Director Nikki Lorre is back to talk about what host Jessica Radloff calls “one of her favorite ‘Big Bang’ episodes of all time.” In “The Vartabedian Conundrum,” Leonard tries to slow down his relationship with Stephanie before realizing that they are actually living together. Nikki recalls Sara Rue’s brilliance in the role of Stephanie and shares why her character wasn’t in any future episodes. Then, Nikki reveals how often her dad, co-creator Chuck Lorre, came to her to discuss the show’s storylines since she was the same age as the characters. Plus, Nikki shares whether she ever had a relationship in real life that made its way into the show’s storyline. You can watch all episodes of “The Big Bang Theory” on HBO Max.
