"The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons released the following statement:
“There’s something about having finished season six and being so entrenched in this work now. We’re in such a good spot with it and our audience, things have gone so well. Because of all that an how long we’ve been on, there’s something even more sweet about it; it feels even more of an honor getting to go. Every year that goes by there are more shows to choose from and it seems that our odds would go down exponentially to be included.”
