Bazinga Remix, Eye-Shuh goes Emerald, and Parsons on Sesame

Eye-Shuh Goes Emerald

Wil Wheaton, Stan Lee, and Leonard Nimoy all made appearances at this year's Emerald City Comicon. Working on the show's staff, one of the biggest Sheldon Cooper fans, and one of our favorite bloggers, was on hand to scribble down the highlights. Check out Eye-Shuh's recap of the 2010 Emerald City Comicon when you have the chance!

Elmo Causes a Conniption Fit

If you weren't sure if Jim Parsons had really made it to the big time, all doubt will be erased after we tell you this. Parsons will be appearing on Sesame Street for a "word-of-the-day" segment. Yes, he's gone "Sesame," proving his celebrity status once and for all. In addition, a new Sesame Street character created just for the segment will make a debut!

"He may have a conniption fit," said Parsons about his nephew, who will be attending the taping and will personally meet Elmo and Abby Cadabby.

Cue the Music

While a few "bazinga!" remixes exist, we were recently introduced to a very catchy version we think all of you will enjoy. Also, we located another video containing every Sheldon "bazinga!" that has appeared so far on "The Big Bang Theory." Have a look!

When Klingon Insults Aren't Enough--Evil Wil Wheaton Returns

Creepy Candy Corollary Part Deux?

WHEATON! WHEATONNN!

TV Guide is reporting that Wil Wheaton, Star Trek's Wesley Crusher and arch-nemesis to Sheldon Cooper during The Big Bang Theory's season three episode "The Creepy Candy Corollary," will be making a return to the show.

"Right now we're looking to see if he can come back to give Sheldon a chance to settle the score," said Executive Producer Bill Prady.

What we find equally (or perhaps even more interesting) is Prady's pursuit of a Leonard Nimoy appearance. Of course, some of you know our theory surrounding Sheldon's love life and Nimoy's potential involvement there, but it would be fascinating to see how his appearance might actually play out.

Research Lab -- Version 1.0

Want a better look at Sheldon's "the physics is theoretical but the fun is real" Research Lab game?

Life Magazine has an interesting close-up shot of the game's board and box as part of their showcase regarding last night's "Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Presents An Evening With 'The Big Bang Theory'."

If you're interested, WireImage also has photos of Jim Parsons, Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, and the rest of The Big Bang Theory's main cast from the event. What do you all think of Kaley Cuoco's "Pebbles-Dew?"

New Job For Sheldon's Mom

Laurie Metcalf, three time Emmy winner and "Mom" to Sheldon Cooper, has taken a role starring in the upcoming sitcom pilot "Strange Brew," according to Entertainment Weekly.

The character is described as the "newly sober" still-married matriarch of three children, all of whom work at a local brewery. The sitcom is set to run on FOX-TV though an air date is yet to be announced.

UPDATE: Our mistake. Wil Wheaton appeared in season three's "The Creepy Candy Corollary." Kripke was the target of Sheldon's revenge in "The Vengeance Formulation."

UPDATE II: Check out Wil Wheaton's attitude regarding his arch-nemesis return to The Big Bang Theory.

Jim Parsons Wins 2010 NAB TV Chairman's Award

This year's annual NAB TV Chairman's Award is to be delivered to Jim Parsons in part for his "laugh-out-loud" portrayal of Sheldon Cooper on CBS sitcom, The Big Bang Theory.

Parsons will be only the second to obtain the prestigious NAB Award, first given in 2009 to Kelsey Grammer for his work at splitting-sides in hit sitcom "Fraiser." Parsons will receive the award during this year's NAB Show Conference in Las Vegas during mid-April.

"His breakthrough performance has helped revitalize the sitcom genre," said Paul Karpowicz, NAB Television Board Chairman.

Sitcoms have felt the stinging axe of network executives over previous years where performance lags behind newer and frequently more popular formats such as "reality" television. Approximately 85 shows, most of them sitcoms, were canceled during the 2008-2009 season.

By all appearances, Jim Parsons and sitcom The Big Bang Theory have proven that sitcoms can still capture top spots in a network lineup. Currently the show garners almost 16 million viewers each Monday evening.

Many credit Parsons as the central reason for the show's success, and for good reason. Parsons has already seen nominations for an Emmy and a People's Choice Award, signaling that CBS might have some real gold on hand with the actor.

You don't have to tell that to Chuck Lorre, creator and producer of The Big Bang Theory, however.

"[Parsons] was so startlingly good when he read for the part that I asked him back to make sure he hadn't gotten lucky," said Lorre.

Jim Parsons (aka Sheldon Cooper) Gets Naked?

To fight cancer? You bet he (almost) does! 

In a brilliant and hilarious showcase of costume quick-change, Jim Parsons teased the camera with 30 different character portraits during a music video for StandUp2Cancer.org. From Goth kid to nearly naked swimsuit model, Parsons hammed it up for the non-profit in an effort to raise both awareness and chuckles like only he could. 

Parsons' SU2 video was written and directed by the Selwyn brothers who, you might already be familiar, also created the hilarious "White People Problems" video that went viral a short while back.

According to Parsons, filming of the music video took 12 hours and he got to keep some of the very amusing and sometimes slim-fitting costumes. Lucky him! Lucky Us!

Parsons is the most recent in a string of recent celebrity videos made for the anti-cancer organization, including videos from Rob Lowe and Renee Zellweger, but clearly his is pure gold. 

StandUp2Cancer uses funds raised to support investigatory science "dream teams" engaged in a literal fight against cancer. Money donated goes to these dream teams 100%--they keep nothing for overhead or expenses including for things such as the production of this fun-for-good-cause music video. 

That is as awesome as a nearly naked Jim! Which, by the way, is just a click-away below. Check in out!
