Barney loves Robin, Robin loves Barney, but can they actually have a romance and become boyfriend/girlfriend? Mary Hart has the cast of "How I Met Your Mother" on the ET stage to answer that question and much more about the fifth season of this year's Emmy nominated CBS comedy.

Neil Patrick Harris, Cobie Smulders, Jason Segel, Josh Radnor and Alyson Hannigan drop by Stage 4 to give Mary the inside scoop on the upcoming season.

"If by romance, you mean shagging a lot, probably…," Neil jokes, channeling his inner Barney. "I don't know. [Barney and Robin] have strong emotional feelings for each other, but they are the kind of individuals who probably aren't meant for long-term relationships."
