It's almost time. In the season 8 finale of "How I Met Your Mother," fans finally got to meet the coveted Mother. After years and years of speculation, the show unveiled its biggest secret. While we might have met the mother, we have yet to get to know who she really is. In the upcoming ninth and final season, fans will get their chance to do just that. She'll be introduced to each character one by one. Each episode will cater to one specific character and how he or she meets and interacts with her. There's plenty to look forward to as the gang gears up for the new season, and the Mother isn't the only one in the "How I Met Your Mother" limelight.

In recent news, fans learned that Wayne Brady, who plays Barney's brother James, will appear on the show in recurring role for season 9. To add a bit more flavor to the exciting news, Brady told fans a bit of what they can expect from him.

"My first appearance of the season will involve me singing a little Kenny Rogers-and-Dolly Parton tune, and it's going to be really funny," he told TV Line.

James was last seen in a 2011 episode, but his return does not come as a surprise. Since the upcoming season takes place over Barney's wedding weekend, it makes perfect sense that his brother would be in attendance.

And for fans who want more Wayne Brady, he will star in The CW's revival of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

So prepare yourself for a wild and crazy trip to one of the most entertaining weddings you'll ever witness. The "How I Met Your Mother" finale season will be chock full of laughs, tears and zany antics. Get ready.

"How I Met Your Mother" will return to CBS on September 23.
