Awww, I really feel for NPH, because I am always having to pee at the most inopportune times, but this story really had me cracking up:

At last night’s fan event for How I Met Your Mother at the TV Academy in North Hollywood, NPH made a dash for the bathroom in the middle of the panel discussion (proving even his two preggo costars, Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders, are better at holding it).

Bad luck for Neil though, since Jason Segel remembered his buddy still had his mic on. Over the crowd’s laughter, we fans could hear that Neil took a tip from Jack Donaghy and gave himself a little pep talk, saying, “Wake up!” before a publicist bolted in to tell him he was not alone.

Onstage, Segel exclaimed, “This never happens in real life!” to which Josh Radnor replied, “It’s like an episode of 30 Rock.”

Why was he telling his penis to wake up?

Isn’t that what you do when you’re trying to have sex, not pee?

There is clearly something about the male urination process that I don’t quite understand.

    Haha, him telling himself to wake up proved to the entire panel and audience that he was bored out of his skull being there! Hilar.

    I’ll wake him up, anywhere anytime. He needs to dump his boyfriend and give me a call. I’m waiting, NPH!

    Oh my God. I’m totally telling my guy friends to wake the fuck up next time one of them excuse themselves to use the bathroom.

  11. MoJo says:

    His boyfriend’s totally cute, so I doubt he has to give his lil NPH a pep talk then. The panel must’ve really been boring.

    Not one to savor the misfortunes of NPH (I love him too much), but how awesomely awesome would it be if this even was taped?

    Dude, that episode of 30 Rock was hilarious.
