Like all of us, she\u2019s Googled herself. She shows off photos of her three dogs like they\u2019re her children (heck, she even named her production company after one). She\u2019s often the first person at the party and the first to leave, even when she tells herself to \u201cbe cool.\u201d And yes\u2014even she occasionally gets starstruck. But the difference between us and her is this: She\u2014and she alone\u2014has the distinction of being the second-highest-paid female in television, on what will be the longest-running multicamera series ever, CBS\u2019 The Big Bang Theory. And as that series approaches its end, this happy-go-lucky star reflects on the show that created her career. <\/p>\n<p>When we meet the 33-year-old actress in Encino, Calif., for coffee on Oscar Sunday, she has shot 18 of 24 episodes for Big Bang\u2019s 12th and final season. The end is imminent, and though her disposition is sunny, reality is starting to sink in. <\/p>\n<p>Is she glad? Hell no! The Big Bang Theory cast is her family, and this has been her life for 12 wonderful years. But as this self-proclaimed realist knows, nothing can last forever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel I go through these waves of depression about it,\u201d she admits. \u201cIt\u2019s been like a death. It\u2019s hard to let go of something I\u2019m so used to, that\u2019s been a part of my life for so many years. It\u2019s very bittersweet. It\u2019s a weird mental thing; I\u2019m very excited for the future, but it\u2019s like letting go of a comfort blanket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuoco can\u2019t help but tear up as she thinks about cutting ties with alter ego Penny, a one-time aspiring actress and Cheesecake Factory waitress-turned-pharmaceutical sales rep from Omaha, Neb. She is the lone relatable voice on a show rife with scientific references and sometimes incoherent nerd jargon, a refreshing foil to geeky Caltech physicists Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), the (now-not-so) new neighbors she befriended after moving into a Pasadena, Calif., apartment complex, as well as their supersmart yet socially challenged friends: aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg), astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar), physicist Leslie Winkle (Sara Gilbert), neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik), microbiologist Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch) and comic book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman). <\/p>\n<p>Many things have changed, yet they\u2019ve also stayed consistently the same since the show kicked off with a bang on September 24, 2007. After nine seasons of makeups and breakups, the unlikely couple of Penny and Leonard tied the knot. Each of the leads has settled down. The late, great cosmologist Stephen Hawking has shown up not once, but twice. The apartment elevator still isn\u2019t working (a running gag, as it hasn\u2019t been operational since 2003, four years before the series started).<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>With each passing year, the power of the Bang kept increasing. Ratings steadily climbed from 8.3 million viewers in the first season to almost 19 million viewers per episode in its 11th. The series, created by \u201cKing of Sitcoms\u201d Chuck Lorre (Grace Under Fire, Cybill, Dharma &#038; Greg, Two and a Half Men) has been nominated for 46 Emmys, including four nods for Outstanding Comedy Series, and 216 Golden Globe nominations. The Big Bang Theory has earned a firm and undeniable place in television history. <\/p>\n<p>The show would likely have gone on as well, so when Lorre, WBTV and CBS made a joint statement announcing the cancellation on August 22, 2018, the decision was met with surprise and confusion.<\/p>\n<p>Cuoco says that the cast, too, was blindsided. \u201cThe way it happened was a little bit shocking,\u201d she confesses. \u201cWe found out as a group. We all just assumed we were going to try and make it work, but this group is really all for one and one for all, and it doesn\u2019t work unless it\u2019s all of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the surprise of what the decision was, we\u2019ve all come to terms with it in our own way,\u201d she adds. \u201cI\u2019ve definitely accepted it now; it had to end at some point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But did it need to end now? Although Parsons said, \u201cIt feels like we\u2019ve chewed all the meat off this bone,\u201d it\u2019s a question Cuoco still grapples with. \u201cThere\u2019s a part of me that loves that we\u2019re ending and still on top, especially with the way television is going now,\u201d she says. \u201cOur show is considered not very modern\u2014things have changed in this era of streaming and Netflix\u2014but people still tune in, and it feels good that we\u2019ve kept this classic going for so long. We might be the last of its kind; there\u2019s not many [shows] that have done what Big Bang has done. Part of me thinks that we could have done another three years and been fine. [But] I also don\u2019t want to be walking with a cane in the show or be in a wheelchair. We need to stop at some point; we\u2019re all getting a little bit older.