As How I Met Your Mother wraps up its fourth season, fans can expect to get drop-ins from faces both familiar and new.

From the latter category, Danny Glover will turn up “in an interesting way,” series cocreator Carter Bays tells TVGuide.com.

Hmm, could it be that Barney and his brother James (played here and there by Wayne Brady) have — gasp — different fathers? “Boy, I wish had thought of that a month ago!” Bays says upon hearing our suggestion. “That’s much better than what we came up with.” Oh, we highly doubt that.

Glover’s Mother visit comes on the heels of the Lethal Weapon star scoring a role on My Name Is Earl, as Crab Man’s daddy. He also wooed Sally Field last season on Brothers & Sisters.

In addition to “a couple other” such guest castings on the horizon, Bays promises that fans will “see some old favorites come back — people that you haven’t seen in a while — which will be fun.”

And on top of it all? Bays hints at “a cool surprise” that will lead us ever closer to a certain Mother, saying, “The last few episodes will address the title of the show.”

Season: 4    Episode: 16    First Aired: 3/9/2009

For once, I’m probably not jerking your chain with that title.

How I Met Your Mother co-creator Carter Bays tells me that the sitcom’s central mystery is about to be solved. Or rather, resolved. At least kinda-sorta.

“At the end of the season, we will address the title of our show,” reveals Bays, adding that the last four episodes will feature “big events in the lives of our characters — specifically Ted (Josh Radnor). We’re going to wrap up some things that have been left dangling.”

Translation: I think the M-bomb’s about to be dropped!

Bays wouldn’t elaborate on the nature of the revelation (i.e. will the mom actually be ID’d?) or how it might figure into this season’s cliffhanger. “But I will say at the very least that the season will end with a complete sentence,” he teases. “We’ve left some sentence fragments dangling in past seasons, but this year, there will either be a period, a question mark or an exclamation point. We will be giving the audience that.”

Thoughts on what that sentence could be? Do you think we’ll actually meet the mother or just learn more about her? Are you happy the show is getting back to its primary conceit? Sound off below!
