Parsons has previously expressed his surprise at the show’s incredible popularity. “It’s been a glorious surprise, the whole way,” the Emmy-winning actor told Digital Spy in an interview, as he explained,
I knew from the beginning that I felt what we were doing was good work, because we shoot in front of a live audience, I knew they were enjoying it — But the idea of whether or not that would translate to a wide enough audience to even stay on the air, much less be popular in several foreign countries.
“Where even to this day I go ‘why?’. I just don’t get it, but I’m so happy about it,” he continued, expressing his surprise at the show’s success.
Since the success of The Big Bang Theory, Parsons has continued to thrive in his career, delivering standout performances in films such as The Boys in the Band, Spoiler Alert, and Hidden Figures.
The Big Bang Theory is available to watch on Max.
