As many of you will know, if you have checked out this page of the site, The Barenaked Ladies wrote and performed The Big Bang Theory Theme song; more specifically, Ed Robertson wrote the lyrics.
“I’m delighted and I’m really proud of that song and I’m really happy they asked me to write it,” Robertson tells Spinner while in Toronto promoting the band’s new album ‘All in Good Time.’ “It’s a really smart and funny show. The creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady were big fans of the band and they called. They said, ‘We love your writing. All we need from you is sort of a history of everything in about 32 seconds.’”
After getting a look at the pilot episode as well as a script, Robertson went to work on meshing the lyrics with a montage of “fast-forwarding series’ of images.”
“I just thought, ‘Oh I hope I get this gig, I worked really hard on it,’” he says. “And they were great to work with.”
Perhaps what was also in Robertson’s favour for the theme — which was later fleshed out to a full-length song — was pure coincidence.
“I’m a total science geek and I had just read a book by Simon Singh called ‘Big Bang: Everything You Need to Know About the Most Important Discovery of All Time,’” he says. “It’s kind of a layman’s explanation of every scientific discovery that led up to cosmological theory. So I had just read that and then I got asked, ‘Would you be interested in writing a theme song for a show called The Big Bang Theory?’ ‘Yes! Yes!’ So yeah, it was really fun.”
Kunal Nayyar will be appearing on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson tonight (well Friday morning) at 12:37 a.m. on CBS!
I will post a video as soon as one becomes available online!
The New York Post has a new interview with Kunal Nayyar who plays the lovable Raj on The Big Bang Theory. See some answers below and the rest at the link.
Why does Raj always wear so many layers? -Haverly
Kunal Nayyar: I think the discussion that happened with the costume designer is that because he’s in a new country and because he’s a genius at such a young age, the layers act as protection. It’s like a shield for him. I also bet Raj thinks it looks good.Will he ever get up the courage to talk to a woman? – PopWrap
Kunal: I doubt it. I think they’ll try lots of experimental drugs, so like in season eight he’ll be a junkie! [laughs] But no, I don’t think we’ll ever see him get over it, which I always wondered about in the beginning. “How will we continue to do this,” but the writers are amazing.Do you think Raj and Howard are the 2010 Bert and Ernie? – Vlad
Kunal: There’s definitely a bromance there. That’s what is so lovely about this season you’re seeing that they can’t live without each other. In the next few episodes you’ll really see how dependent Leonard is on Sheldon and Penny. But I think Raj and Howard are endearing. I also love that Raj is becoming more needy and effeminate, like the wife in their relationship.Co-creator Chuck Lorre said that Sheldon doesn’t qualify as gay or straight — what about Raj, does he want a girlfriend? – Linda
Kunal: I think with Sheldon, that’s obviously the case — he lives in a very specific world. As they all do, but unlike Sheldon, the guys are horny as hell! Like any single man. All Raj wants to do is pick up girls. Howard too. And you see that Leonard just wants to be with Penny. Despite growing up in labs, these guys are still driven by their lions — but it’s just difficult to carry off.What kind of girl would Raj be able to date? – Jackie
Kunal: I thought about dating a deaf women — but that’s a hard joke to pull off sensitively. I don’t know if he’ll actually ever find love. Plus, I wonder, what’s funnier than seeing these guys fail? That’s the essence of comedy. I think they’ll succeed at being friends, but not with women.
In a old-ish interview Jim Parsons talks about Sheldon’s future on The Big Bang Theory. I am assuming what he is discussing in the interview is what we saw in Episode 13: The Bozeman Reaction; but it is a fun interview nonetheless.
CBS has uploaded a new video interview with Simon Helberg who plays Howard Wolowitz in The Big Bang Theory. In the interview he reads questions from fans and answers them, watch below!
Zap2It has been crazy with interviews the past few days, today they have an interview with Jim Parsons where he talks about who he wants to play Sheldon’s Mee-ma.
“Betty White’s [on my guest star wish list],” Parsons said. “She’s been everywhere though lately. I don’t even know if we could get her between her Snickers commercials and ‘SNL’… she’d be a wonderful mee-ma.”
As fans of “BBT” know, Sheldon’s beloved mee-ma is his grandmother and, though she’s been mentioned many a time on the series, she’s yet to be seen.
In an old-ish interview Simon Helberg talks about Howard’s relationship with Penny’s co-worker Bernadette and what he thinks will happen as the show progresses.
In a new interview with Kaley Cuoco, she discusses who she would want to play her mother on the show.
On set this week, four of the five main cast members — each in their own separate interviews — named Kudrow as the perfect candidate to portray Penny’s mom.“Every week we hear something whacked about Penny’s family,” Kaley Cuoco said of her character. “She has this weird family and I’ve been waiting for the episode [in which we meet them]. My ideal mother would be Lisa Kudrow. I just think she should play my mother. I have this idea that she had me when she was really young.”
There was also an interview with Kaley and Johnny Galecki about Penny and Leonard’s relationship but that was spoiler-ish so I didn’t even finish reading; you can read it here if you wish.
Here’s an interview Jim Parsons recently did with IGN.
IGN: I love the show and I watch every week. And I keep thinking about all the people who said the sitcom was dead. You guys seem to have completely revived it. What do you think it is about the show that turned an entire show style on its ear?
Jim Parsons: Well for one thing, I don’t think there is any reinventing of a wheel going on here. You know what I mean? I don’t think anybody’s trying to do anything around here that is in any way changing the old school of thought with the traditional multi-camera sitcom. And that may be one of the biggest things we have going in our favor. We’re trying to simply execute as well as possible, a format that’s been around. That’s been related to live theater.
Lewis Beale at Victoria Advocate got the chance to sit down with Jim Parsons for a Q&A session.
If there is one breakthrough TV role over the past year or so, it is Jim Parsons’ turn as physicist Sheldon Cooper in the hit CBS sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.” Brilliant, supercilious, socially clueless, Cooper is alternately hysterical and horrifying. And Parsons’ Emmy-nominated performance is so spot-on, it seems as if the character and the actor are the same person.
But unlike Sheldon, the tall (6-foot-2), 36-year-old Parsons, a Houston native, is actually a sports fan who does not speak Klingon. Lewis Beale discussed the role and other matters with Parsons while he was on a production break.
