BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Cristin Milioti knows what it’s like to be a woman of destiny.
In her new sitcom A-to-Z (coming this fall to NBC and Global), Milioti’s character has been the vague object of infatuation for a character played by Ben Feldman, after he merely caught a glimpse of her. Milioti, of course, had a philosophically similar role when she was brought on late in the series run of How I Met Your Mother to play the iconic “mother” that Josh Radnor’s character was fated to find and marry.
Milioti was asked at the Television Critics Association event if she actually believes in destiny, and that there’s one perfect person out there for all of us.
Before Milioti could answer, her A-to-Z castmate Feldman chimed in, “Is it me or Josh Radnor?”
“That’s what everyone wants to know,” Milioti answered. “Surprise! It’s neither!”
Ouch. Sorry, Ben and Josh.
“(Believing in destiny) depends on which day you get me,” Milioti added. “I would say I believe in destiny 85% of the time. No, 94% of the time. If the right song is playing and the sunlight is good and hits me a certain way, I believe in it.”
