The series begins with Penny (Cuoco) moving into an apartment across the hall to two physicists Sheldon (Parsons) and Leonard (Galecki) and building a friendship with them and their friends.Whilst at the beginning Penny's main purpose on the show was the "cute girl" with whom all the nerds tried to flirt awkwardly, she eventually became a more developed character receiving her own friendship group with Bernadette (<keyword id="12166987" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="melissa-rauch" source="Orion">Melissa Rauch</keyword>) and Amy (<keyword id="11931513" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="mayim-bialik" source="Orion">Mayim Bialik</keyword>).<div type="image" title="big bang theory" height="450" width="600" msid="86480853" hostid="261"></div>Cuoco talked to W Magazine about the evolution of her character."I started 'Big Bang' at 21 years old," She began. "I was the cute girl next door to the nerds. It was all about booty shorts, Juicy Couture zip-ups. And as the years went on - Penny grows up, Kaley grows up - all of a sudden it's like, 'Can I have a long sleeve shirt? How about a slack? How about a loafer? I never wanna see that high heel again!'"The 35-year-old actress continued: "I had every colour of the Uggs - Uggs with shorts, those were the days! I don't think it was hard to wear that stuff and be funny, I think. I love being funny no matter what. I think even that was kind of self-deprecating.""And also that was so long ago," Cuoco added. "When I think about how many years ago that was, it was a different time. Also, by the way, at 21 I was hot. I wanted to show that stuff off. You would not catch me dead in a sexy cat costume now! I just had a litter of kittens - never doing that again."In June, Cuoco told <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/kaley-cuoco-jean-smart-lena-waithe-comedy-actress-roundtable-1234971635/">The Hollywood Reporter</a> that she would have played Penny for "20 years" if <a href="https://www.insider.com/kaley-cuoco-wanted-to-keep-playing-penny-big-bang-theory-2021-6">the show hadn't ended in 2019</a>.After "Big Bang Theory" Cuoco was the star in two successful series "Harley Quinn" and "The Flight Attendant."

Peter Parker was in high school in the 2002 and 2012 films with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, respectively. Tom Holland has played a younger high school student in the more recent 2017 and 2019 films.<div type="image" title="tobey maguire andrew garfield spider man" height="900" width="1200" msid="82054588" hostid="261"></div>"I'm past the young ingenue character, but I still think there might be a place for me," Bialik said.

My voice is a much deeper register, so it would be maybe a later-in-life episode.""I happen to be very athletic and many people have said there's a superhero in you, even if it's like a comedy superhero," Bialik added, saying maybe it will happen one day. "So, you never know."Bialik's life is pretty busy right now, between "Call Me Kat" and <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-mayim-bialik-became-jeopardy-guest-host-2021-4">guest-hosting "Jeopardy!" for 10 episodes</a> that will start airing at the end of May.Until DC or Marvel calls, Bialik says she's OK with being a hero in her own household."I think I'm my own kind of superhero except the kind that wears pajamas around the house and cleans the toilet," Bialik joked. "So as long as my kids still think I'm a superhero for making dinner and doing that, I think I'm pretty good."

Given that she'd spent over a decade shooting 12 seasons of the fan-beloved show, Cuoco said it was difficult to imagine her next steps. "When I started freaking out about the comparisons there would be or what my next project would be, I realized you can't compare anything to 'Big Bang,'" she said, adding, "As its own entity, I'll never have that again."Cuoco continued, "I won't have that cast again, the money, the schedule, the 12 years... I mean, all of it was insane."Not only were the show's original cast members - Jim Parsons, Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Kunal Nayyar, and Simon Helberg - a tight-knit bunch, but they were also some of the highest-earning talents on <keyword id="6357922" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Television">television</keyword>. In 2018, Forbes reported that Cuoco was the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/highest-paid-tv-actresses-in-the-world-sofia-vergara-ellen-pompeo-2018-10">second-highest-paid TV actress of the year</a>, earning $24.5 million pretax between June 1, 2017 and June 1, 2018. That ranking was filed after the actress, along with the four other original cast members, each took a $100,000 pay cut in 2017 so that Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik could earn more, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2017/tv/news/the-big-bang-theory-contract-mayim-bialik-melissa-rauch-1201999243/">Variety</a>. Aware that many people would inevitably size up her future work to the popular sitcom, Cuoco said she made a decision to pursue projects for herself. "I was like, OK, if I can accept that nothing will compare to that, I can't control what other people are gonna say about me, but I knew my next project was gonna be for me and I was gonna leave that in its own place," she said.Following the series finale of "The Big Bang Theory," Cuoco executive produced and starred in the HBO Max series "Flight Attendant."Her on-screen performance <a href="https://www.insider.com/kaley-cuoco-flight-attendant-golden-globes-nomination-2021-2">scored the actress her first Golden Globe nomination</a>, which was in the category of best actress in a musical or comedy.Last month, Cuoco detailed the day she found out that "The Big Bang Theory" was ending during an interview with <a href="https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/kaley-cuoco-the-big-bang-theory-ending-1234913434/">Variety's Kate Arthur</a>. She recalled being called to cocreator Chuck Lorre's office and assumed the meeting was about season 13. However, Parsons was there to break the news that he couldn't continue on the show, leaving Cuoco "shocked." Even though the actress said she "really did" want to keep filming "The Big Bang Theory," she respected her costar's decision."We're all for one, one for all. And we're not going to do this without the whole team," she said, adding, "That was the one thing we all agreed on - we came in together, we go out together."

