"The cast of How I Met Your Mother was on The Talk just a few minutes ago, and things were humming along charmingly&amp;amp;#8212;the hosts shuffling through cards with questions, the cast giving sweet little answers&amp;amp;#8212;when suddenly Jason Segel said, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;ll tell you a story that isn&amp;#x27;t on the cards.&amp;quot; Obviously, as people are wont to be when Segel gets all cute and impish, everyone was all ears. And he didn&amp;#x27;t disappoint. The group had been discussing the high-stakes casting decision that was filling the Mother role&amp;amp;#8212;and about how often they&amp;#x27;d all been asked in interviews, over the years, whom they hoped or thought it would be. &amp;quot;I ran out of answers, cute answers...so I just started saying I&amp;#x27;m hoping for Hillary Clinton. I said it in a lot of interviews,&amp;quot; Segel told Aisha Tyler. Then, a year and a half ago, Segel arrived home one day to a very esteemed-looking piece of mail. &amp;quot;A letter arrived at my house...from Hillary Clinton.&amp;quot; In it, Clinton said she was &amp;quot;very flattered&amp;quot; but that she was &amp;quot;busy with matters of the nation,&amp;quot; which as it happens is the most badass excuse ever. If I could factually say that I was busy with matters of the nation, I&amp;#x27;d say it to everyone: the dentist, my dog, robocallers. What a bawse. As we know, Cristin Milioti ended up stepping in when the former Secretary of State couldn&amp;#x27;t make it work&amp;amp;#8212;and tonight, we get to see her story in the show&amp;#x27;s 200th episode, &amp;quot;How Your Mother Met Me.&amp;quot; Eee!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
