Josh Radnor To Replace Bob Saget As Narrator In 'How I Met Your Mother' Series Finale - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

According to a new report by Michael Ausiello, Bob Saget will be replaced by Josh Radnor as the narrator on the series finale of How I Met Your Mother!

Here's the scoop from Ausiello:

"The HIMYM series finale will likely feature 'the most awkward transition in series television' when Josh Radnor assumes narrator duties from Bob Saget, says exec producer Craig Thomas, who confirms that viewers 'are going to see Josh in some makeup' since the baton passing would be set far into the future."

And here's more from HIMYM executive producer Craig Thomas via Ausiello:

"When I watched the end of the last Harry Potter [movie] I had such respect for what a problem that was to just jump ahead and look so much older, [because] we might be staring into the barrel of a makeup situation at some point."

I wonder when the finale will be? It seems like they will have another season. I don't think Bob will be losing anything if he doesn't do the finale.

Why does Bob Saget narrate to begin with when Ted is already an adult (unlike on The Wonder Years)!?

Why is Bob Saget uncredited in his voice-only role as "Future Ted" in this series?
