Alyson was Bob Saget's baby's babysitter in her teens, once went on vacation to Hawaii with his family. Two decades later they co-starred together in How I Met Your Mother.
(edit)
Alyson was invited to join the cast of the TV show In The Game (2005), but begged off, citing creative differences. She was supposed to play the best friend of the character played by Jennifer Love Hewitt, but according to a Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service interview reported January 25, 2005, she was unhappy with the diminished, trivialized role they presented her with. Alyson chose to walk away from the offer.
(edit)
Alyson and Alexis Denisof own a mansion in Sacramento, California.
(edit)
Alyson is Godmother of Joss Whedon's son Arden. Her husband Alexis Denisof is his Godfather.
(edit)
Alyson won Teen Choice Award in nomination Choice TV Sidekick and Saturn Award in nomination Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series for "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" in 2003.
(edit)
(about action figure of Willow)
Alyson: Oh look, they gave me boobs! (edit) (about ending Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Alyson: We've known for a while even though nothing has been said. I think everybody is pretty much feeling it was a good run and it's time to go. (edit) Alyson: Cat in the Hat is fine, but not during sex. (edit) (Alyson on being presumed dead)
Alyson: There was a rumor that I was dead. I happened to be off work that day and I had a beeper and the batteries had died so I was just shopping and looking round book stores. People were frantically trying to get in touch with me and people were calling hospitals and the news, people were calling my agent trying to see if it was true, and I got home and my voice mail was filled with people going, "Call me if you're ok" - and I was completely oblivious. (edit) (Alyson on filming an Angel episode with husband Alexis Denisof.)
Alyson: It was great for a change to share a week's work, rather than being on different projects. With the hours Alexis and I spend on set you can tend to pass like ships in the night. Weekends, however, are great because we can share precious time together. But when we're at home, I promise you, we certainly don't talk about vampires or suck each other's blood for tea. (edit)
