Highlights

  • Simon Helberg praised Mayim Bialik's impact on The Big Bang Theory, highlighting her contributions as a key part of the show's success.
  • Both Helberg and Johnny Galecki have been relatively quiet since the show's end, with limited work and few interviews.
  • Rumors suggest tensions between cast members, particularly between Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik vs. Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco, due to post-Big Bang Theory career decisions.

Still today, fans can't get enough of The Big Bang Theory. Reruns of the show will last a lifetime. However, since the show ended, the cast members have went their own ways. Certain stars of the show have been open, while others have taken a backseat since the show ended.

Simon Helberg has continued with some great work. However, the actor hasn't been involved when it comes to public interviews. He did one revealing chat two years ago alongside Mayim Bialik. It was the only in-depth conversation about his time on the series.

We are going to take a look back at a notable moment from the interview, and how he got Bialik to show some emotions. In addition, we are also going to take a closer look at Johnny Galecki's final interview, and the current state of the cast. Is there trouble behind the scenes?

It seems like Kunal Nayyar and Johnny Galecki are in a different place compared to Jim Parsons since The Big Bang Theory ended.

Since The Big Bang Theory came to an end, Simon Helberg has taken his career in a completely different direction.

What has the actor done since the show ended in 2019?

  • Annette
  • Dug Days
  • As They Made Us
  • Space Oddity
  • Poker Face
  • American Dad

On the flip side, in terms of interviews, Helberg has stayed quiet, and that also includes his personal life. Helberg doesn't have an Instagram account, so fans haven't been able to keep up.

His most notable recent interview came two years ago and of course, it was alongside Mayim Bialik. The interview gave fans a closer look at the actor, and it was clear, the reaction was nothing but positive. Fans specifically loved a moment that showed Helberg praising Bialik for her contributions to the show, despite the fact that she really didn't want to hear about it.

Helberg tells an emotional Bialik, "You're either being modest or overlooking something. Which is a fundamental part of the ship, which was you coming on the show. And Melissa. You guys came on the show, and the show grew an extra heart. An octopus. The show that the people remember is of the seven of us."

A great moment between the two that can be seen at the start of the video below.

The actor went from a minor player on The Big Bang Theory, to a main stay after an off-script line with Kaley Cuoco.

How did the fans react to the interview? The top-rated comments read:

  • "He's 100% right about Mayim Bialik being the missing ingredient of the show. Amy was one of the best mid-series character additions in the history of TV. I put her up there with Frasier Crane and any number of characters on M.A.S.H. TBBT would not have lasted as long as it did without her."
  • "Since we're talking about how great Melissa and Mayim were on TBBT, I just want to add how amazing it was to see two women with PhD level science careers on one sitcom. And not just two female scientists, but two female scientists with completely different personalities and backgrounds and opinions about the world. I loved that so much."
  • "He's right about TBBT, it was good with the four guys & Penny, but one Mayim & Melissa a became full cast members, it really became a great show and the one we remember and love. Great Episode."

It became very evident that the fans agreed with Helberg's reveal, and the impact Bialik had on the show as Amy. Here's to hoping fans get to see more of Simon in the future.

Simon Helberg doesn't have any upcoming roles scheduled.

Johnny Galecki Also Made Some Bold Reveals During His Final Interview Discussing TBBT

Similar to Simon Helberg, Johnny Galecki hasn't done many interviews since TBBT came to an end. In addition, his work has also been limited. It seems like Johnny has put an emphasis on starting a family instead.

One of his final chats came alongside Brian Elliot on YouTube's Behind the Brand. The revealing interview did show some of Galecki's future cards. When asked what he had planned, Johnny made it clear he still wasn't sure about his future.

"Right now, as far as the higher gun actor stuff I want to kind of take a break and let it run its course through my blood stream." Galecki continues, "I say that, but something always comes up."

Howard Wolowitz from The Big Bang Theory could have been a much deeper and emotional character, according to fans.

Johnny Galecki wasn't short of offers following his time on TBBT either. Executive producers Bruce Helford and Dave Caplan of The Conners contacted Galecki for a return to the show.

Why didn't Galecki return?

  • “We even approached [Galecki] for this episode, to be honest with you,” Bruce Helford told TVLine.
  • “It was just one of those things where it didn’t work out — and like you say, he’s certainly taking a step away, taking a breather, and we understand that. But we have to deal with what’s going on in the Conners’ lives, so we just decided this was the time [to address David’s absence].”

Johnny Galecki did update fans recently during an interview with Architectural Digest . The actor revealed he moved off the map to Nashville.

According to an inside source, problems have been building and a blowup between Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik Vs. Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco took place.

What caused the current issue?

According to the source, post-Big Bang Theory career decisions.

  • "Mayim had the profound epiphany that being a dedicated TV comedy actress, not a part-time game show host, was her destiny. And she, of course, sees a similar future to what Jim has enjoyed during the last few years as Warner Bros. seeks to make more shows set in this continuity. But today, in 2024, Kaley and Johnny aren't involved whatsoever.”

Fans have been very split about the current feud. Jim Parsons continues to make millions off Young Sheldon, despite the fact he decided to end The Big Bang Theory. Certain fans can understand why Kaley and Johnny have pulled back from Young Sheldon, especially given how abrupt Big Bang Theory's ending came.
