First, Carrie Underwood. Then, Jennifer Lopez.
The former singer will guest star on the March 1 episode of How I Met Your Mother. Following her appearance as a woman that jerks Ted around, Lopez will show up on the sitcom.
She'll play Anita, a self-help author that tries to seduce Barney. Check out the first photo of J. Lo on HIMYM below:
Tweeted Neil Patrick Harris:
“[She] was really great. Hot, cool, and funny. And well prepared! She gave me a few pointers.”
