Clint is Virginia Mosby's second husband and Ted and Heather Mosby's step father.

Storyline[]

In Home Wreckers​, Ted is stunned when his mother, Virginia, and her long-time boyfriend Clint announce they are getting married. Clint tells Ted his mother is a "very, very erotic woman"; despite Clint's bizarre comments, Virginia was tremendously excited that someone "so cool" picked her. Ted hoped he might meet his future wife at their wedding. As a gift, Clint gave Ted a nude painting of himself and Virginia.

At the reception, Ted cannot come to terms with the fact that his mother is getting married a second time before he has even once, and after Clint finishes singing a graphic, highly inappropriate song which causes Ted to black out from the shock and awkwardness, Ted leaves without giving his toast.

Later, Ted goes to see his mother and Clint, and gives them the toast he had meant to give earlier.

A year later, after unsuccessfully inviting Virginia to a Weird Al concert and offering to fly her out in Noretta, Ted asks her if Clint is there, wanting to invite him as well. Virginia looks around worryingly and says no.

After marrying Virginia, Clint made her and Ted get rid of everything that reminds him of the commercialization of Christmas in their house. He also dresses up as Santa on Christmas, but plays him as a woman to protest gender stereotypes, but he still keeps the beard. (Mentioned by Ted in Symphony of Illumination)

In The Lighthouse, Marshall and Daphne stop overnight at Mrs. Mosby's house in Cleveland to wait out a storm. Clint notices the tension between them and tries to resolve it. They decline and set off again, but they soon bicker even worse than before. Marshall states that maybe Clint was right, causing him to reveal himself, as he had stowed away in hopes they would eventually take his advice. He tries to help them, but only worsens matters worse, after they both make fun of his efforts, he snaps and starts yelling, destroying his guitar with his bare hands. He demands they pull over so he can meditate and regain his calm. After Daphne tells Marshall that he'll never get any respect until he starts taking charge, Marshall proceeds to drive off without Clint.
