Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting up to 2025–2026:
- Bob Odenkirk has historically had notable guest returns to How I Met Your Mother, including a return as Arthur Hobbs in earlier seasons. If you’re asking about any new or current involvement, there hasn’t been widely reported fresh casting news placing him in HIMYM beyond the established recurring appearances through season 6 and into season 8 in references from 2012–2015 era. For the most up-to-date status, I’d need a current news check.
Key notes:
- His HIMYM appearances were tied to his role as Arthur Hobbs, Barney’s former boss at GNB, with returns tied to specific episodes and storylines (prenup negotiations in season 8).[1][3]
- Recent coverage (2012–2015) focused on HIMYM-related reappearances rather than ongoing, current involvement as of 2026.[2][3]
- Broader news about Odenkirk in 2023–2025 centers on projects like Better Call Saul and public updates from health incidents, not HIMYM continuations.[4]
