According to a recently published report, How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segel stated that he would quit the show after its upcoming eighth season.

Segel allegedly stated that he was happy to do more R-rated material, and felt that he was done with playing the nice guy.

However, Segel’s reps have thankfully shot down the rumour. EW reports the comment:

Perhaps something got lost in translation, but season 9 hasn’t even been addressed yet.

Phew! Now we’ll have to wait and see how the season 9 negotiations come along.
