Jim Parsons became an honorary “Danette” today on the Dan Patrick Show and talked about many things, following Dan’s lead. He then moved to the backrow to sit with McLovin. He let out that he would be looking to upgrade his housing in New York.
He did say he would like to see more sports on The Big Bang Theory and that he and Kunal are in the same fantasy football league.

Jim says that when he looks at photos of him from life he can’t remember what he was doing at the time most of the time. He said nothing interesting in his life is “hidden” like with some celebrities.
Dan was willing to trade his Sports Emmy for Jim’s Golden Globe award. Jim seemed surprised by this, but contemplated briefly until he realized that the trophies were just that, trophies. The acknowledgement was most important and being documented on record.
Jim used his phone to take Instagram photos while on the show.

Yes! The joy… on DP Show
Dan decided to move Jim to sit in the front row. He was in the producers chair.
Jim finds friends and family of his in Philadelphia passionate and annoying.
Al Michaels was joining them for the last hour in the show.
We will update this as the story continues to unfold. Watch for updates.
We are still waiting for a clip from the show with Jim, but we do have the following .gifs from jamiesquirks on Tumblr that were made from the show:
Tonight Conan O’Brien had guest stars from ‘The Big Bang Theory’ including Kunal Nayyar and the Garfunkel & Oates girls, Kate Micucci and Riki Lindholme. Kunal demonstrated his ‘Bollywood’ moves to Conan and talked about a dance scene in his film Dr. Cabbie. He also talked about The Big Bang Theory.

Commentary: Mayim Bialik, actress on “The Big Bang Theory” September 10, 2014 10:40 PM PDT
Part of the difficulty of getting kids into science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) is the common misconception that it’s reserved for geeks or only the “smartest “kids in class. What if we could replace those images with real, relatable people, who kids have access to from an early age?
While most people know me as an actress on “The Big Bang Theory,” I also have a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA. I am a science geek and I embrace it! In high school and college, I spent hours upon hours with my graphing calculator in order to gain a deeper understanding of abstract concepts in science and mathematics. Today, many kids spend hours upon hours with their cell phones and tablets, which honestly worries me.
In my role as brand ambassador for Texas Instruments, I have traveled to classrooms around the country encouraging students to pursue studies and future careers in the exciting and fulfilling STEM space. From a young age, students need access to mentors in STEM fields and they need to know the important statistics about STEM.
According to the U.S. bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in STEM occupations is projected to grow nearly twice as fast as the average for all occupations over the next four years.
A 2012 report from President Obama’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology found that about 1 million more STEM professionals will be needed in the next decade. Yet less than 40 percent of students entering college intend to major in these fields.
Since 2001, our nation has never really been the same. We were feeling very secure and our nation still felt a bit naive and isolated from any acts of terror or attack. But everything changed on September 11, 2001 and we have never felt quite as secure since. So it only seems appropriate that we focus on how we will never forget as our Thowback Thursday to that day. This is not meant to be a downer, but more to memorialize those who gave so much and who lost their lives and to those families that were changed forever as a result. I am grateful to the spirit of the American people and how we have been able to rebuild and not be scared y-cats. We have pulled together and moved on from this tragedy without ever forgetting and we will never forget. But we will continue to prevail and move forward, learning, growing and becoming a stronger nation. God Bless the USA!

We will be covering The Big Bang Theory and Dreamworks Animations’ Home activities at Comic-Con. Please check back as this will be updated throughout the event.
Today Dreamworks Animation is holding their panel. The panel will be discussing Home (with the handsome Jim Parsons and Tim Johnson) and Penguin in Madagascar (with the handsome Benedict Cumberbatch on the panel). Craig Ferguson is hosting the panel.
Jim Parsons
Jim Parsons, a clear fan favorite, received huge cheers ushering him onto the Panel, hosted by Craig Ferguson, joined by Tim Johnson, the creator of the film Home.
Tim Johnson and Jim Parsons gave a brief overview of the film and Jim’s character “Oh” named after the less-than-enthusiastic response the Boov gets every time he encounters one of his fellow aliens because of his bumbling ways.
Both Jim and Tim continued to discuss how Rhianna was involved throughout the creative process in defining and creating her character “Tip” to bring life to the girl who would befriend “Oh” and try to save the planet earth from the Boov population that has taken over and decided to “improve” the world. Unfortunately in the process it appears that both she and Oh destroy Paris.
“When you first see your voice with that character, it does take an adjustment period,” Parsons said. “I was a little horrified. The animators are the greatest excuse-makers for your performance in the world. I deliver my lines and I’m like, ‘I don’t like that performance at all. And then they draw it and I’m like, ‘That was perfect!’

