‘The Big Bang Theory producers and cast/crew were mum about the episode that was to air tonight, the first night of November sweeps. We had hints for two weeks now that there was something very special to expect in this episode but that they were bound to secrecy. Well the cat is out of the bag! The big secret?…..
Billy Bob Thornton!
Yes Billy Bob Thornton, who is a big fan of The Big Bang Theory guest starred on the show and this had to be a dream episode for him based on his comments earlier this year while he attended a pre-Emmy party:
Not only did Thornton get his wish that his urologist character got to try and woo Penny (played by Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), but he was able to woo Amy Farrah Folwer (played by Mayim Bialik) and interact with the entire Big Bang cast.
Basically Thornton played a urologist that specialized in treating major celebrities in a supposed discrete, yet not so discrete way. Through his treating so many in Hollywood, he managed to acquire quite a collection of wonderful movie props and games. Needless to say, the boys are easily interested to see his collection, even Leonard who just learned that the good doctor just tried to his upon his finance, Penny. Penny had called upon the doctor in her new job as a pharmaceutical sales rep and he misunderstood some of her flirtations.
Hilarity ensues as there are further mixups that lead him to meet Amy and realize maybe she is the woman for him!
The Big Bang Theory tonight was definitely Must Watch TV!
