An executive producer for "How I Met Your Mother" says he's open to having Britney Spears return for another cameo. "We
always said, 'You know, if her character pops, we'll bring her back,"' Carter Bays told The Associated Press
on
Thursday.
"I
thought she was great. I was very proud
of
that episode."
Spears, 26, garnered good reviews for her guest starring role as a goofy receptionist in the March 24 episode
of
the cult CBS
sitcom. The show ended with Spears' character flirting with womanizer Barney (Neil Patrick Harris).
On the following episode, which aired Monday, the show introduced a "mystery woman" who's been sabotaging Barney's
usually successful attempts to pick up ladies.
Asked
if
Spears might turn out to be the saboteur, Bays said: "Could be. There's
no
reason why not." He also suggested
actress Sarah Chalke, who guest starred alongside Spears.
Bays said it was surreal to see Spears on the set.
"It was totally weird
....
I think we have a very, like, kind
of
Midwestern homey vibe here on the show, and it was strange to
suddenly have helicopters circling," he said.
So will she or won't she come back?
"I
don't know," he said.
"I
don't know the answer to that."
