Before Simon Helberg was an Aerospace Engineer on The Big Bang Theory, he was a computer scientist for HP. He looks the same now as he did when he was 24 in that 2005 commercial.

When you think of The Big Bang Theory, you think of Kaley Cuoco as Penny. However, she told Entertainment Tonight it almost did not happen. That is because the show’s creator Chuck Lorre thought she was too young for the part.
Whoever they hired was not the right fit, so they brought her back in and the rest is Hollywood history. Good thing it did not work out for the other Penny because I cannot imagine anyone else in the role who is as perfect as her.
Friday nights on ABC just got weird for me because I will never be able to watch American Housewife’s Ali Wong and Fresh Off the Boat’s Randall Park the same. Thanks to their new movie Always Be My Maybe where they play childhood friends who might have a second chance of love. Until Keanu Reeves comes between them.
Now having said that I will be weirded out by the two back-to-back sitcom stars working in a Rom-Com together does not mean I do not want to see it. It makes me want to see it even more. Therefore, I cannot wait to see it when it streams on Netflix May 31st. I will just have to get past my issue.
Seriously though, I am happy that Netflix is giving Asians a movie to be the spotlight in. Take that Constance Wu. It is not about her, it is about her co-star. I am glad he is getting a project that will really show off his comedic brilliance. He can play so many different roles and I hope people start to see that about him. And Wong too.
The Who have a very distinctive sound that is hard to replicate. Yet, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots decided to try to do just that with The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again using classroom instruments on The Tonight Show yesterday. Thankfully they had Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend to help them out. You know what, I think it migth be even better than the 1971 original.
Plus, I loved to see The Roots really let go. I never saw them break free like that before. Have you? The best part comes at the end when Townsend was smashing his plastic guitar and it broke. Even with toy instruments, you can still go full Rock star!

Yesterday, Bruce Willis was asked to throw the first pitch at the Phillies game and let’s say it did not go well. The baseball bounced before home plate and the catcher caught the ball after the bounce. The fans from Philadelphia were so supportive, they booed him. Oh wait, that is not supportive, but the right reaction. I mean his ball did not go the whole nine yards! On a positive note, at least we know the action star will not be moonlighting as a baseball player.
