New York (CNN) -- Robert "Joe" Halderman,
the former CBS News producer accused of trying to blackmail
comedian David Letterman, agreed Tuesday to plead guilty to
grand larceny in the second degree in exchange for six
months in jail, five years probation and 1,000 hours of
community service.
"This is a serious sentence that properly reflects the
crimes that Mr. Halderman has now admitted that he
committed, and it is a fitting end to the case," said
Letterman lawyer Daniel J. Horwitz.
The history of stunt-casting on "How I Met Your Mother"
is a mixed one - with Britney Spears delivering a bad
performance in one of the series' best episodes (and a
better performance in a later episode), Enrique Iglesias'
pretty memorable turn (as opposed to Mandy Moore's), and
Carrie Underwood upstaged by a teacup pig just last week.
On Monday night, we had Jennifer Lopez as the author of a
book for single women, not unlike "The Rules," who refuses
to be Barney's one-night stand... or even 16-night stand.
This time, the guest shot worked: it moved the plot forward
without distracting from it.
