MAN:
Ladies and gentlemen,

KALEY CUOCO:
You have made every single one

of these episodes these 12 years
an absolute dream come true.

[applause and cheering]

♪ Broke into the old apartment

♪ This is where
we used to live. ♪

[buzzer sounds,
indistinct chatter]

Hi. I'm Kaley Cuoco,
and I've played Penny

for the last 12 years
on The Big Bang Theory.

And I'm Johnny Galecki.
I've played Leonard Hofstadter.

Come on, TV husband.Yes, ma'am.

Every show night, Johnny and I

have walked to this rail,

climbed ourselves up

and thanked our
studio audience

for their love and
support of this show.

But tonight,
we want to thank you,

the audience at home,

without whom none
of this would be possible.

You kept us here
for over a decade in a job

we absolutely adore.So we want to take you

behind the scenes of our very
special show, The Big Bang,

share some secrets,
some special moments,

as we say good-bye

[voice breaking]:
to a place that's been
our home for a long time.

GALECKI:
This is Stage 25
on the Warner Brothers lot

in exotic Burbank, California.

Earlier this year,
it was officially renamed

"The Big Bang Theory Stage."

I think
it's only the fifth stage

in the history of Warner
Brothers that's been named

after a show, right?That was a really special day.

That was a good day.

We've done so many
crazy set-ups.

[pinging][honking, revving]

GALECKI:
It's been a desert.

A casino, hotel rooms.Planetarium.

The wedding rooftop,
International Space Station.

Do you remember when
I asked you where

the International
Space Station was?

[laughs]

GALECKI:
I was excited to have
the Dagobah set here.

As a kid,
I was a hugeStar Wars fan.

And then to have Bob Newhart
was just incredible.

When Obi-Wan came to Luke,

he gave him all sorts

of helpful advice,

so, um, what do you got for me?

Always...

get... get a prenup.

CUOCO:
Remember our car scenes?

So cars are set up here.

MAN:
Action!

Leonard, where are you going?

Well, to work.

So, when
the live studio audience

is-is here,
we would simulate

the car scenes, and then,
record their laughter, so that

the laughter was genuine
when the show would air.

[applause and cheering]

CUOCO:
Our week starts on Wednesday.

That's our table reads.

GALECKI:
We gather around a big table

and read it aloud
for the first time.

And do you read yours right
when you get it Tuesday nights?

Immediately, yeah,

out of respect for the writers.

We're aware of the
weeks, if not months,

of hard work they
put into the script,

and we're gonna show
up and read it cold?

I read it cold every week.[laughs]

That's not true.That's 100% true.

Table reads are awesome,
'cause I laugh so hard.

I watched the news today.
Has the whole world gone mad?

[laughter]

CUOCO:
Hi.
GALECKI:
Hi.

Hi.
[laughing]:
Hi.

Oh, hi.
Hi.
Hi.

Hi.Hi.

Hi?

I just remember you and Jim

and this visual of this duo.I hope so.

Oh, really?Yeah, and I was like...

I just was so excited

to be part
of whatever was going on

with the two of you.

Should we have invited her
for lunch?
No.

We're gonna start season two
of Battlestar Galactica.

We already watched
the season two DVDs.

Not with commentary.

I remember Jim and I

getting a piece of
furniture up the stair.

And I remember
the audience laughing

at a place where we didn't...

Expect.
Expect.

I don't have this.
I don't have this!

Help me out!You don't have this.

And then, we kind of
locked eyes, like,

"Oh, this is
interesting and fun."

Like, they're on the
ride with us. They...

These characters.
The show hadn't aired yet,

and there was a fight
to these guys.

Ah, gravity--
thou art a heartless bitch.

So much has happened
in this apartment.

Amy got her tiara.[laughing]:
Yeah.

♪ Oh, it's a tiara!

A tiara. I have a tiara!

Put it on me. Put it on me.
Put it on me. Put it on me.

Put it on me.
Put it on me.
Put it on me.

You look beautiful.

Of course I do! I'm a princess,
and this is my tiara!

The Penny-Amy painting.

I wanted to get you something
you didn't have.

