Wait, What?!


























One of the quirkiest aspects of How I Met Your Mother is the fact that the show is narrated by Bob Saget, who plays Ted from the future telling his children the story of how he met their mother. Though the fact he sounds significantly different from the actor who actually portrays Ted, Josh Radnor, the audience is suppose to believe that it's the same guy.

I mean, besides that hilariously awkward period every prepubescent boy goes through where his voicebox sounds like a dying cat, does a man's voice change that much throughout his lifetime?

Anyway, it's been something about the show that everyone has just seemingly accepted, and felt was their own little inside joke with Craig Thomas.

But, according to the executive producer, on the series finale, the narration duties will officially switch from Bob Saget... back to Josh Radner.

What? What the hell is this, Craig Thomas? Well, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, I won't watch the series finale! Actually, I'll probably watch the series finale.

I assume through the brilliance of the show, they'll find a way to make this transition relevant and funny, and maybe it'll be their way of finally addressing that weird detail of Ted turning into Bob Saget when he gets older. Maybe we'll have a special appearance by the Sag-man himself? That'd be incredible. Almost as incredible as finding out who the freakin' mother is.

So, cheers to the series finale, whenever it is, to clear up odd medical specimens of voice transformation, but to hope that I get to watch Ted be 'kind of a douche' for at least a couple more season.
