Joe Manganiello is set to reprise his role as Marshall’s law school friend, Brad, in two episodes of How I Met Your Mother next month, and EW has our first look at Joe’s return. Hmmm…sweats and a belly? Something tells me Brad isn’t doing so great!

Joe’s first episode is November 12, followed by another guest star appearance on November 19. How I Met Your Mother airs Mondays on CBS.
