As season 8 of the CBS hit TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother nears the end of its current installment, the suspense of the future Stinson-Scherbatsky wedding has seemingly increased.

Although the holy union is surely a momentous occasion, Carter Matt recently stated that neither John Lithgow (Barney's father) or Wayne Brady (Barney's half-brother) will be guest starring in any of the remaining episodes this season. However, it was said that actress Francis Conroy (Barney's mother) will indeed be back for an episode.

While Conroy has had her hands full with American Horror Story and an upcoming appearance on Royal Pains, she has managed to squeeze in time for HIMYM, and will reportedly be in the Bro Mitzvah finale episode.

Also set to appear in the same showing is Ralph Macchio, who will funny enough, be playing the part of himself.

The TV gossip site reported that the respective episode will feature Barney making the trek back to Atlantic City.

Despite there being only two episodes left on the current season, it's not farfetched to think that other notable actors will be signed on to guest star as well.

Next up for CBS' How I Met Your Mother is its Romeward Bound episode, which will be airing on Monday, April 15. Bro Mitzvah is scheduled to air the following week.

A still shot video for the upcoming installment can be viewed below.
