Ok, comedy fans - and science geeks, too! - this has got to be the best thing ever.
Last month, CBS announced that Bob Newhart would be returning to Big Bang Theory to reprise his guest role as Professor Proton, a TV personality and Sheldon Cooper's childhood hero. In September, Newhart won an Emmy for the guest role and it looks like CBS is smart enough to know a great thing when it sees it (unlike the luddites who have snubbed Bob Newhart over the past 5 decades when he was doing some of the greatest work in television comedy in one hilarious series after another, yet was always passed over at Emmy time).
On Thursday, November 7, Professor Proton returns!
But wait, it gets better! Not only will Bob Newhart reprise his Professor Proton for Thursday night's episode but, in their infinite wisdom, the BBT producers have also managed to bring in Bill Nye, the Science Guy (playing himself) as Proton's arch-nemesis! This is going to be epic!
Bob Newhart, Bill Nye and Big Bang Theory - it's a science geek/comedy trifecta!
Get your popcorn and settle in to watch (or cue up the DVR!) Thursday night's episode!