CUOCO:
We were laughing so hard,

it took us about
a good two minutes

till we could actually
say the dialogue.

We were just... The tears
were, like, coming down.

That painting will haunt me.

Remember the scene where we were
sitting here, very early on?

We were getting...
We were drunk.

Not drunk in real life,
but it was this...

And we got to...

We were passing the lime
back and forth.

GALECKI:
Yeah.

Aah!

Where's the lime?

[both laughing]

Okay. We're sharing.

[audience whooping]

A lot of slumber
parties with the girls.

[shrieks]:
Oh!

Pillow fight!

Ooh, all the girls reading

comic books, sitting here.

How'd you guys
finish so fast?

I don't know,
there were a lot of pictures

and one page only had
the word "Brakadoom."

W-Why was that?CUOCO:
We were trying

to understand you guys.[laughs]

Which is the theme
of the whole show.

There was a lot of action...Mm.

...and the story moved along
at a brisk pace.

It was, overall...
what's the word I'm looking for?

Stupid?So stupid.

Oh, remember
the scene

where Sheldon
sleeps over

and I have to sing
him "Soft Kitty"?

♪ Soft kitty, warm kitty

♪ Little ball of fur

♪ Happy kitty...

Um...

Sleepy kitty.

♪ Sleepy kitty... No.

Start over.

Another favorite
of mine is when

Penny breaks her

shoulder in-in the shower
and Sheldon

has to dress me.

Hey, you got to help me
get my arm into the sleeve.

Okay.

Is that my arm?

When you think of The Big Bang
Theory,you think of food.

Did you remember to ask
for the chicken with broccoli

to be diced, not shredded?Yes.

Brown rice, not white?
Yes.

Did you stop
at the Korean grocery

and get
the good hot mustard?
Yes.

Did you pick up
the low sodium soy sauce

from the market?
Thank you.
Yes.

You're welcome.

What took you so long?

It's kind of what
bonded these characters.
Yeah.

They eat. They sit down
and eat together.

Quick poll:
PS4 or Xbox One?

Raj?Uh, Xbox One.

Penny?Huh?

Leonard.PS4.

Wolowitz?Both great.

Bernadette?I like the Wii.

Thanks, Grandma.

Where do we start
with guest stars?

We've had so many
amazing people.John Ross Bowie

as Kripke. I'm making tea.

Would you like a cup?

Am I wearing a
summer frock?

No, I don't
want tea.

Brian Posehn.

H-Him and
his geology.
[chuckling]

Thanks for coming to the
Mineral and Rock Show with me.

GALECKI:
Keith Carradine as your dad.

That was a big deal for me. CUOCO: Oh.

Katey Sagal as my mom.

Miss Baranski. Oh.Laurie Metcalf.

Let's all remember what
it says in the Bible.

"He who is slow to anger

is better than the mighty."

Oh, dear woman, can you please
read another book?

When God writes one,
I will.

Adam West.Batman finally came
to your party.

Happy birthday, Sherman.

GALECKI:
James Earl Jones.

Let me guess.

You like Star Wars.

CUOCO:
Billy Bob Thornton. Does Penny live here?

May I ask why?

Well, uh, I-I met her
at my office.

She winked at me a-and, uh...

I, I-I came hoping

to initiate
a romantic relationship.

Stephen Hawking,
of course.
Oh.

You made an arithmetic mistake
on page two.

It was quite the boner.

I had to actually
say the line--

He's the wheelchair dude
who invented time.

He's right there
watching the rehearsal.Mm-hmm.

And I say this line, I just look
at him like, "I'm so sorry."

He thought it
was so funny.

But he was right there.I remember Simon

being very nervous
to do his impersonation.

I would not do your
Stephen Hawking

impression in
front of him.

I suppose that could be

considered offensive.[laughter]

Speaking of Simon's
impersonations.

Oh, his Pacino.

[gruff]:
You're playing D&D.

You're playing D&D.

This whole apartment...

...is playing D&D. Hah.

CUOCO:
Shatner and Manganiello.

Bill Gates was great.

[voice breaking]:
Ever since I was a little kid,

I've looked up
to you like... like a hero.

