AFTER 12 VERY FUNNY
SEASONS, CBS'S MOST POPULAR
SITCOME COMES TO AN END
TONIGHT.
YOU'LL GET TO WATCH THE
FINAL "BIG BANG THEORY" AT
7:00.
WE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT WORKING
ON THE SHOW.
SOME DAY MY FORMULAS --
Reporter: TONIGHT'S SERIES
FINALE OF "THE BIG BANG THEORY"
IS BITTERSWEET TO RAJ.
I REALIZED THOSE WERE THE
LAST WORDS I EVER SAID AS RAJ
AND IT HIT ME.
I CRIED A LOT.
AND IT WAS GOOD.
IT WAS REALLY NICE.
IT WAS A GOOD CRY.
Reporter: IT DEBUTED IN 2007
FOLLOWING BRILLIANT BUT
SOCIALLY AWKWARD YOUNG
PHYSICISTS SHELDON AND LEONARD,
THEIR GEEKY GANG OF FRIENDS,
AND THEIR NEIGHBOR PENNY.
IT'S HARD, OBVIOUSLY, TO SAY
GOODBYE BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY
ENJOYABLE TO COME TO WORK
EVERYDAY AND PLAY A CHARACTER
THAT WAS SO PURE, SO INNOCENT,
SOMEONE WHO REALLY BELIEVED IN
TRUE LOVE.
Reporter: THE SHOW WOULD GO
ON TO BECOME ONE OF TV'S
HIGHEST RATED COMEDIES, WINNING
52 EMMY NOMINATIONS, WINNING
10, AND TURNING THEIR TOP STARS
INTO SOME OF THE MOST PAID
ACTORS.
HOW LUCKY I AM TO BE THIS
SAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO
SOMETHING.
Reporter: IT WAS THE MOST
WATCHED COMEDY FOR SEVEN OF ITS
LAST EIGHT SEASONS, AVERAGING
NEARLY 12 MILLION VIEWERS A
WEEK.
I ASKED RAJ ABOUT HIS LEGACY.
I HOPE THAT FOR THE TIME
THAT WE WERE ON, THAT WE MADE
THE WORLD A HAPPIER PLACE.
Reporter: AS FOR HOW IT WILL
ALL END, WELL, THE CAST
PROMISES A SWEET SENDOFF IN THE
SHOW'S HOUR-LONG FINALE
TONIGHT.
