Earlier this month we learned that Jim and Mayim Bialik were appearing in the finale, which airs on May 16 on CBS.

While on Today this week, Jim described the experience as “very weird. Also very beautiful” vi EW.

“Big Bang Theory was always a live-audience show and Young Sheldon is a single-camera show, and I got to do it with Mayim — we both played Sheldon and Amy from the series — and to do it in that situation, it was just different enough that it wasn’t creepy,” he reflected. “Like going like, ‘What are we doing here again?!’ Instead, it was really sweet. It felt like the nicest little coda to the whole experience, and I was very grateful that they asked us to do it.”
