00:00Sheldon, everybody's listening.
00:02Well, of course they're listening. We're interesting.
00:04Unlike that guy.
00:06The worlds of Young Sheldon and the gang from the Big Bang Theory
00:09are set to collide with a December episode of Big Bang,
00:12which is in its final season, to feature a brief crossover
00:15with its CBS prequel show.
00:17Three of the stars of Young Sheldon, Ian Armitage,
00:19Lance Barber and Montana Jordan will make cameos
00:22as their characters on Big Bang.
00:24That's funny.
00:26Oh, he'd be like a puppy with a microscope.
00:29CBS and producer Warner Bros. Television are keeping details under wraps,
00:33but according to THR's Rick Porter,
00:35considering Young Sheldon takes place almost 30 years prior
00:38to the present-day setting of Big Bang, some sort of explanation,
00:41be it a dream sequence or a wormhole, might be necessary.
00:44OK, we need to set a few ground rules.
00:46Rules? Love em.
00:48Armitage plays the young version of Jim Parson's Sheldon Cooper,
00:51who starts attending high school at age 9 in his East Texas hometown.
00:54Barber plays Sheldon's dad, George, and Jordan is Sheldon's older brother, Georgie.
00:58Jerry O'Connell has played a grown-up George Jr. in a few Big Bang episodes.
01:02In addition to O'Connell's Georgie, Robert Wu has made an appearance in Big Bang
01:06as the grown-up Tam, Sheldon's childhood friend.
01:09Tam?
01:10It's been a long time.
01:13Not long enough to erase the sting of betrayal.
01:15And Laurie Metcalfe played Sheldon's mum, Mary, on Big Bang for years,
01:19before young Sheldon cast Metcalfe's real-life daughter Zoe Perry as the younger version
01:24of the character in the spin-off.
01:26He's real smart, but he needs to learn. He doesn't know everything.
01:29Parsons narrates young Sheldon as the adult Sheldon and is an executive producer of the spin-off.