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the show is shot in front of a live audience\u2014another golden oldie of the sitcom age\u2014it could have made things a little dicey given that its finale is going to be so emotional, but producers solved that situation by deciding to pre-shoot the final episodes. The show will also be filmed in front of the audience as usual, which, says Cuoco, \u201cis smart, because I think we\u2019re all going to be bawling our eyes out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, she doesn\u2019t actually know what is going to happen in the six final episodes. \u201cI have no idea, and [the writers] don\u2019t know, either,\u201d she notes. \u201cThey\u2019ve been very honest with us. It keeps on going in different directions, but there must be some tears coming because they wouldn\u2019t be having us pre-shoot so much otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pre-shooting is wise for a variety of reasons, the foremost being that Cuoco wants to pay homage (without tears) to the character she\u2019s had to become. After having played Penny for more than a decade, Cuoco couldn\u2019t help but to absorb some of her personality, and vice versa. \u201cI think after 12 years, you do start to morph a little bit in your character,\u201d she explains. \u201cMine is the most relatable role on the show. She\u2019s so sweet and honest with the guys\u2015she can make fun of them today because she\u2019s in on the joke. Hell, she married one of them. She\u2019s been the audience\u2019s view for so long: These guys are outcasts, and they\u2019re also smarter than everyone else; we can\u2019t relate to a person like that. Penny walked in right from the beginning and didn\u2019t care or judge them. She was the outcast in a way. She was the one who wasn\u2019t really accepted in their group. Now, after so many years, everyone has evolved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That translates as much to the portrayers as it does the characters they play. As the seasons have progressed and the cast has transformed from friends to family, their relationships have shifted. \u201cThe first few seasons, primarily 1 and 2, we went out every week. Me and the guys had dinners, cocktails\u2026 we were always celebrating. Johnny was the head honcho of that; he had people over to his house constantly. Then a few seasons in, it became dinners, not too late. Now, with people married and with kids, it\u2019s coffee and tea maybe at work. It\u2019s like family. You don\u2019t see family for a while, but it\u2019s the same when you sit down with them. Life has definitely changed; our personal lives have just changed. We have a comfort level that you just can\u2019t buy. We\u2019ve earned that now after so many years, and we just love each other\u2026 but we\u2019re definitely old now,\u201d she laughs. <\/p>\n<p>The series even withstood her real-life relationship with Galecki, a romance they kept secret for two years that fizzled out right as their on-screen affair was heating up. \u201cWe weren\u2019t weird, which is what was weird; it was a mutual breakup, and you can rarely say that. Johnny and I were friends first, then obviously we dated. When we broke up, it was funny because that was when our relationship on the show was hot and heavy. There were a lot of bed scenes. We were a little like, \u2018We were trying to end the relationship and it kept falling back in.\u2019 We got over it really fast, and we\u2019re closer than ever now. It could have gone either way, and I was really proud of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not that this is anything new: The Three Musketeers sentiment of all for one, one for all has applied to the entire cast from the very beginning. It\u2019s why she and Galecki were able to put aside any ambivalence for the greater good, and truthfully, it\u2019s why she believes the series has worked so well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the beginning, from the first season, we always said that no matter what happened, we were a team. We wanted to make sure our teams [managers, agents, publicists] knew that we were a team,\u201d she says. \u201cWe were almost the same person from the beginning. No secrets. We just said, \u2018We\u2019re the same, we\u2019re going to answer you the same and we\u2019re not coming against each other.