]]>Parsons topped the list of the highest-paid TV actors for the fourth time in a row with $26.5 million in the bank, thanks to the role of quirky physicist Sheldon Cooper. He wasn’t the only The Big Bang Theory actor who earned an impressive sum of money thanks to this hit sitcom. His co-stars Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, and Kunal Nayyar were right behind him.
When it comes to actresses, Sofia Vergara took the crown for the seventh year in a row – and her victory is even more impressive than Parsons. In an era when experts are constantly discussing the gender pay gap in Hollywood, Modern Family star scored a big win for women everywhere. She pocketed $42.5 million last year alone, earning more than every guy on TV! Kaley Cuoco came in second and was closely followed by Grey’s Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo.

]]>CBS, Warner Bros. TV and Chuck Lorre Productions have issued a joint statement confirming the news.
“We are forever grateful to our fans for their support of The Big Bang Theory during the past twelve seasons. We, along with the cast, writers and crew, are extremely appreciative of the show’s success and aim to deliver a final season, and series finale, that will bring The Big Bang Theory to an epic creative close.”
The decision to cancel follows the network and producers reluctancy to reconfigure the entire show following the departure of Jim Parsons. According to EW, star Jim Parsons, who plays Dr. Sheldon Cooper, is ready to walk away from the series and since there is no show without Sheldon the series’ upcoming season will be its last.
CBS Entertainment head Kelly Kahl also released a statement confirming the news, three weeks after saying that the network is in preliminary talks to renew the show.
“The Big Bang Theory has been the defining comedy of its generation. All of us at the Network take exceptional pride in this series that uniquely combines creative genius, commercial ratings success, cultural influence and characters who became so popular, they are easily known by just one name. We’re incredibly grateful for our partnership with Warner Bros., Chuck Lorre Productions and a brilliant cast and crew that has made such a ‘big bang’ and lasting legacy on the television landscape.”
Season 12 of The Big Bang Theory will premier Monday, September 24.

]]>Earlier this year, fans got a sneak peek of the set and the show’s adorable star Iain Armitage, who plays the young Sheldon Cooper. The prequel follows young Sheldon and is narrated by Jim Parsons, who played adult Sheldon and is also the spinoff’s executive producer.
Portraying the 9-year-old nerdy genius was a bit of a challenge as some qualities that were portrayed by adult Sheldon simply don’t translate well to a young child. For example, while adult Sheldon can be horrible to his best friends but still be loved by the audience, the same behavior would simply make a child look bratty. At the Television Critics Association press tour, Lorre said that a decision was made to have the young Sheldon simply be naïve and nerdy rather than a cynical young boy.
Parsons said that watching a younger version of the character which he played for ten years was a revitalizing and fun experience.
Fans might be expecting some cameo performances, however, Lorre said that as of now, nothing like that has been planned. He added that perhaps some plot lines on the prequel will resonate in Big Bang, somewhat of a ripple effect as the shows will go forward in time.
