The Big Bang Theory is one of the most-watched shows on TV, and with that kind of fan base,
you'd think there wouldn't be much that would slip past the public eye.
But over the course of 10 seasons—and counting—The Big Bang Theory has amassed plenty of bizarre
behind-the-scenes stories.
Here's a look at some of the details that even die-hard fans may not know about The
Big Bang Theory.
Paycheck charity
When The Big Bang Theory was renewed in 2014, Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, and Kaley Cuoco
each had a new contract giving them a cool $1 million an episode.
But costars Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik weren't so lucky.
They both joined the show later on, so for the last few seasons, they've been raking
in a relatively meager $200,000 per episode.
So for the show's 11th and 12th seasons, the highest-paid cast members agreed to cut their
pay to $900,000 an episode each so that the extra money could go toward Rauch and Bialik's
paychecks, raising their per-episode earnings to about $450,000.
Now that's friendship.
"You're just in time.
I believe I've isolated the algorithm for making friends."
Baby be gone
In the middle of the tenth season, a new character joined The Big Bang Theory: Halley, the newborn
baby daughter of Howard and Bernadette.
And while it led to plenty of parenting jokes, the baby itself doesn't show up on screen
much, if at all.
"You know, in India, when my baby brother cried like that, the servants would just take
him far away so we couldn't hear it."
According to showrunner Steve Molaro, that's by design.
It solves the problem of having a baby on set, but it's also a tribute to Carol Ann
Susi, the unseen actress who played Howard's similarly always-screaming mother before her
death in 2014.
"I'm just saying, you can take the damn plastic off the couch once in a while!"
"Why, so you and Howard can hump on it?"
Theme song squabble
Canadian pop-rock band Barenaked Ladies is responsible for "The Big Bang Theory Theme."
The song generates revenue for the band every time it's played on The Big Bang Theory...which
is every episode.
But it's not without controversy.
Although longtime Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page left the band in 2009, he says
he was promised a 20 percent cut of any profits the song generated.
According to Page, he hasn't seen a dime of Big Bang theme song money.
He filed suit, alleging that his former bandmate Ed Robertson took his cut of the profits.
According to legal documents, Page believes the song generated somewhere in the neighborhood
of $1 million from the show.
Show-stopper
Mayim Bialik joined the series as neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler in Season 3 and slowly became
a love interest for Sheldon.
But she'd never seen the mega-popular show before her audition.
She told Variety:
"I knew it was a big deal because my manager told me like try and get this part.
That was pretty much all I knew of the show—is that it was really big."
And she still hasn't seen it.
"I don't have TV, so I don't really watch."
They were watching her, though.
"You know who's apparently really smart?
The girl who played TV's Blossom."
Chuck vs Chuck
Chuck Lorre is the man behind sitcom successes like Dharma & Greg and Two and a Half Men—and,
of course, The Big Bang Theory, but Jim Parsons had never heard of the guy before he auditioned
for the role of Sheldon.
Parsons said on The Late Show with David Letterman that when his agent called him to say he'd
landed an audition for the new "Chuck Lorre show," Parsons thought the agent meant Chuck
Woolery, the host of '80s game shows like Love Connection.
As a result, Parsons was less than enthusiastic about the audition.
He said, "I thought, why are they so excited about it?
We should see what the man has to offer before we're like, 'It's a new Chuck Woolery pilot!'"
A Bang in Belarus
Every episode of The Big Bang Theory ends with a "vanity card" written by producer Chuck
Lorre—a paragraph or so about any random topic he wants to talk about.
He writes a new one for each episode, and in 2010, one of those cards reported Lorre's
discovery of a TV show from the Eastern European nation of Belarus called The Theorists.
The premise?
"A sitcom about four nerdy scientists who live next door to a beautiful blonde waitress.
The characters are named Sheldon, Leo, Hovard, Raj, and Natasha."
The opening sequence for the show was "a rapid-fire montage of images which takes us from the
dawn of time to the present moment."
Unfortunately, the lawyers at Warner Bros.
Television told Lorre there wasn't anything he could do about the rip-off—the production
company responsible for The Theorists was owned by the Belarusian government.
Sheldon's species
Every Big Bang Theory fan knows Sheldon's catchphrase:
"Come here!"
"Bazinga!"
As it turns out, the catchphrase is pretty popular in the scientific community, too.
When jellyfish expert Dr. Lisa-Ann Gershwin identified a new species of Australian jellyfish,
she named the creature Bazinga rieki as an homage to Dr. Cooper.
But that's not the only scientific legacy the show has inspired—in 2013, biologists
in Brazil announced the discovery of a new bee: the orchid bee.
The researchers wrote that the bee had "tricked [them] for some time," and since Sheldon most
often uses "Bazinga!" when he tricks someone or plays a prank on them, the biologists thought
the word was a perfect way to describe the bee.
The Big Bang Theory's showrunner Steven Molaro released a statement in response, saying,
"Sheldon would be honored to know that Euglossa bazinga was inspired by him.
In fact, after Mothra and griffins, bees are his third-favorite flying creatures."
"Bazinga"
