Based on some fine detective work, TV Guide is speculating that the ‘mother’ of CBS’ How I Met Your Mother may in fact be….Alicia Silverstone.

That educated guess is based the Clueless star’s several episode arc with ‘father’ Ted later this season.  (And it’s not like any love interest every sticks around for long on that show.)

If it isn’t Silverstone, let’s hope the writers introduce the mommy quick.  If CBS doesn’t renew the show (it’s not yet on the fall schedule), we may never find out.
