Kaley Cuoco Would Gladly Return to The Big Bang Theory
Cuoco revealed that if Chuck Lorre, the show’s creator, were ever to ask her to revisit The Big Bang Theory, she’d jump at the chance. “If Chuck Lorre ever called and asked me to do [Penny] one more time or something, I would say yes, 100%,” the actress shared enthusiastically.
The Emmy-nominated star reflected on the impact the role had on her career during a previous interview with PEOPLE: “I spent 12 years playing that role, and it really set off my career. I owe a lot to that character, to that show, to Chuck.”
She went on to describe her time on the sitcom as some of the best years of her life. “It was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. I love that character, and I always will,” Cuoco said fondly.

Though Matilda is still a toddler, Cuoco hinted at her natural inclination toward entertainment, reflecting the artistic roots of her household.
When asked about wedding plans, Cuoco admitted they haven’t started the process yet. “I and my fiancé, we want more kids. So, we have four furs,” she joked, referring to their shared love for their pets.
