I think Cobie has become my favorite actor on this show and while I liked her a lot from the start, the whole Robin Sparkles persona sealed the deal.

I was watching the commentary this morning (again) for Slap Bet and I love when Craig says (paraphrasing) "Turns out Cobie's inner Debbie Gibson is only half a scotch away!" Cracks me up.

I've never really noticed any women before who wore knee high boots before (due to not having as much leg to look at), but I've noticed Cobie wearing them and she wears them well.

While NPH is my favorite actor, Cobie is my favorite actress and that is saying something considering that I loved watching AH on BtvS.

Cobie cracks me up as Robin Sparkles. Lame, cheesy goodness! Though the "regular" Robin Scherbatsky has become pretty damned interesting, too...especially in relation to the whole Ted/Barney saga.

[vivaldi]

Cobie has amazing comic timing. She seriously can crack me up with the littlest line of dialogue.

Cobie is expecting! How are they going to work around that?!

[Senator X]

That'll be interesting. Robin hates kids. Although maybe the episode with the baby sock was setting something up.

[Klutzygirl]

Congratulations to Cobie! What are the odds of two actresses on the same show getting pregnant at the same time?

[vivaldi]

Congratulations to Cobie!

There must be something strong in the water over at HIMYM!

[SilverPoet]

Big congrats to Cobie! I can't wait to see how the writers play hide the bump with TWO ladies!

[vivaldi]

The hide the bump game should be interesting for sure. LOL

I just watched an old Smallville episode and realized that Cobie was in it. Quite random!

[Moonlighter]

Speaking of things Cobie's been in, I saw on her IMDb that she was in an episode of Tru Calling. Anyone remember her from that? I really liked that show, but I can't recall her appearance, so I was wondering if anyone could help jog my memory.

[vivaldi]

I remember her episode of True Calling. She was really good in it even though I didn't know who she was at the time it aired.

You actually watch her scenes on youtube.

[Moonlighter]

Thanks, vivaldi, for the head's up!

Cobie Smulders - Actress Of The Day

Very cute picture of Cobie with the little girl who played Little Robin.

She got engaged!

[jkalderash]

I hadn't realized her fiance Taran Killam played Blauman on the show. Also, Jimmy the Overly Touchy Orderly on Scrubs. Hee.

[sillytwoshoes]

Huh. I took a look at Taran's IMDb page, then at Cobie's. It seems that they were born only two days apart.

[MboyHobbs]

Wouldn't it be a cute coincidence if the baby was born in the middle?

[sillytwoshoes]

That would be adorable. I just "aw"d out loud. AOLed?

Robin Sparkles Vs. Phoebe Buffay

Anyone else squeeing over Cobie's baby bump under her silk pj's in the last scene with Ted? It's not big yet, but those pajamas really highlighted it - they must not have realized they'd need to start covering it up yet!

[nowisthetime]

I thought so too, but I talked to my sister today, and when I said, "Yeah, I could really see that Robin* is pregnant in the scene where she was wearing pajamas," she said, "Woah, Robin's pregnant?! I did not know that at all! I knew Lily was, but..." So maybe I just noticed it because I know.

*My sister, sadly, is not as devoted to HIMYM as I am, and does not know any of the names of the actors (save NPH. Because it's NPH). She's kind of weirded out that I call her to discuss episodes at all.

[SwtSassyMolassy]

I totally noticed in the pajama scene at the end that Cobie's face look fuller... I mean, she's still skinny as hell (*cough*bitemeHowardSternandImsureNPHwouldagree*cough*)*, but for HER, her face looked fuller... it took me people mentioning it to notice that you could see her baby bump in the pajamas, but now that it's been mentioned, you're right... you totally can... I think they didn't worry about it because you could easily explain that away by saying the PJs were billowy and just gave the illuson of a baby bump...

*long story, but in a nutshell, Howard Stern told NPH in an interview last year that Cobie looks fat (before she was pregnant, this was in the 3rd season) and that it made him stop watching the show... NPH's head nearly exploded and he disagreed with Howard vehemently and kept reiterating how hot Cobie is... even after the interview was over and he was interviewed in the hallway about how the interview went, he kept saying that while the interview went well, he just couldn't understand WTF Howard was saying about Cobie because she's so hot... I have to say I loved how defensive he was on her behalf... everyone say "awwwwwww"...

Hee, I'm actually listening to this interview right now. Again.

even after the interview was over and he was interviewed in the hallway about how the interview went, he kept saying that while the interview went well, he just couldn't understand WTF Howard was saying about Cobie because she's so hot...

This, however, I haven't seen/read. Really? Wow, his level of defensiveness is epic and interesting. Aw, I love our cast.

Even pregnant, Cobie looks better than 99% of women. She is absolutely gorgeous, and I loved the adorable pajamas they had her in at the end.

Are you listening to the interview (i.e. audio) or did you see the taped video version of the interview? Cuz in the video version, it starts and ends with NPH being interviewed about how he feels going in (he's nervous and he's going to drink some Red Bull to stay alert) and how he feels going out (he was scared that Howard would be really hard on him, but it went okay, but WTF was his thing with Cobie being fat? She's HOT and skinny!!!)... that's pretty much how that went... I was able to view it on Youtube one night when someone put it up, but it was down by the next day... I was in the right place at the right time...

[Shattered]

I could only find the audio version. Guess I'm off to hunt me down some video.

[SwtSassyMolassy]

Good luck with that... I found it from a poster named "fridduska" on Youtube... she/he still has video of NPH on Celebrity Poker and Celebrity Pyramid, but she took down the Howard Stern interview after one night... I imagine Youtube told her to or something...
