An episode of The Big Bang Theory may have gone really wrong, as Leonard and Penny’s interpreters got it wrong while trying to crack a joke on set, and Kaley Cuoco was slightly injured. For a series about science, this move was very poorly calculated!
Discover another ending to the series, revealed by the creators!
During the panel at Comic Con 2017Actress Kaley Cuoco revealed that one scene actually went too far. Set in Season 6, Episode 16: Penny, Leonard, Howard, and Bernadette celebrate Valentine’s Day by going to a restaurant with all four of them. As she sees that one of her exes is still in perfect love, Penny, in a terrible mood, spoils her food, walks away from Leonard, and the dinner is ruined.
During a public taping of the show, the cast decides to do a blooper in which they upstage the Penny-Leonard argument, with Johnny Galecki pretending to punch Cuoco, causing her to fall backwards off her chair and pull off her fake hair. that he prepared. Except the chair hits Penny’s translator in the forehead when it falls!
“I’m on the ground and I’m like, ‘It’s not much, just a little bruise,’ and I keep playing. John keeps pretending like he’s hitting the ground, he’s throwing hair, we’re done, and I get up and say, ‘How do I look?'” And all I see is Simon My head and my blood is running all over me! Because for some reason my eyebrows always bleed a lot, you see that in boxing movies.”
The injury happened in the evening, so the actor was taken to the medical department for stitches, and the shooting was supposed to resume the next day, but this time the actor was shot in profile, precisely to hide the stitch. Found on the other side of his face!
Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco
Because filming a sitcom like The Big Bang Theory is so physically demanding and the schedule so tight to shoot 22 episodes in a few months, delays are always very bad news.
This is the reason that filming resumed the day after the incident, but with signs everywhere: “No more jokes”, because the gag, although well prepared by Galecki and Cuoco, could have really gone wrong.
