Network Executives are denying (and slamming) reports that Britney Spear’s appearance on How I Met Your Mother saved the show from sagging ratings. 

Despite her appearance in two episodes sending the ratings soaring, it wasn’t what saved this show, nor was it enough to get her an Emmy nomination for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series category.

Network entertainment president Nina Tassler explains:

“It (How I Met Your Mother) was never in danger; we just took a while to make the announcement (of its renewal).”

CBS executives have not confirmed if Spears will be back on the show.

I really hope she is.  I thought she was freakin hysterical on it.  Her comedic timing is priceless!!