The Big Bang Theory
The panel seating position from right to left is as follows:
Steve Molaro, Bill Prady Dave Goetsch, Jim Reynolds, Steve Holland, Maria Ferrari, Anthony Del Broccolo,Tara Hernandez, Jeremy Howe, and then David Salzberg
The event started with a highlights clip and when the boys were dressed in costume and buying Comic-Con tickets aired, the crowd cheered in a big way.
Highlights Clip
Kate Micucci & Riki Lindholme (Garfunkel & Oates) at The Big Bang Theory Panel – #SDCC 2014 Photo: API Images
Kate Micucci and Riki Linkholme of Garfunkel & Oates, who are going to be featured at the House of Blues in San Diego, were up next, playing live the song Howard sang to Bernadette, “If I Didn’t Have You” in the Ballroom at the panel today giving their own “spin” and adding words about Comic-Con in the piece. Nice touch ladies!
Craig Ferguson moderated the panel. Of course one of the questions asked was the status of the contracts that are pending. This is probably the question everyone felt was the big elephant in the room, yet unfortunately it went unanswered as Craig responded “We can’t let you ask about that — it’s a legal question.”
When Professor Proton’s death came up, Craig replied “You bastard” to Steve Molaro, who was blamed for the death of the character.
Bob Newhart had to be given special tips on Star Wars in order to perform his role in the Professor Proton after-life scenes.
Eric Kaplan received some boos from the audience when he revealed that he was not a fan of Star Wars, yet Steve Holland is a big fan and threw a Star Wars themed party at his home.
A tidbit about The Big Bang Theory is that James Earl Jones and Carrie Fisher met for the first time on their set. Who would have known? When Carrie first saw James, she said “Dad!”
Stephen Hawking holds a special place in his heart for the show and invited the writers to his birthday party!
Tara Hernandez is a big fan of both Craig Ferguson and How To Train Your Dragon it seems.
Bill Prady claims that the show was never originally intended to be about geeks and nerds, but it was about special people who were highly intelligent and people they knew. He had considered originally to make them about computer programmers, where he had worked in a past career life.
Jeremy Howe talks about how he originally was a writer’s assistant, easing into becoming part of the writing staff. Anthony Del Broccolo worked at Nickelodian, joining (along with Maria Ferrrari and Steve Holland) The Big Bang Theory team in Season 3.
Eric Kaplan was interviewed when the producers were seeking a different Eric Kaplan and signals were crossed. This Eric was contacted instead and well the rest is history!
Eric Kaplan thinks that the good thing about science fiction is it makes the real world comprehensible to people. When commenting on himself and others like him:
We make sure we don’t exceed a certain level, but we don’t drop below either. -Eric Kaplan
Dave Goetsch at one time shared an idea early in the show and Chuck Lorre responded “if you do that you will ruin the show”. So much for confidence building.
Molaro does talk to the cast about upcoming story and Johnny finds it particularly helpful.
Fan questions started with asking about the elevator. “Will it ever be fixed?”
Molaro replied that it was the only exercise the boys get. Prady feels the staircase gives the characters and “organic place” to walk and talk.
Trivia piece about the stairs, WB originally wanted to move the pilot to a different sound stage so that they would not have to dig another hole for the stairs.
When the show first brought on the girls Amy and Bernadette, the show had no specific or grand plan for them according to Molaro. “We loved their auditions and they were great and that is how it happened.”
One of the fans talked about how she is very happy with the Shamy progress and the crowd reinforced her enthusiasm for the couple by a huge cheer. When Molaro mentioned the Shamy kiss on the train, the crowd again cheered and clapped.
The kiss caused a lot of stress within the writing team because they wanted to get it right. They wrote various versions, including a gentler version where Sheldon kissed Amy because he is enjoying the train.
When asked about whether or not Shamy will continue to progress, Prady answered “Watching Amy move Sheldon is incredible. Sheldon doesn’t want to lose Amy but isn’t comfortable with her being happy on her terms right now so that moves him forward.”
Prady teases Eric Kaplan by stating “Uncomfortable and direct questions from Eric are part of the writer’s room experience. ”
When asked about Sheldon’s progress, Prady says “Sheldon will not move at all and Amy will not let him move.”
Goetsch estimates that the writers spend 1500 hours a season together and the job does get tough.
The audience was shown a hilarious spoof of the Serial Ape-ist2 “Monkey See, Monkey Kill” which had the audience roaring with laughter and cheering.
Special Guest Wil Wheaton joined the panel!

