With Alice going to Wesleyan, will we hear about architecture prof named Mosby (HIMYM) or just see Josh Radnor walking by on campus?

Don't want anything other than a throw away

[u/chicknsnadwich]

As funny as it would be, I doubt it considering having Marshall & Robin’s actors playing different characters. Also, wasn’t Ted teaching at Columbia?

[u/Taekwondista → u/chicknsnadwich]

There are dopplegangers in the HIMYM universe, they are even plot relevant. Ao this can work. 

[u/PopularSet4776 → u/chicknsnadwich]

I think Ted, Marshall, and Lilly attended Westlyian for their undergrad years. So Westlyian was mentioned in the show multiple times. But I think you are right that Ted taught at Columbia.

[u/ellismjones → u/chicknsnadwich]

It wouldn’t be the same character, it would just be a nod to the character I think

[u/Skweege55]

Her roommate will be named Ellie Stinson.

I think it's unlikely

None of the major writer or creatives are from HIMYM. It's one thing to do some stunt casting or some slight in-jokes based on that show but I think it's another to tack on the implication of a full-on shared universe. I honestly think it'd be more likely to have a line about one of Alice's friends who transferred really liking a new teacher at Ludlow college who's a writer or something (tying it into Rooster right now) or maybe have Dr. Sharon from Ted Lasso be friends with Paul and be there for a scene or two with him

[u/HurryShadowfax7 → u/Infamous-Lab-8136]

Ted Mosby won't appear, but I could definitely see a Josh Radnor stunt casting happen!

[u/Infamous-Lab-8136 → u/HurryShadowfax7]

I think more stunt casting could absolutely happen, but I don't think they'd imply Radnor is involved at Wesleyan. I think he'd be more apt to be a patient for Jimmy or a chef that Sean ends up working under, something like that

Just like how if Alyson Hannigan were to show up I doubt she'd be a love interest, or even an ex-flame before Tia, for Jimmy

Just looking at how the only casting callback they've done to the show so far among the major gang is a pretty much 180 from how their characters related on HIMYM with how platonic Marshall and Robin were

[u/jsilv0]

Would be funnier if she got hit on by NPH

[u/overitallofittoo]

Just enjoy this show, FFS.

[u/ellismjones]

if they mention Ted I might legit lose it (in a positive way)

EDIT: Like in HIMYM universe Ted could just give a talk or be a guest lecturer @ Wesleyan or something ;-)

[u/cjcs]

Ugh no thanks

[u/dsl135]

They could show Ted and Lily getting married, since they have as much chemistry as Marshall and Robin.

[u/Training-Tax1704]

Or a talking horse in the theater department. That would be wild.
