YOU MADE NERDS SEXY, RIGHT?
ANNOUNCER: BAZINGA!
IT'S KALEY CUOCO OUT IN NEW
YORK, WHICH IS TOTALLY AMAZING,
BECAUSE --
HARVEY: WASN'T IT LAST NIGHT?
ANNOUNCER: IT WAS MORE LIKE 13
BILLION YEARS AGO, BUT HE MEANS
THE SERIES FINALE OF "BIG BANG
THEORY," WHICH DID AIR LAST
NIGHT.
AN END TO A SHOW LOVED BY ALL.
HARVEY: WHO SAW THE FINALE LAST
NIGHT?
ANNOUNCER: TO BE FAIR, THERE
WERE SOME NEW "HOUSE HUNTERS"
EPISODES ON, TOO.
SO, PRIORITIES.
BUT YOU CAN'T DENY THE CULTURAL
IMPACT THAT "BIG BANG THEORY"
HAD.
AFTER ALL --
NO ONE CARED ABOUT SCIENCE
BEFORE THE SHOW.
[LAUGHTER]
ANNOUNCER: SHE IS RIGHT.
NOT A SINGLE PERSON HAD ANY
INTEREST IN THE FIELD AT ALL.
NO.
THE REAL ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE
SHOW WAS THIS.
DO YOU THINK YOU CHANGED THE
REPUTATION OF NERDS AFTER THE
SHOW?
I THINK SO.
YOU MADE SCIENCE SEXY.
YES.
ANNOUNCER: GAVE IT A GOOD SHOT.
PLUS, THEY PROVIDED INFORMATION
-- EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION AND
EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS FOR
MILLIONS OF VIEWERS.
ESPECIALLY THE 18 MILLION WHO
TUNED INTO THE FINALE.
IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST
SERIES FINALES.
BIGGER THAN "CHEERS."
HARVEY: NO.
"CHEERS" HAD 84 MILLION.
WELL, IT WAS NOT ABOUT
MATH.
IT WAS SCIENCE.
ANNOUNCER: MAYBE THE EDUCATION
PART DIDN'T SINK IN.
THE EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WAS
THERE.
IS IT TRUE YOU CRIED?
I DID.
ANNOUNCER: IT WAS PROBABLY
BECAUSE THEY ENDED IT IN A TRULY
REALISTIC FASHION.
THEY WON THE NOBEL PRIZE?
ANNOUNCER: IN A WORLD WHERE HE
ACTUALLY GOT A NOMINATION,
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
BAZINGA, EVERYBODY!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
HAVE A GOOD ONE.
