Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the episode "Matchmaker," who plays Ellen Pierce, the owner/operator of the Love Solutions matchmaking service?

Answer: Camryn Manheim

Ellen tried to give Ted back his money as she had a 100% success rate until he came along. She refused Barney right away because.. well.. he's Barney. Megan Mullally also guest stars later in the series as the voice of Barney's mother.

2. In the episode "Belly Full of Turkey", Marshall takes Lily to his family home for Thanksgiving. Who plays Marvin Erickson, Sr. (Marshall's father)?

3. This child star from an 80's television series played Trudy, Ted's one night stand, in the episode "The Pineapple Incident".

Answer: Danica McKeller

Danica played Winnie Cooper on "The Wonder Years" and in my opinion, looks exactly the same now!

4. Who played Sandy Rivers, a co-anchor of Robin's newscast in the episode "Come On"?

Answer: Alexis Denishof

There seems to be a connection between Joss Whedon and "How I Met Your Mother". Alexis Denishof (Sandy Rivers) played Wesley Wyndam-Pryce on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". He is also married to Alyson Hannigan who played Willow Rosenberg on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

The other actors mentioned also have a connection to Joss Whedon's TV shows and have also guest starred. Amy Acker (Penelope) played Winifred Burkle on "Angel", Harry Groener (Clint) played Mayor Richard Wilkins on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and Morena Baccarin (Chloe) played Inara Serra on "Firefly".

5. In the episode "Brunch," we finally meet Ted's parents, played by Cristine Rose and what former TV father?

Answer: Michael Gross

Michael played Steven Keaton on "Family Ties" as well as a very humorous turn in the movie "Tremors".

6. In the episode "Aldrin Justice", Hammond Druthers, Ted's boss at the architectural firm, designs a building with an inappropriate shape. Who plays this odd and sarcastic character?

Answer: Bryan Cranston

Bryan is more commonly known for his portrayal of Hal on the sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle".

7. This pioneer woman was the cougar that Barney swore that he could tame on the episode "Aldrin Justice".

Answer: Jane Seymour

She was Marshall's law instructor, Professor Lewis. Barney was trying to get Marshall a better grade on a paper by taming her. The adventure wound up breaking Barney's hip and still did not even earn an "A".

8. Barney's brother James is, if possible, even more full of awesome than Barney. Who plays this trend setting, suited up, legendary sibling?

Answer: Wayne Brady

The gang preps Robin before meeting James by letting her know to not be shocked when she meets him as he is gay. When Wayne Brady walks through the door the look on her face is priceless. "Thanks for the heads up."

9. Barney believes that his father is a famous game show host. Which show and host pairing is correct?

Answer: "The Price is Right" - Bob Barker

Barney went on the show to make his father proud of him and won everything including both prizes in the "Showcase Showdown". At the end of the episode Barney could not bring himself to tell Bob that he was his son.

10. Future Ted, who is narrating the story in every episode, is voiced by what comedic actor?

Answer: Bob Saget

Bob is most well known for his role on "Full House" as single dad Danny Tanner. His stand up routines are not quite as wholesome.
