How I Met Your Mother Star Josh Radnor Reacts to LeBron James News as Himself and Ted Mosby

How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor played Ted Mosby for nine seasons on the hit CBS sitcom. The actor hails from Columbus, Ohio, and the character comes from the town of Shaker Heights in the same state. So the news of LeBron James' return to the Cleveland Cavaliers affects both of them, but in very different ways.

Radnor filmed a short clip of himself (via EW.com) reacting to the news as both himself and his character. The footage starts with a bearded Radnor casually saying a few words about the news, which doesn't seem to move him all that much. Then comes a clean-shaven Radnor as Teddy Westside, who screams, squeals and cries with delight at the news that his savior has come home. He even blows the blue French horn from the show and wears a Wesleyan University shirt!

In other HIMYM news, here's how actress Cristin Milioti found out The Mother's fate in the series finale:

"I didn't know from the beginning. I had no idea," Milioti said at the Television Critics Association press tour while promoting her new romantic comedy A to Z on NBC. But series co-creator Craig Thomas spilled the beans to the lovely and charming actress over a few drinks at the Christmas party last year.

"Craig was talking to me and we both had a couple of drinks," she said., according to E! Online. "And he gets very giddy and happy when he's had a few, and he was like, 'Do you want to know how it ends?' And as a complete joke, I said, 'What, do I die?' And he was like, 'Do you want to know?' And I said, 'Yeah, I do.' And he told me."

So what was her reaction?

"I sat there sobbing," Milioti said. "He wrote me an e-mail the next day being like, 'I'm so sorry I told you that way. You seemed really upset.'"
