'Big Bang Theory' Cast Share Behind-the-Scenes Stories on 'Late Show' Following Series Finale!

Following the emotional series finale of The Big Bang Theory on Thursday, the cast of the beloved CBS sitcom joined Stephen Colbert on The Late Show!

Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik, Melissa Rauch and Simon Helberg all hit the stage on Thursday night (May 16), where they dished on the show coming to an end, answered questions, and shared some secrets about their time on set over the last 12 years.

One of the funniest moments came when Colbert‘s questions came “from an anonymous member of the group, for the entire group.”

“Did anyone ever have sex in their dressing room?,” one cast member fessed up before both Cuoco and Nayyar pointed a finger at Galecki. “You must have,” Cuoco and Nayyar said as Galecki slowly raised his hand.

Jim also talked about how the writers were under enormous pressure as they worked on the series finale: “You can’t get it wrong, because it’s yours – you’ve been writing it all this time,” he said, then adding, “Think of it this way, you can’t get it right! Someone’s going to hate it. We’ll find out tomorrow.”

Big Bang Theory's Melissa Rauch Welcomes First Child!

Big Bang Theory star Melissa Rauch has shared the news that she and her husband Winston have welcomed a baby girl!

“I am beyond over the moon to share that our beautiful baby girl, Sadie Rauch, has arrived and our hearts are bursting at the seams with love for her. I will never take for granted the difficult road it took to get here. To those on that road: I’m sending you so much love today and always,” Melissa wrote.

Earlier this year, Melissa bravely wrote about suffering a miscarriage in her past.

Congrats to Melissa and Winston on the wonderful news!

Big Bang Theory's Melissa Rauch is Pregnant with First Child

Melissa Rauch, who stars as Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz on the Big Bang Theory, has revealed she is pregnant with her first child with husband Winston Rauch in an emotional essay where she also revealed she suffered a miscarriage.

“Here is the only statement regarding my pregnancy that doesn’t make me feel like a complete fraud: ‘Melissa is expecting her first child. She is extremely overjoyed, but if she’s being honest, due to the fact that she had a miscarriage the last time she was pregnant, she’s pretty much terrified at the moment that it will happen again. She feels weird even announcing this at all, and would rather wait until her child heads off to college to tell anyone, but she figures she should probably share this news before someone sees her waddling around with her mid-section protruding and announces it first,’” the 37-year-old actress wrote in her essay for Glamour.

“The miscarriage I experienced was one of the most profound sorrows I have ever felt in my life. It kickstarted a primal depression that lingered in me. The image of our baby on the ultrasound monitor�”without movement, without a heartbeat�”after we had seen that same little heart healthy and flickering just two weeks prior completely blindsided us and haunts me to this day. I kept waiting for the sadness to lift…but it didn’t,” Melissa continued. “All I really know for sure is that this experience has changed me forever. I know it’s made me grateful for every moment of my current pregnancy, and I hope it will make me a better mother in some capacity when I can finally hold the child that has been in my heart in my arms. Although I can’t categorize these lessons of humble appreciation and gratitude as “reasons for this happening,” I will consider them a silver lining. (But to be honest, I would’ve much preferred to learn said lessons from either a fortune cookie or by watching a few heartfelt reruns of Full House.) So, to all the women out there who are dealing with fertility issues, have gone through a miscarriage or are going through the pain of it currently, allow me to leave you with this message: You are not alone. And, it is perfectly OK to not be OK right now.”
