Josh Radnor says the cast of "How I Met Your Mother" is no longer close, comparing the nine-season bond to a college friendship that simply faded after graduation. Radnor, who played Ted Mosby on the CBS sitcom from 2005 to 2014, was blunt when asked on the "Half the Picture" podcast whether the cast still keeps in touch the way they did during production. "No. Not even a little bit," he told the podcast . For a show built around a tight-knit group of friends sharing a booth at a New York City bar, the admission lands with a certain irony fans will feel. But Radnor did not frame it as bitterness. He framed it as life. Radnor compares the cast bond to college, intense, then gone Radnor offered a long, unguarded explanation of how five…Open

Katey Sagal has opened up about the day she lost co-star John Ritter to a sudden aortic dissection in 2003, a loss that still shapes how she remembers one of television's most beloved actors. Sagal, 72, told podcast host Ted Danson on *Where Everybody Knows Your Name* that she was on the set of ABC's *8 Simple Rules* the afternoon Ritter fell ill. By that evening, he was gone. He was 54 years old. The timeline she described was jarring in its speed. The cast finished shooting a promotional segment around 4:00 p.m. on September 11, 2003. Ritter wasn't feeling well and retreated to his room. Sagal and the rest of the cast went home. Roughly five hours later, she learned Ritter had been rushed to Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Burbank,…Open

Actress Mackenzie Phillips says producers forced her off the set of the hit CBS sitcom "One Day at a Time" after she refused an on-the-spot drug test, a test she admits she would have failed. Phillips, now 66, laid out the account at a recent panel appearance at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she told fans that her contract included a morals clause with teeth sharper than the standard version. Every cast member signed a morals agreement, she said, but hers carried a specific provision: if producers suspected she was under the influence, they could haul her to a doctor for a urinalysis on the spot. That provision came due during a lunch break. Phillips told the panel she had fallen asleep on a couch on set when co-executive…Open

Henry Winkler, 80, used a recent fan expo appearance to remind audiences that the "Happy Days" cast kept egos in check, and to single out one unnamed guest star who refused to get the message. Speaking at a fan convention in Tennessee, Winkler described the culture on the set of the long-running sitcom as fiercely egalitarian. The show ran for 11 seasons, from 1974 to 1984, and turned Winkler's Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli into one of the most recognizable characters in television history. Two Golden Globe Awards came with the role. But Winkler told the crowd that none of that mattered once the cameras were rolling. "On our set, there was no stardom," Winkler said. "We were an ensemble. We worked hard at making it funny every week." That…Open
