About this episode
Executive Producer Eric Kaplan worked on “The Big Bang Theory” for 11 seasons, and he’s sharing all kinds of secrets while breaking down the second episode of Season 2, also known as the Renaissance Fair episode. Eric reveals why one of the first questions he asked Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady while interviewing was whether Penny and Leonord ultimately would end up together, and he shares why that question landed him the job. He also listens to the first joke he wrote that made it into the show. Plus, Eric reveals the hilarious song he taught the “Big Bang” cast and crew.
