about the Big Bang Theory why are you

we publish new videos every day so be
sure to subscribe for more great content
for this list we’re taking a look at
interesting trivia regarding this
long-running comedy series number 10 it
originally had a different title it’s no
secret that the Big Bang Theory is named
after the cosmological model for our
universe before settling on this title
however the show was initially going to
be called Lenny penny and Kenny while
penny ultimately stuck around
Lenny evolved into Leonard and Kenny
went on to become Sheldon hi these
changes were probably for the best
especially since the original title
doesn’t really tie into the show science
theme or nerdy sense of humor actually
Lenny penny and Kenny sounds like a
generic sitcom that’s trying to be the
next Three’s Company and we all know how
frustrating Sheldon can get when he
comes and knocks on your door penny
penny number nine we still don’t know
Penny’s last name as of 2017 audiences
have known penny for 10 years but over
200 episodes later and they still do not
know her full name after tying the knot
with Leonard at the beginning of season
9 penny adopted the surname Hofstadter
[Applause]
yet her maiden name has never been
spoken throughout the show’s lengthy run
co-creator Bill Prady has said that
penny surname will come out of the bag
at some point executive producer Steve
Millar Oh on the other hand insists that
her last name will forever be a giant
question mark in other words sheldon
could prove the string theory before we
hear Penny’s full name does it affect me
no and suffer in silence number eight
Mayim Bialik has a ph.d besides getting
you apart on the Big Bang Theory
I was also made these spokes Mercer the
spokesperson of Texas Instruments
calculators at the end of season three
actress Mayim Bialik entered the
equation as Amy Farrah Fowler given the
instant chemistry with Sheldon it wasn’t
long until Bialik became a series
regular you guys took me in and made me
feel loved long before that though
Bialik herself was actually referenced
in a season 1 episode listing off
potential candidates for a physics Bowl
Raj suggests the girl from TVs blossom
noting that she has a PhD in
neuroscience you know is apparently very
smart is the girl who played TVs blossom
this of course is Mayim Bialik who broke
out into stardom playing blossom Ruby
Russo and later went on to become a
neuroscientist interestingly enough the
girl from The Wonder Years would also
eventually pop up in the series how do
you do Rajesh Ramayan Koothrappali call
me Raj the mysterious subcontinent of
India India you know India dog
millionaire I’m a Slumdog astrophysicist
number seven melissa rauch based
Bernadette’s voice on a family member I
was so angry I had to mash up benadryl
in his ice cream to get him to fall
asleep when actress melissa rauch made
her debut on the show back in season
three she noticeably didn’t have the
cute high-pitched voice Bernadette
Rostenkowski has become iconic for rauch
would evolve and perfect Bernadette’s
voice over time deriving inspiration
from a family member
Bernadette ma Burt your mother
at a PaleyFest panel rauch mentioned
that Bernadette’s voice is totally very
similar to her mother’s butt quote
without the jersey perhaps this is
fitting seeing is how Bernadette and
Howard really started to hit it off
after swapping stories about their
overbearing mothers I know how you feel
my mother makes me crazy number six the
show has a science advisor to consult on
scripts equations someone’s tampered
with my equations sure seeing is how the
cast of characters includes two
physicists an engineer an astrophysicist
a neuroscientist and a microbiologist
the writers need to take extra
precautions to make sure this show is
scientifically accurate enter David
Saltzburg that is renormalization a
physics and astronomy professor at the
university of california Saltzburg has
been a science consultant for the Big
Bang Theory from the very beginning if
we were gonna write about geniuses we
better damn well have one around his
duties involved checking each script
pointing out any errors and adding
scientific information I’m actually a
particle physicist by training but
lately I’ve been lured a little more
into astrophysics follow me and those
complicated equations you see on the
whiteboards he’s responsible for
overseeing those as well sheldon cooper
may have an IQ of 187 but Saltzburg is
the real genius
[Music]
number five an executive producers
co-worker inspired Rajas selective
mutism are you talking to me
is there another Benny Hill well Raj has
never exactly been smooth with the
ladies at least he can maintain a
conversation with them now Raj struggled
with selective mutism for the first six
seasons generally requiring alcohol to
speak in the presence of women he’s not
related to the idea for this character
trait stemmed from the show’s co-creator
and executive producer bill Preity
hey at least I can talk to women without
being drunk excuse me I have selective
mutism a recognized medical disorder
you’re just a douche prior to the show
he worked for the small computer company
as a programmer and had a colleague who
liked Raj could not talk to women
without being inebriated as for actor
Kunal Nayyar he obviously has no problem
talking to the opposite sex he’s married
to former Miss India naked Kapoor number
4 penny
wasn’t in the original pilot it’s hard
to believe but penny was nowhere to be
found in the original pilot instead
Leonard and Sheldon crossed paths with a
hard-boiled woman named Katey played by
Amanda Walsh after breaking up with her
boyfriend
Katie moves in with the dorky duo test
audiences didn’t respond well to Katy
however and the network found the pilot
underwhelming on the whole still the
creators knew they had struck gold with
actors Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons so
they went back and retooled several
aspects most notably switching out Katie
with penny the new pilot was
subsequently picked up and the rest is
history
guess I’m your new neighbor penny number
three Jim Parsons has never seen Star
Trek captain I’m getting an unusual
reading Sheldon Cooper is about as
hardcore as trekkers get he’s dressed up
as Star Trek characters on numerous
occasions and practically had a meltdown
after attaining some of Leonard Nimoy’s
DNA
plus he knows next-gen actors levar
burton and wil wheaton personally you
betrayed me Wil Wheaton now I have my
revenge but ironically actor Jim Parsons
claims to have never even seen an
episode of Star Trek rather than growing
up with the voyages of the Starship
Enterprise
Parsons has always been more of a sports
guy when the cameras are rolling though
Parsons still manages to speak fluent
Klingon demonstrating his incredible
versatility as an actor number two the
show got sued for soft kitty kitty kitty
[Music]
one of the show’s most famous running
gags soft kitty is a song that’s known
to soothe Sheldon when he’s feeling sick
or depressed the song originated from a
Polish lullaby as was a song called warm
Kitty written by Edith Newlin in 2015
Newlands daughters brought a copyright
lawsuit against the companies attached
to the show claiming that Willis music
had published the rhyme in a 1937
songbook in 2017 the lawsuit was
dismissed on the grounds that Newlands
heirs had failed to prove that they
owned a valid copyright on their
mother’s work that must have made Chuck
Lorre a happy kitty so before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions trying to use a Jedi
mind trick to control Stephen Hawking
what’s your formula for the corner what
number one bazinga was inspired by
real-life practical jokes
bazinga bazinga has become such a
popular term that it even inspired the
name of a Brazilian bee species known as
u glossa bazinga as for where Sheldon’s
catchphrase comes from we have writers
Stephen angle to thank for that
bazinga angle would say bazinga whenever
he played a prank on another writer like
when he gave Bill Prady a scooped-out
grapefruit and yelled the immortal punch
line when Preity tried to eat it bazinga
later popped up during the show’s season
2 finale although it wasn’t originally
scripted and was instead inserted at the
last minute during filming although it
took two seasons to arrive bazinga is
now practically synonymous with the Big
Bang Theory and I wish you nothing but
happiness bazinga I don’t do you agree
