The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson Season 6 Episode 168 The cast of The Big Bang Theory
- September 22, 2010
In this episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Craig welcomes a very special group of guests – the cast of the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Fans of the show will be excited to see the likes of Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, and Kunal Nayyar all gathered together for a lively chat with Craig.
From the very beginning of the episode, it's clear that the mood is jovial, with Craig and the cast members all joking and laughing with one another. As the conversation goes on, viewers will get to hear about all sorts of interesting tidbits about the show, from behind-the-scenes antics to fun stories about filming certain scenes.
One of the first topics of discussion is the origin of the show's now-ubiquitous "Bazinga!" catchphrase. As many fans will know, this word was first uttered by Sheldon (Jim Parsons) in the second season of the show, and has since become a favorite among viewers. Craig asks the cast members to explain how the word came about, and they take turns telling the story of how it was written into the script as a sort of practical joke on Jim. According to the cast, Jim didn't quite understand the joke at first, but eventually caught on and the rest is history.
Another highlight of the episode is getting to hear from each of the cast members about their favorite episodes or scenes from the show's run. Simon Helberg (who plays Howard) talks about filming one particularly challenging scene in which his character has to simulate zero gravity – a feat which required some tricky wire work and a lot of practice. Kunal Nayyar (who plays Raj) tells a heartwarming story about shooting a scene in which he gets to dance with a girl, something his character had previously been unable to do due to his social anxiety. And of course, Craig himself chimes in with his own favorite moment from the show – although you'll have to tune in to find out what it is!
As the conversation goes on, Craig and the cast members also take time to reflect on the show's impact on their lives and careers. Many of the actors credit The Big Bang Theory with launching them into the spotlight, and talk about how grateful they are for the opportunities it has provided them. On a more personal level, Kaley Cuoco (who plays Penny) gets emotional as she talks about how the show has brought her closer to her co-stars, calling them "my family".
All in all, this episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a must-watch for fans of The Big Bang Theory, as well as anyone who loves a good celebrity chat. With a mix of lighthearted banter and heartfelt moments, it's a warm and engaging conversation that will leave viewers feeling like they've gotten to know the cast members a little bit better.
