About this episode
Sheldon Cooper’s ultimate nemesis, Wil Wheaton, joins host Jessica Radloff to look back on his unforgettable run on “The Big Bang Theory” — including why he calls his time on set “the best days of my life.” Wil shares why he almost passed on the role that would make him a fan-favorite villain, how growing up a self-proclaimed nerd made him the perfect fit for the show, and the real-life connection he felt with Sheldon and the gang. Plus, he reveals hidden Easter eggs and behind-the-scenes details from his iconic Season 3 episodes that even longtime fans might have missed. All episodes of “The Big Bang Theory” are available on HBO Max.
