Cristin Milioti, who plays the mother on "How I Met Your Mother," speaks with Seth Meyers about her exciting year on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday (March 26) in New York City. The actress was on the Broadway show "Once" this year, as well as starring in "The Wolf of Wall Street" as Leonardo DiCaprio's first wife, and then landed the coveted role of the Mother on the long time running television show HIMYM.

The 28-year-old How I Met Your Mother actress revealed that she has always been into theatre, but she kind of fell into it because "the theater kids were the only ones who were nice to me." She's "always been musical." "I don't understand people who aren't into music," Milioti said, "I'm always listening ot music."

"You learned piano for a Broadway Show," Meyers said. Milioti had 2 weeks to learn piano. "It wasn't good," she admits. But after she got the part, she had 4 weeks to hone her skills, during which she played 8 hours a day. She also plays ukelele because "there were like eight ukeleles on the 'Once' set."

Milioti also sent in a tape for SNL, a show that Seth just recently left to do Late Night!

"You were in 'Wolf of Wall Street,' married to Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie, is that like a dream come true? Is he one of your dream guys?" Meyers asked.

"No," Milioti said, "I'm more of a Jim Carrey as Riddler [girl]."

Last night's episode also featured Justified's Timothy Olyphant and singer Jack Antonoff with his new project Bleachers.

The series finale of How I Met Your Mother, after running for nine seasons, airs next week on March 31.