Would you
like a tissue?

How about a hug?

How-how about a tissue?

CUOCO:
Steve Wozniak, Elon Musk.

We had a lot of Nobel Laureates on the show.

GALECKI:
Three, at least. Buzz Aldrin.

I walked on the moon.

What have you done?

Carol Ann Susi, I have
to give special tribute to.

She played, uh,
the voice of Howard's mom.

[bang]MRS. WOLOWITZ:
Howard,

I'm home!

MRS. WOLOWITZ:
Sheldon!

MRS. WOLOWITZ:
Does he like the pancakes?

He didn't try them yet!

Yes, Mrs. Wolowitz.

Although we never saw her,

she was a big, big part
of the show.

Well, I remember
when word came down

that she had passed,
we gathered around here,

everybody, and just told stories
about Carol Ann...

I mean, she-- Yeah.

...and cried a bit
and laughed a lot.

And then, uh, executive
producer Steve Molaro and I

went to Props and asked them
to print up this photo of her.

So she's been in every...

Every episode.Every episode.

Everyone loved her so much.

All right, come on in.
So, here we are in the most

epic wardrobe room,
I think, ever.

Everyone has their own wall.

We got Raj over here.

All his sweater vests.

We got Leonard on this side.

I think this robe might be
one of the most

famous robes in television.GALECKI:
It's that

and Archie Bunker's. Yeah.CUOCO: Leonard's robe.

Star Trek? My chain mail.

Star Trek. I got it right.

[laughing]:
Well done.

I know Mr. Data isn't
supposed to smile,

but here it comes.

Come on, guys.
Let's do this.

Yeah, I'm sweating
my bald cap off.

[beatboxing]

There-- Who was in that?
Raj.
Raj.

For Halloween. Raj was Aquaman.

GALECKI:
Those are the Flashes, right?

Oh, my gosh.

See, this is why I wanted

to have a costume meeting.

We all have other costumes.
We can change.

Or we could walk right behind
each other all night.

It'll look like one person
going really fast.

Oh, that was my cat outfit
when I first kissed you.

Halloween.
Oh, yeah.

The most iconic of all time

are Wolowitz's belt buckles.

It's a light saber
belt buckle.

[imitates light saber whoosh]

[chuckles] Wow.

I have one, too.

Check it out.

You can wear yours,
and we can have

little sword fights
whenever we want.

[making whooshing sounds]

Sheldon's zombie, when he
popped up from the couch.

[shouting]

My Valentine's Day outfit.

Is that mine or yours?That was-- [laughs]

BOTH:
Happy Valentine's Day!

[blowing noisemaker]

That's, obviously,
Amy's incredible dress

from their wedding.

[gasps]
Wow! You look like
a pile of swans.

Amy, do you take Sheldon
for your lawful wedded husband?

I do.

[crying]:
And, Sheldon, same thing.

Over here, the fencing outfit.

I was very excited by...

'Cause I always wanted
to take a fencing lesson.

One, two, three.

Switch again.
One, two, three.

[phone chiming]
Ehh!

Excuse me.

Can I call you back?

No, I'm-I'm teaching a class.

What about Bernadette?
[laughs]Oh, from the pageant, right?

Yes.
Yeah.

I'm Bernadette Maryann
Rostenkowski

from Yorba Linda, California!

Remember the Bavarian pretzel?

Bavarian pretzel.Who could forget?

Ich bin einBavarian.

Und ich bin ein a pretzel.

We're here in the prop room
on the stage.

Uh, this is
the Internet kissing...

We made some memories in here....that Wolowitz came up with

in a very disturbing scene.

Whoa! You just bit my tongue!

I, like, nibbled.
I was being playful.

Why do you have to
make everything weird?

Sorry.

Better?

Oh, yeah.

That's the ring...

CUOCO: Lord of the Rings
ring.

GALECKI:
...that we all held.

Ah.

Okay, everybody, and plié.

And relevé.

Worst toy invention ever.[laughing]

Remote control
Stephen Hawking!

The gift Penny gave
to you and Sheldon, right?Mm-hmm.

Ta-da!