Wil Wheaton immediately starts out with “I’m not as evil as the character started out being, but it gradually shifted to more of who I am in real life.”
Craig interjected that he wished the Serial Ape-ist2 movie was real. Wil replied that “the more we talked about the scenes, the more they wanted it to be real.”
The Wil Wheaton home on the show is designed to look like Wil’s real home. The Crusher wall art he actually owns in his real home.
A fan asked if there were more flashbacks planned and Molaro said that none were planned at this time.
Craig suggested a “Big Bang Babies (a la Muppet Babies)” show. Molaro replied back that there are no plans for the characters to have babies.
One fan asked why there was so much hate on Aquaman. Craig yelled back that Aquaman is not a real superhero. Wheaton on the other hand likes Aquaman.
Sheldon is a hypochonriac. If he says diagnosed, in all likelihood it was by himself. You cannot take him for his word, according to Prady.
Good news, the comic book store is not a total goner. Molaro says the show will not go on without a comic book store.
Kaplan says that Star Wars is a “childish wish fulfilment.”
There is no roadmap set out yet for the characters. The women were attributed to the large growth the guys have made.
Leonard and Penny are not in a rush to get married. Penny wants to set the date far enough out that people will know she is not pregnant.
Molaro has thoughts on how the show will end, but will not share them.
“Penny’s last name is a bit of a superstition right now” says Molaro when asked about whether her last name will be revealed. When the Leonard and Penny characters marry, they will figure out how to work the last name issue.
Stuart is still with Mrs. Wolowitz at the start of the new season.
Mary Quigley selects the shirts that the guys wear on the show.

During Seasons 5 and 6, Howard Wolowitz (played by Simon Helberg) befriends Mike Massimino, a true NASA astronaut, who joins Howard’s space journey to the International Space Station in the story on The Big Bang Theory. Massimino returned in Season 7 when Howard was having a crisis after NASA calls him wanting him to return to the International Space Station to do some work in The Table Polarization episode.
Well it seems that -Mike is hanging up his helmet and space suit and putting on his teaching cap. Leaving NASA, after being with them nearly two decades, Mike Massimino will be moving to Columbia University, his undergraduate degree Alma Mater, and taking on a full-time teaching position with the University.
Joining NASA in 1996, Massimino has been on two shuttle missions to service the Hubble Telescope and during his final servicing mission in 2009 (STS-125), he was the first astronaut to tweet from space, opening the doors for social media from space to follow. He logged more than 570 hours in space, including 30 hours of spacewalks. Amusingly, his first space shuttle mission was on a ship named Columbia.
“Mike has played a significant role within the astronaut office in his time here,” said Bob Behnken, Chief of the Astronaut Office at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. “His technical expertise was extremely helpful in the many roles he fulfilled, not the least of which was his part in the successful Hubble servicing missions.”
“Mike embraced the opportunity to engage with the public in new ways and set the stage for more space explorers to be able to share their mission experience directly with people around the globe. We wish him well in his new role fostering the dreams and innovations of students just beginning their career paths,” Behnken said.
Graduating with his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, Massimino completed four additional degrees form Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); two Master’s degrees – one in Mechanical Engineering and the second in Technology and Policy and he has a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering.
It is ironic that his character on The Big Bang Theory would be dependent on Howard Wolowitz’s Mechanical Engineering skills in the scripts. Sharing another common interest with the character Howard, Massimino served in the Astronaut Office Robotics Branch and the Astronaut Office Extravehicular Activity (EVA, or Spacewalk) Branch. Howard shared common interest in robotics and EVA.
We do hope that with his new position, Massimino will still be able to return from time to time to The Big Bang Theory to give Howard Wolowitz more ribbing. We wish Mike Massimino well in his new position at Columbia University.
The #Emmy4Mayim Campaign put together a great little piece summarizing the Instagram Shennanigans between Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik that took place on the set of The Big Bang Theory, celebrating their first week back to work for Season 8.
While Mayim Bialik and Jim Parsons make it clear that they are happy to be back on the set and working together again, we fans also are thrilled to see the cast back at work and these two so excited. We felt it appropriate to share what the #Emmy4Mayim campaign put together.
“It’s kind of cute to follow the love” via . (if you post it they will come)
A few days ago Mayim Bialik sent out an invitation via Facebook and Twitter —“jim parsons and i have now posted 2 pictures together on instagram. he’s ns and i’m . it’s kind of cute to follow the love.”
Fans have followed, increasing missmayim’s followers by over 30,000 since August 7th when Jim Parsons posted the first selfie from the set of The Big Bang Theory. Fans of the Emmy nominated duo have made their recent #majim selfies the most popular on each account. This pattern of favorites began when Missmayim posted from the People’s Choice Awards in January 2014 and is expected to continue as fans clamor for more after each new post.
Here is a tour of their selfies with music by Jack Johnson.
Even as we write this piece, the video, which was created just moments earlier than this post show that they are at 80K and 40K, but in reality those numbers are growing fast in number of “likes”. On Jim’s site they have gone up to 80.6K and on Mayim’s site up to 40.4K. Fans just cannot get enough of these two! We hope they will continue to share and let us “follow the love” on and off set.
Maybe their next moment to share will be joint wins at the 66th Annual Emmy Awards this year. Fans of The Big Bang Theory and the #Emmy4Mayim team are keeping their fingers crossed that this will be Mayim’s year to walk off stage with a statue in hand. Let’s hope we get some great selfies from that evening with these two!

