How I Met Your Mother: star Neil Patrick Harris does not want Britney Spears back on the show, PEOPLE reports.

Neil Patrick Harris does not want Britney Spears back on the show

“I’m in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed,” Harris, 34, tells the Associated Press. “I worry that if they start Will and Grace-ing us too much, that the show will suffer. And we’re all really proud of the content of the show.”

He adds, “I mean, viewership is not our game. It’s the network and the studio’s game, you know. It’s the promotion department’s game,” he says.
