stepen Hawking was on Big Bang and I got
to imagine you did you get to meet
stepen Hawking I did I did get to meet
him and it was really it was so surreal
I I had done an impression of him in the
uh in the in the pilot and a few times
throughout the show and so you know we
had always mentioned him he'd always
been sort of obviously this dream guest
and they got him and he had shot a scene
at Caltech and he wanted to watch a run
through a rehearsal and he they asked if
it was okay with us uh for this genius
to come down and we of course said yes
and it was just so surreal they opened
the giant stage doors and he was like
silhouetted from behind and he had this
Entourage like a rock star it really was
it was like this man in a wheelchair and
all these cool British guys behind him
and they asked if we wanted to meet him
and they put out his hand and we shook
his hand and then I had to do this scene
where I did an impression of him for him
in front of and it's kind of that would
imagine that' be yeah I mean it's you
know he's he's severely disabled and I
am kind of making fun of his voice uh
you know
it's that kind of thing and and so I
have to do this thing where I in front
of him and it had to be I asked the
producers to clear it to make sure yeah
make sure that this is something he is
okay with I mean I didn't want him to
stand up and beat me no I
um I no I don't did not want to pick on
him yeah exactly he's brilliant and and
it's not fair I did the impression I my
heart was beating through my chest and I
stood up and saluted him after in the
middle of the scene and he smiled and it
was like the C it was really one of the
craziest all it all worked out he's a
huge fan of the show he is a huge fan
and and he really lit up when when he
got to meet Kaye from the show um and
uh and that
