The show has remained vibrantly alive in our collective pop culture memory, with fans around the world still sharing stories of how HIMYM is not just a hilarious comedy but also medicine for the soul in hard times. Now, JOSH RADNOR (who played “Ted Mosby”) has teamed up with series co-creator CRAIG THOMAS to explore, episode-by-episode, the mystery at the heart of what has made this show so durable and beloved. It’s time – much like the older, wiser narrator Ted does in the show – to look back on this adventure that occupied a pivotal decade of their lives: how the show changed them, how it changed its fans, and how it changed the culture. With plenty of special guests joining us along the way, this podcast will use HIMYM’s trenchant themes as jumping-off points for larger discussions about life, loss, and love. This is HOW WE MADE YOUR MOTHER: A flashback podcast for a flashback show.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T16:17:19.694198+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-we-made-your-mother-7198017"},"episode":{"title":"How We Met John Cho | S3E06 \"I'm Not That Guy\"","slug":"how-we-met-john-cho-s3e06-i-m-not-that-guy","published_at":"2026-06-25T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-we-made-your-mother-7198017/how-we-met-john-cho-s3e06-i-m-not-that-guy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-we-made-your-mother-7198017","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/v9Uiw3bGr54f6BVZKSyc/serve.castfire.com/audio/8443321/8443321_2026-06-10-162621.192.mp3?rssID=6399","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/v9Uiw3bGr54f6BVZKSyc/serve.castfire.com/audio/8443321/8443321_2026-06-10-162621.192.mp3?rssID=6399","summary":"In this bonus episode, Josh and Craig finally get the chance to sit down with John Cho, who played the delightfully manipulative Jefferson Coatsworth in “I’m Not That Guy.” What starts as a discussion of his HIMYM guest appearance turns into a wide-ranging conversation about comedy, acting, and career longevity. John shares why he loved playing a charming villain, reflects on the unique rhythm of HIMYM’s writing and production style, and compares it to traditional sitcoms filmed before a live audience. The three also revisit their early days in Hollywood, discuss rejection, resilience, and the unpredictable paths creative careers take, and explore how success often comes from following opportunities rather than trying to control every step. It’s a thoughtful, funny conversation about craft, friendship, and the lessons that only become clear when you look back.
