No one could possibly be more sad about the cancellation of How I Met Your Mother than Billy Eichner. He and Neil Patrick Harris hit the streets to ask New Yorkers if they feel nearly as distraught over it. (Hint: They don't)

Neil Patrick Harris made a guest appearance on Monday night's episode of Billy on the Street to console host Billy Eichner over the cancellation of Harris's show, How I Met Your Mother. Eichner has some strong feelings on the topic. "You're gonna go do a fancy Broadway show and you're gonna leave me with fucking Mike and Molly? What am I supposed to watch now, The Crazy Ones? I need characters to root for!"

Watch as Eichner and Harris ask unsuspecting strangers how they feel about the show's cancellation. As it turns out, some New Yorkers are excited to meet NPH and some couldn't care less.
