”Look at Howard, he was a disaster when I met him. 
Now he’s a foxy astronaut with a hot wife."
”He always wanted to be an astronaut."
”He thinks that too, that’s how good I am."
It’s the end of an era and CBS is going all out for the conclusion of 'The Big Bang Theory.'
In anticipation for the series finale of the hit comedy on Thursday, May 16, the network 
is airing a 30 minute special called 'Unraveling the Mystery: A Big Bang Farewell' to air 
just after the final episode. 
"Bazinga."
The 30-minute special is slotted for 9:30 p.m. ET/PT, following 'Big Bang Theory's' 
hourlong series ender airing at 8 p.m. and the season-two finale of the prequel 
spinoff 'Young Sheldon.' The series stars Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco who play 
Leonard and Penny respectively will host the special, which will take viewers behind the 
scenes of the show and will also include interviews, cast and crew memories, backstage 
secrets, and a tour of the iconic set. 'The Big Bang Theory' will wrap its 12-season run 
as TV's longest-running multicamera comedy series and will have aired an impressive 
279 total episodes by the end. Back in January CBS president Kelly Kahl spoke to 
'The Hollywood Reporter' about the networks plans for the shows finale saying, 
”Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr."
"That helps."
"Shh, I’m singing."