[gasps]
A vintage, mint, in-box

1975 Mego Star Trektransporter,

with real transporter action.
Hot darn!

And I got you
a transporter, too!

Awesome!

That was awesome.We had a lot of
robots on the show.

We had Shelbot. Yeah.Bazinga!

[horns blaring]

BattleBots.
Yeah.

No, I think I'm just gonna

stay in tonight and do laundry.

[screaming]

Robot Arm Wolowitz.

Oh, yeah,

just like a real hand.

You slipped and fell
into a robot hand?

Yes.

Penis-first?

Well, I think the most
memorable prop that we have

in here comes from season two.

The famous napkin

that Penny gives to Sheldon

she has Leonard Nimoy sign
for him as a gift.

Sheldon freaks out
and claims that

he now has Leonard Nimoy's DNA.

Sorry the napkin's dirty.
He wiped his mouth with it.

All I need is a healthy ovum,

and I can grow
my own Leonard Nimoy!

[audience laughing, applauding]

And which leads to one
of my favorite moments

that Shenny had
over the course of the show,

where he comes out and gives her, like, ten gifts,

and then he hugs her.

Entrée.Comic Book store.

Yep.
How many scenes have
you had in here?

Oh, a lot more than you.

No, you were here for
"Scavenger Hunt."

I've been in here
a bunch, yes.

One of my favorite episodes.
I always say it.

Melissa trying to hit me...Punch you.

...in a way that looked
realistic at all."Punch you."

Penny, I just wanted
to say good luck,

and I hope there's
no hard feelings.Hey, Romeo!

repair your relationship
on your own time!

The great Kevin Sussman.

What do you want for it?

Well, it's hard to put a price
on something

that's a copy of something
that was on pay cable.

I, like, adore him.He is the comic book store.

[speaking Klingon]

Did that guy just say,
"revenge is a dish

best served cold" in Klingon?

I believe so.

What is wrong with him?

Everyone has a different theory.

It's not a dress-up party?

No.

Was it ever a dress-up party?

No.

Howard, didn't you tell me
it was a dress-up party?

Yeah.
[laughs]

Footprints on the Moon
made their debut.

♪ Thor and Dr. Jones

♪ Thor and Dr. Jones

BOTH:
♪ Thor and Dr. Jones

♪ One plays with lightning

♪ The other plays with bones.

Come on.You won't believe this.

When we have guests come,
they immediately want to see

what's down here.
This is it.

A lot of chewed gum here.Yeah.
[laughs]

It's kind of like,
how dogs mark trees,

actors mark stages this way
with just chewed gum.Yeah.

That's not true.
We're just disgusting.

We're disgusting.

How about "bazinga"?

Bazinga.

Bazinga.

Bazinga.

Jim, you guys-- They complained
about that for days.I hate to sound spoiled,

but we got out of that,
and we were just...

coated in dirt.
Filth.

Yeah. They washed the balls
the next day.

That's key to being on set.You got to wash the balls.

Bazinga.
[laughs]

DIRECTOR:
And that's a cut.

[cheers and applause]

[man shouting indistinctly]

♪

It's been an honor
and joy for this cast

to perform for you guys
for 12 years.

Thank you so much.

[cheering and applause]

Well, we've come to the end.

I don't really want
to say good-bye.

[laughs]

What you see here is not
all that goes on.

And this crew has really helped make this show what it is.

GALECKI: Honestly,
it could not be possible

without the 150-so
crew and staff

that work incredibly hard
and get, much,

much too little credit for it.

We thank you very, very much
for all your hard work.

I really want to sit
in that seat.

Penny...
Yeah?

That's where I sit.

Sit next to me.

No, I sit there.

What's the difference?

What's the difference?Here we go.

In the winter, that seat is
close enough to the radiator

to remain warm,
and yet not so close

as to cause perspiration.

In the summer,
it's directly in the path

of a cross-breeze, created by
opening windows there and there.

It faces the television
at an angle that is

neither direct, thus
discouraging conversation,

nor so far wide
as to create

a parallax distortion.

I could go on, but I think
I've made my point.

Do it. Do it.
He's not around.
All right.

Nope. Can't do it.[laughs]

No.
