Yesterday, Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch taped their final episode of The Big Bang Theory. This morning they made their mark on Hollywood permanent. They left their handprints and signatures in cement outside of the TCL Chinese Theatre.
Cuoco described the honor as, “Grateful for the endless dream that is the @bigbangtheory_cbs 💥 🖊.” Her TV husband Jonny Galecki also kept it simple with, “A true honor.”
The actresses who joined the sitcom, later on, wrote a little more. Rauch wrote, “As if being a part of the @bigbangtheory_cbs wasn’t enough of an honor of a lifetime…getting to share this moment at #thechinesetheater with these wonderful friends today was truly incredible.” Bialick got sentimental with, “I grew up walking distance from the theater where today my mom, my sons, and their dad watched me put my hands in cement. It’s completely surreal and I don’t think I even understand how profound this is yet.”
The series finale airs on May 16th, their handprints will be their forever.

During Saturday’s matinee of The Boys in the Band, Jim Parsons fell and fractured his foot. He was not able to do the next couple of performances and an understudy had to fill in. You know the saying, “The show must go on”? Well, it did!
His Big Bang Theory nemesis went the show yesterday and John Ross Bowie shared a photo of the injured actor. The Speechless star wrote, “This is my friend Jim. Jim has a fractured foot. That did not stop Jim from going on in a boot for this evening‘s performance of The Boys In The Band. His work ethic and professionalism Always astonish me, but tonight was something else.” Then he added, “His performance is funny, mean, tragic and human. Also, I have never heard him curse so much. Honorable mention – the rest of the cast, each of whom have shining moments under the direction of Joe Mantello.
Thanks for a great evening of theater, Jim.”
Bowie also shared a sign from the Broadway theater that said Parsons is not in pain. And neither are the audience members because Sheldon Cooper’s TV brother Jerry O’Connell also praised the show and that was before he did it with a broken tootsie. If you are in NYC, go see it before it closes on August 11th.
Yesterday, while you, me and millions of other people tuned in to see Sheldon get married to Amy on The Big Bang Theory, neither Jim Parsons nor his TV brother Jerry O’Connell were watching it. What were Sheldon and Georgie Cooper doing that was so important that they would miss their own/brother’s wedding?
Parsons is on the other side of the country starring in The Boys in the Band with Matt Bomer, Zachary Quinto and Andrew Rannells for the next couple of months; and O’Connell went to see his little TV brother in the Broadway play that is being produced by Ryan Murphy.
When O’Connell got out of the show, he wrote, “OVERWHELMED by my baby brother @therealjimparsons in @boysbandbway. Go see this play this summer. Wow. Wow. Just wow. I LOVE YOU. 5 points.”
Who knew that by playing brothers, you actually become like brothers? Look how gosh darn precious they are together? Maybe the producers will bring him back on TBBT more often? Sheldon can use a lot more brotherly advice, now that Young Sheldon revealed that Shamy will have kids in the future. What did you think of that reveal?
Last week, when Jim Parsons was on Watch What Happens Live, someone wanted to know if he plans on marrying his boyfriend of 14 years. With a little stutter, he told Andy Cohen, “Probably.” Knowing in the back of his mind that on Saturday Todd Spiewak and him were going to make their love official at the Rainbow Room in NYC according to Page Six.
Parsons also told the Bravo host that they met on a blind date and the friends who set them made it a double date. Because their friends were there, it made it all very comfortable. So comfortable that they were planning their second date by the end of their first one. No word if the matchmakers were at the ceremony but they should’ve been the best men.
The Big Bang Theory star also told Cohen that when they first started dating, his now husband was the bread winner and supported him. Then after a few years, he landed a role that was relief to both of them. That dynamic, he says also helped to make their relationship stronger.
Here’s to them having a very happy marriage that lasts as long as they have been dating and beyond.
UPDATE: Here is the first photo of the happy couple as Mr & Mr!
Ever since The Big Bang Theory started, there has been a mystery about the show. What is behind those broken elevator doors? That mystery is no longer a secret because Jim Parsons peeled open the doors and showed us what is behind them. A real looking elevator shaft.
Now if only someone could tell us, why the three of them are still living in a building with a broken lift for almost 10 years because that is what I really want to know. I mean what manager doesn’t fix a broken elevator after all of this time. I can’t see anyone wanting to rent an apartment there with those conditions. Would you?
