About this episode
The one and only Simon Helberg joins host Jessica Radloff for a nostalgic look back at his 12 seasons as fan favorite Howard Wolowitz. Simon reflects on his unforgettable on-screen — and real-life — bromance with Kunal Nayyar and shares how Howard began to evolve once his relationship with Bernadette took center stage in Season 3. Plus, he reveals his first impressions of Melissa Rauch and opens up about what it’s like watching his old “Big Bang” episodes now through the eyes of his own children. All episodes of “The Big Bang Theory” are available on HBO Max.
