Much like Cobie Smulders’ announcment of William Zabka’s return, James Van Der Beek tweeted the news of his return to the comedy on Friday afternoon.  He also posted a photo of the episode’s script on Instagram (see below).

Like many Americans, I'm working 2 jobs today. Luckily, neither one requires actual work 😉 #FWBL #HIMYM http://t.co/YdIzsffDHX

Van Der Beek previously appeared on How I Met Your Mother as Robin’s loser, lame musician, ex-boyfriend Simon in “Sandcastles in the Sand” and last season’s Robin Daggers episode, “P.S. I Love You.”

Will he be bringing trouble for Robin and Barney, pre-wedding?  Or appearing in flashbacks…or dare I ask, flash forwards?
