Michael Ausiello at
TVGuide.com has been playing with his calculator, or maybe it was an abacus. Anyway, Mike has used some oh-so-creative math to add two and two together to get a major revelation on a CBS sitcom. Okay, here's the scoop.
Mr. Ausiello has gotten an exclusive casting tidbit from How I Met Your Mother.Alicia Silverstone, star of
Clueless on the big screen
, Miss Match on the small, has been signed for a series of episodes, a mini-arc.

After some rocky negotiations, Alicia Silverstone has agreed to play a role in a mid-season NBC comedy,
The Singles Table. The series is about a group of people who bond when they keep getting put at wedding reception tables with each other because they're all dateless. Silverstone will play a doctor who realizes she has no social life.
This is actually Silverstone's third attempt at series television. You may remember she starred in the short-lived NBC series
Miss Match in 2003 and she didn't make it on to television earlier this year with a
failed pilot for ABC called
Pink Collar. This time, however, we can expect to see her on television as NBC has already committed to airing the comedy at mid-season.