Kaley Cuoco says she was convinced 'The Big Bang Theory' creator wrote in more sex scenes to mess with her and costar Johnny Galecki after they broke up

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image">Reuters"The Big Bang Theory" stars Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, and Johnny Galecki just tripled their salaries at CBS. </div></div></div>"The Big Bang Theory" stars Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, and Jim Parsons had a pretty good weekend.
After <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/big-bang-theory-contract-negotiations-2014-7" target="_blank">months of negotiations</a>, the trio finally banged out new, three-year deals on Sunday that will triple their current $350,000 an episode salary.
Now, the CBS stars will be raking in <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2014/08/big-bang-theory-stars-jim-parsons-johnny-galecki-kaley-cuoco-close-big-new-deals/" target="_blank">$1 million paychecks per episode</a> for 72 episodes in the upcoming seasons 8-10.
Deadline's Nellie Andreeva, who first <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2014/08/big-bang-theory-stars-jim-parsons-johnny-galecki-kaley-cuoco-close-big-new-deals/" target="_blank">broke the news</a>, also reports the cast will benefit in other ways:
"I also hear that the complex deals go well beyond per-episode fees and also include larger pieces of the show, signing bonuses, production deals and advances towards the back-end - perks associated with talent deals on shows as big as Big Bang. In addition to tripling their most recent salaries of $350,000 an episode, I hear Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco also quadrupled their previous ownership on the show, which has gone up from .25 point to more than a point...
All in, I hear Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco are poised to make at least $90 million dollars each over the lives of the deals ... WBTV still is expected to clear $1 billion in profits, with some projecting that Big Bang could contribute to Time Warner's bottom line twice that over its lifespan."
Last fall, co-stars Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik signed on for Season 8 with <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/09/big-bang-theory-mayim-bialik-melissa-rauch-pay-raises/" target="_blank">"</a><a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/09/big-bang-theory-mayim-bialik-melissa-rauch-pay-raises/" target="_blank">in the neighborhood of $60,000"</a> per episode paychecks, a bump from their previous $20,000-$30,000 range per episode. 
Original cast members Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, who currently make more than $100,000 an episode, are the only two who have yet to hammer out deals before Wednesday's table read.
"The Big Bang Theory" is slated to premiere on CBS on Sept. 22.

'Big Bang Theory' Cast Sign Huge New $90 Million Salary Deals

"The <keyword id="506666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Big-Bang-theory">Big Bang Theory</keyword>" writers and cast packed a few delightfully nerdy surprises at Comic-Con, including a pre-taped recording of <keyword id="61369" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Stephen-Hawking">Stephen Hawking</keyword> reciting the show's theme song.
Hawking, of course, has been referenced numerous times on the CBS series, and in one episode befriended main character Sheldon (Jim Parsons) via game "Words With Friends."
"When I'm not playing Words With Friends with Sheldon, I like to think about the universe," Hawking said from a remote office decorated with a "Big Bang Theory" banner and movie poster for "Hawking."
"Many <keyword id="6360040" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="people">people</keyword> find the universe confusing — it's not. For example, the Big Bang Theory, here it is in 17 words."
Watch the clip:

And here's the original version of the theme song:

Previously, Hawkings made a fifth season cameo as his inimitable, clever self.

Host Conan O'Brien opened the show with a pre-recorded segment where he met with MTV brass to figure out an opening gag that would work for today's youth.
"Who cares about funny? Kids don't laugh anymore," said O'Brien. "They see celebrities and they go 'Woo.'"
Just like that, the late-night host attempted to get 50 celebrity cameos on screen. 
From Martin Scorsese and Russell Crowe to Taylor Swift and Kaley Cuoco, see who Conan tracked down.