\u2019 We have always been on the same page, through negotiations and whatever else was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That meant that she was paid the same as Galecki and Parsons from the get-go. \u201cI was ahead of the curve on that,\u201d she maintains. \u201cThere was never a question of not getting the same [pay as Johnny or Jim]. There wasn\u2019t even a conversation\u2015that was just how it was. I didn\u2019t have to fight for it. When I say that, I mean it was, \u2018This is what we\u2019re doing, and we did it.\u2019 I feel very lucky that I got my foot in the door then. Now, I feel it will never be a question for me, either. If someone fights back to me about this, I know what I deserve: It will always be equal. It will never be a conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And in March 2017, she proved that statement as she \u2014along with original cast members Galecki, Parsons, Helberg and Nayyar\u2014each took a 10-percent pay cut to cover an increase in salary for newer female leads Bialik and Rauch.<\/p>\n<p>Why does she fight for what\u2019s right so strongly? Maybe it\u2019s because there\u2019s a bigger piece of Penny in her than she realizes, or maybe it\u2019s because she\u2019s grateful, still thanking her lucky stars that Penny came into her life at all, considering that the character fans see today was never meant to exist. Penny was first \u201cKatie,\u201d a neighbor who had mean-spirited fun at the Big Bang boys\u2019 expense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was originally another pilot that the show did, and I didn\u2019t get cast,\u201d Cuoco confides. \u201cShe lived next door to the guys, but the character was written very differently. She made fun of them, using them to her advantage. The pilot did not go well. CBS and Warner Bros. thought they had to make the character more lovable or the show was not going to go well, and the audience was not going to like her. They revamped the entire pilot, I came back in to read and got cast, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And she will always give credit where it\u2019s due: Everything she has today is because of Chuck Lorre. \u201cI owe everything to [him], and I will forever. He fought for me for that second pilot; he even wanted me in the first pilot, but it wasn\u2019t right at the time. [When the second pilot came] back around, he called me and said, \u2018This is the one, this is the time, it\u2019s been rewritten. This is for you.\u2019 I will always owe everything I do to the show. This is what made me who I am, and I\u2019m super-proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake, she\u2019s worked for her success\u2014as have her co-stars. \u201cI think the reason that Big Bang has been so successful is that we\u2019ve never taken a sigh of relief and slacked,\u201d she notes. \u201cIf you\u2019re five minutes early for work, you\u2019re late. Every single person\u2019s car is there [on the lot], and we\u2019ve been like this from day one. [Our success] wasn\u2019t an accident\u2015it was hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But The Big Bang Theory\u2019s personal brand of magic goes above and beyond work ethic: The synchronicity shared by cast and crew is something rare and special that\u2019s nearly impossible to recreate. This is a team that put hours of extra work into choreographing not one but three flash mobs (spearheaded by Cuoco and even choreographed by her sister, Briana) who have taken the time to sit with kids from the Make-A-Wish Foundation almost every other month for 12 years and who stand up for one another, financially and otherwise. Cuoco has shown her love for the group all along by playing unofficial set photographer, snapping over 2,000 Polaroids to create lasting memories for the group (which she plans on one day publishing as a book of memorabilia), and more recently, by purchasing little gold chains with \u201c12\u201d for the Big Bang girls who have stood by her side since day one.<\/p>\n<p>This is a closeness that can\u2019t be perfectly replicated, but Cuoco is hopeful that one day she\u2019ll find something that comes close. \u201cI had such a crazy, strange, wonderful experience on [8 Simples Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter with John Ritter from 2002-2005], and I never thought I\u2019d have that again, and then Big Bang came around,\u201d she says. \u201cI really don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever have that again. It\u2019s going to stand on its own, and I want to be careful because I don\u2019t want to compare everything to this\u2014and it\u2019s going to be really hard not to. We\u2019re leaving a really cool legacy, and the show has changed all of our lives. It\u2019s definitely changed mine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaley heeft een interview en fotoshoot gehad voor de mei 2019 editie van het tijdschrift Haute Living, bekijk de outtakes in de galerij.
