The Big Bang Theory

Nix Bazinga! Alles über die Kultserie THE BIG BANG THEORYMillionen von Zuschauern auf der ganzen Welt und eine Fangemeinde, die The Big Bang Theory heute noch zelebriert - niemand hätte so einen Riesenerfolg anfangs erahnen können. Die sich stetig entwickelnde Serie über das Leben der beliebten Wissenschafts-Nerds und ihrer Freundin Penny gehört nicht nur zu den lustigsten TV-Formaten aller Zeiten, sondern auch zu den niveauvollsten. Wie wäre es sonst zu erklären, dass Professor Stephen Hawking, Steve Wozniak, Elon Musk und Bill Gates allesamt Gastauftritte absolvierten? Nicht zu vergessen Comic-Ikone Stan Lee und Raumschiff Enterprise-Legende William Shatner.Die Autorin Jessica Radloff lernte alle Schauspieler während ihrer journalistischen Karriere kennen und entwickelte eine enge Beziehung zu ihnen. Vor zwei Jahren begann sie sowohl die Darsteller von Sheldon, Penny, Leonard, Raj und Howard zu interviewen als auch die der Nebenfiguren und die wichtigsten Mitglieder des Produktionsteams. Aus diesem Fundus von über 120 Stunden intensiver Gespräche kreierte sie eine aufregende und spannende Geschichte der Serie, erzählt von allen Beteiligten. Kultiger geht es nicht!
