I Had No Idea How Badly Mayim Bialik Needed The Big Bang Theory Role When She Auditioned

We’re not quite a decade out from when The Big Bang Theory ended, but interest is at an all-time high thanks to a new podcast looking into the making of the show. Because of this, there’s been a glut of brand new interviews, including one with Mayim Bialik in which she got really candid about landing the role of Amy Farrah Fowler. Apparently, she really needed a job at that time.

We’ve heard a bunch of Big Bang filming stories of late thanks to Jessica Radloff’s podcast. My personal favorite was learning Stuart Fails To Save The Universe’s Kevin Sussman nearly had landed the Howard Wolowitz role over Simon Helberg. Second to that though is Mayim Bialik’s recent admission she was desperate for the Amy role despite having never seen an episode of the Chuck Lorre sitcom prior to auditioning.
