Just noticed this as I RTd a talk josh did on fame off YouTube. I wonder if they don't get on, they both follow all the other cast members except each other? It's sad if they don't as they seem to really get on and I'd like to think they do having worked with each other for over 9 years.

shareWithout giving away too many personal details here, I have a friend who has worked with Josh before and she said he was a nightmare to work with. She felt that he was very conflicted as a person; egotistical because of his achievements but at the same time very insecure as a man.
He had openly told her that he hated working on HIMYM, he felt like he was more creative and more intellectual than the show and hates the stigma that's been attached to him because of it. Which begs the question, why did he stay on the show beyond his initial contract? The answer being money. She said behind closed doors, he was incredibly ungrateful of what the show did for him. He wasn't into meeting his fans because he despised them referring to him as 'Ted' as opposed to his actual name.
And Re: NPH. My understanding is that somewhere along the line, their relationship just turned sour. I don't think there's any hate there, but they just didn't get along. My friend felt that it was down to ego's. Josh felt Ted was the main character in the show, yet Barney was the one that became the most popular and NPH was the one who went on to get more attention after the show ended.
'Tis all.
Agh ok. What a shame because their chemistry on the show is fantastic, they really come across as friends. NPH has done very well out of HIMYM and is the main comedic element to the show in my opinion. Before I watched this show I had no idea he was even gay! Shocked me that his character plays the worlds biggest player and he's actually gay.
You should watch that fame talk that Josh does as it kind of explains maybe why he doesn't get on with NPH as he openly admits to suffering with depression whilst on the show and struggling to deal with the fame the succes of the show brought him.
Thanks for the info!
