“What had occurred was Jim Parsons had been in touch with Chuck Lorre over the hiatus week and had said he couldn’t come back and do anymore.” The King of Sitcoms, director Chuck Lorre, had always said that if anyone out of the cast left the Big Bang Theory, the show would have to end.

Subsequently, John Shaffner let the cat out of the bag, “Warner Brothers and CBS wanted to sign for about two more years.” Jim Parsons’ decision to leave the Big Bang Theory made everyone emotional including Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki.
“I was back in the office and I found out about this and I went down to the stage and I saw Johnny and Kaley in the comic book store and they were just hugging each other and crying.” Well, to face the facts, it made all of us cry!
