was great. Bob was just being Bob and Neil was hilarious.
Favorite Part: Barney complaining about one of the Showcases. I basically say the same thing every time I see the Showcases.

You realize, these days, that isn't a compliment, right?

/no, of course you don't.

After seeing some of the comments, and seeing the episode, I think some of you are taking this episode WAY too seriously. You do realize that the writers are writing for a general audience, and not the rabid fans?

No, they really don't. That's a big part of the problem.
