WGN America's HIMYM Super Bowl Stunt; Sitcom Stars on Talk Shows (Week of January 26, 2015)

Suit up, because this is going to be legendary! On Sunday, February 1, while some sports fans might be watching a football game played in Arizona, WGN America will be hosting the "1st Annual We Know It's The Day Of The Big Game But Please Watch Us Anyway How I Met Your Mother Barney Bowl Marathon" Sponsored by Little Caesars Pizza, an epic 10-hour, 20-episode championship binge-watching event, kicking off at 12pm ET/11am CT. The marathon features America's true sports hero Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris), with fan-favorite football-themed episodes from the series including "Tramp Stamp" and "Monday Night Football." The "Barney Bowl" will be brought to viewers by Little Caesars Pizza. During the all-day marathon escapades of the How I Met Your Mother gang, fans can follow Barney as he not only suits up, but keeps viewers up-to-speed on social media with "Play-by-Play" hourly updates – all delivered with his trademark snark and charm.