Dear and This is my bucket. I have received your challenges and I will fill this thing with ice and water this weekend. And , you’d better be prepared… Just throwing that out there…
Challenge Request: Please and ns on Instagram, please both of you film each other doing it or doing it together. Would love to have you both there. 😉
Have you heard of the ALS Challenge? Social Media has come up with a way to help the ALS Association raise funds. Using social media, fundraisers will challenge others to an “ice bucket drench” of cool or ice cold water. The challenge involves people getting doused with buckets of ice water on video, posting that video to social media, then nominating others to do the same, all in an effort to raise ALS awareness. Those who refuse to take the challenge are asked to make a donation to the ALS charity of their choice.
Seton O’Connor, Director of Operations on the Dan Patrick show, has challenged Jim Parsons.
Some fans, myself included, have offered to donate funds if Jim and Mayim both will accept the challenge. Will they accept? Will other The Big Bang Theory Cast accept a challenge? We certainly hope so and we will continue to follow any response from the cast. Stay tuned.
Jim also was challenged by Jeffrey Katzenberg at Dreamsworks Animations and by Johnny Weir:

Just what is ALS?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost.

Beloved funny-man and Oscar & Golden Globe-winning actor, Robin Williams has passed away at age 63. Preliminar autopsy reports are calling his death is a suicide from asphyxiation. He was found with a belt hanging in his home with a belt securely around his neck. His assistant was the unlucky person who found him.
“This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin‘s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions,” the 63-year-old actor’s wife, Susan Schneider told THR.
Many of us grew up with Robin and laughed with him, cried with him, were touched by him and always found ourselves rooting for him. He was as comfortable in dramatic roles as he was in comedic arenas.
Robin Williams is most known for his roles in Mork & Mindy, Good Morning Vietnam, Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society, Patch Adams, The Fisher King, The Bird Cage, Jumanji, Bicentennial Man, What Dreams May Come, and providing the voice of the Genie in Aladdin, the voices of Ramon/Lovelace in Happy Feet and many other projects. Williams had completed filming three projects that are currently in post production: Merry Friggin’ Christmas; Night at the Museum: The Secret of the Tomb; and Absolutely Anything where he was the voice of Dennis the Dog.
The cast of The Big Bang Theory are grieving along with us and had this to say. We will continue to add further comments that come as the cast learn of the news and react. They are on set today and many have not had a chance to react to the news just yet.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I will miss Robin Williams.
