- We're all obsessed even
though you obviously,
Big Bang Theory.
- [Kaley] I'm freaking right now
because I'm obsessed with you.
- Well, let me tell you,
I told everybody backstage I was so mad
'cause my husband has talked to you,
my daughter, my eldest
daughter is an equestrian,
so are you!
- Yes, yes!
- And we were looking for help
with something and guidance,
and you were so sweet to talk to her.
- Oh my God!
- She was so excited!
- Anytime I get to give
any equestrian advice,
I get very excited, so!
- Oh my God, you're
insane, you're so good!
- I am definitely insane, yes!
- [Kelly] You're good!
- My husband's much better but
that's actually how we met,
but we just love the
sport, we love horses.
I know you guys do too!
- We do, we have many horses,
and chickens, and bees,
and all the things!
- Same, I love it!
Goats and everything.
- Me too, it's kind of cool!
It like brings you back!
Like, even walking around,
you have a ranch right?
- Yes, yes!
We have a ranch as well!
And you just walk around the land
and you're like,
you remember what it was like
to not be busy all the time!
- It's unbelievable and to
be surrounded by animals,
I don't think there's anything
better or more refreshing.
- I agree, so is this
how you spend your time?
'Cause this is 12 years right?
On the Big Bang Theory?
- 12 years on Big Bang, yeah!
- Is this, you're now a
rancher, you're ranching?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
(audience applause)
- Thank you, thank you!
That was very long time, yeah,
it was an unbelievable ride!
- [Kelly] 12 years is an
unbelievable amount of time!
- [Kaley] That is a lot of time!
- [Kelly] You grew up together even more!
- [Kaley] Oh my God,
look at us leaning over!
- [Kelly] Good lord!
- [Kaley] Look how cute, I know!
- [Kelly] It's such a magical,
few shows are so magical!
The chemistry, the writing,
everything was so perfect!
- It was super special!
- [Kelly] Yeah!
- I think, you know the
writing was unbelievable!
Obviously the cast,
we had great chemistry from the beginning.
And it just, and a little
bit of luck, you know?
- Is it weird not doing it now?
Like, you did it for so
long and now you're not?
- So, I went through this weird process
because we knew we were ending,
like I think it would've
been really traumatizing
if it was like, it's over,
and then you wrap the season,
and like, you're never coming back.
So, we knew a year, we knew very early!
- Oh, okay!
- So, I went through this very strange
grief period like six
months before we wrapped.
It was like knowing it was coming!
- Yeah!
- I was like crying and histerical,
and inconsolable, and I couldn't,
I was like what is going on?
I knew that I was kind of
going through this process
of it being done.
- Yeah!
- So then, when we did wrap!
I had kind of gone through it!
I'm a very, it might be a little,
maybe not a good thing, but
I can really close the door!
- Oh, me too!
- I can close the door, like hard!
- I feel like I should
see someone about it!
- Yeah, (laughs) same!
- Yeah, yeah, it totally
goes back to childhood,
things with my father, but yes!
- Yeah (laughs)
- I totally close the door!
I do it because it's a
survival instinct, yeah!
- It's a survival, you're so right!
So I am very much like that,
where I can grieve but I
really can move forward.
And then you know, I see
a picture like the show!
And it's just so wonderful
and the memories will always be there,
but I'm a shark and I go forward.
Sharks don't swim backwards,
so you gotta keep going forward, you know?
- [Kelly] Yeah, I love that!
- [Kaley] Yeah!
(laughs)
(audience applause)
- Except for in Deep Blue Sea!
- Yeah, yeah, no!
It's a pretty shark!
- That movie, there was a movie
where they started going backwards,
I was like that's not right!
- Yeah, sharks do not swim backwards!
- (laughs) I was like that's not real!
- No, that's crazy!
- I know, it's a movie!
(laughing)
Someone told me it was a movie
and I was like of course!
Do you still talk to everybody though?
Do y'all still hang?
- We've had an email going around actually
over about a month ago,
when we were supposed to go back to work.
So, I think everyone started going,
oh, normally we'd be
at the table right now!
- Where is my call sheet?
- Yeah, where is my coffee?
- Yeah!
(laughs)
- No one's bringing us stuff anymore!
(laughing)
- Wait, you're saying I have
to get my own coffee now?
- Yeah, it was shocking!
(laughs)
This has all been very real, yeah!
But we did do a little check in
and see how everyone's doing,
and everyone really is
kind of on a new path,
and it's really really cool!
- That's awesome!
- You know, and we just
have unbelievable memories!
So, over the passed 12 years,
if anyone follows on my Instagram
they know I take a lot of Polaroids!
And so, for 12 years on Big Bang,
I must have taken about
2000 Polaroids of the cast!
And at the very end,
- I take Polaroids on this show!
- We're the same person!
- I'm telling you, I'm
freaking out right now!
- Yeah!
- Because everybody's like,
why are you doing Polaroids?
I'm like 'cause you could never understand
peoples signature in a book!
You can't, you know
when they have payments,
- Yes!
- You know, we always
have to sign the book.
- Yes!
- You can't ever tell who anybody is!
- No, you're right!
- I'm getting a documented
picture, it's a Polaroid!
- No, that's great, I love Polaroid's!
And I did it for years,
so when we wrapped,
I sent, yeah, my assistant
actually helped me a lot with this,
I have to give her a lot of credit!
We put all the Polaroids on a hard drive
and sent it to the cast and crew!
- Wow!
- So they have all these Polaroids now!
Then they just got it a few weeks ago,
so they started to text me like,
I got the pictures!
I'm talking like season one,
Polaroids that are barely even clear!
- This is what I want with our show!
- Yes, you're going to have that!
- That's why I started
doing it with everyone!
- Do it!
- Oh, I love it!
- And you'll annoy the hell out of people
taking pictures, they will be so grateful
at the end of the day!
- [Kelly] Suck it up!
- Yeah!
I would come around, they're like,
no more, I'm like were doing it!
- Yeah, smile!
- Yes, smile dammit!
- Do you ever catch yourself
watching old episodes?
'Cause it's on all the time!
- Yeah, I know I'm sorry, it's on a lot!
- No, I'm just saying, it is!
Anytime I turn my television,
I am watching Big Bang Theory!
- Or like a plan, you can't get off that!
- Yeah, that's what I"m
saying, you're stuck!
Metal tube in the air!
- [Kaley] You're stuck watching!
- Yup, yup!
- But do you ever watch it, do you ever?
- So, it is on a lot!
And so, I'll be flipping
channels and once in a while
I will turn it on.
And if it's an older episode,
nothing new, I can't do anything recent,
it's like too close!
But, like the early seasons
where I don't even look like myself,
and I feel like I don't
even sound like myself!
(laughs)
I went through a lot of changes!
A lot of hair, a lot of different clothes!
- Yeah, we all do!
A lot of different sizes, Kaley!
- Like, what happened?
- Yeah, it all happens!
- Oh my God!
- Yeah!
- I was like, why, why that?
- [Kelly] That's why I never look back!
- Yeah, don't look back! Be a shark!
- I'm gonna be a shark (laughing)
