Jason Segel may be a Los Angeles homey, but the “How I Met Your Mother” funnyguy is rooting for Tom Brady [stats] and Co. tomorrow night in Super Bowl XLVI. “Patriots [team stats] 34-27,” predicted Segel, who was perhaps pandering to the posse of his Newton relatives who were sitting in the front row last night when he was toasted and roasted as Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ Man of the Year. “This is a very prestigious thing and it’s very fun, [...]

The film, directed, written by and starring “How I Met Your Mother” lead Josh Radnor, came to the festival with a low profile.
