'HIMYM' Mother Revealed In Season Finale: Who Is The Mother Beneath The Yellow Umbrella? (VIDEO)

"How I Met Your Mother" finally revealed the woman beneath the yellow umbrella in the season finale -- and it's someone you've probably never heard of.

After eight seasons, the mother turned out to be an actress by the name of Cristin Milioti. Milioti has had guest spots on "30 Rock" (she was "sexy baby" Abby Flynn) and "The Sopranos" but is perhaps best known for her Tony-nominated role in the Broadway musical "Once."

Naturally, she was spotted paying for a ticket to Farhampton, which "HIMYM" fans learned in the season premiere would be a pivotal place for Ted and his future bride.

It remains to be seen how the character credited only as "woman with umbrella" will evolve in the show's ninth and final season, but it's interesting that the producers avoided stunt-casting for the role, which will hopefully allow viewers to focus on the character instead of the person playing her.

What did you think of the "How I Met Your Mother" finale? Were you pleased with the mother reveal? Weigh in below and share your predictions for the final season!

'The Big Bang Theory' Season Finale: Will Leonard And Penny Stay Together?

All's well right now on "The Big Bang Theory" as far as Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny's (Kaley Cuoco) relationship is concerned.

But according to TVLine, the season finale will present Leonard with a huge obstacle: a job offer overseas.

“He's a little nervous, because he doesn't want anything to get screwed up," executive producer Steven Molaro said, adding that although Penny is supportive she would "very much ... miss him.”

The Leonard-Penny drama isn't the only excitement headed "Big Bang's" way, though: TV legend Bob Newhart is swinging by the series on May 2 as Professor Proton, a childhood hero of Leonard and Sheldon's (Jim Parsons).

"I specified 'Big Bang' because of the writing and the live audience," Newhart told TV Guide, noting that the last scene "sets it up for me to return a couple more times next season."

"The Big Bang Theory" airs Thursdays, 8 p.m ET on CBS.

'Project Runway: All Stars' Finale: Did Uli Herzner, Emilio Sosa Or Anthony Ryan Win? (VIDEO)

'Project Runway: All Stars' Finale: Anthony Ryan Comes Out On Top

It came down to a battle of the seasons on "Project Runway: All Stars." Uli Herzner represented Season 3, while Emilio Sosa was from Season 7 and Anthony Ryan from Season 9. Herzner wound up in third, despite getting rave reviews from the judges for her "Winter Wonderland" theme. That left the final spot between the more recent contestants.

Ryan had been impressing the judges all season long, winning a record five challenges during the course of the challenge. He unveiled his "A Fine Line" collection, and had a dress that judge Isaac Mizrahi called the best dress he's ever seen on the show. All season long it seemed that this show was his to lose, and he did not disappoint.

In the end, it looked like it was a close call between all three finalists, but Anthony Ryan came out on top with a collection that truly impressed the judges, and especially with the first dress in his line. Despite some flaws in the last piece he showed, Mizrahi said during deliberation that Ryan felt the most "fashion" to him.

There's no time to rest! Next Thursday, Season 11 of "Project Runway" kicks off with a special two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime, before settling into its usual 9 p.m. EST slot the following week.
