The 38-year-old spilled the beans in a sit-down with TV Line

That had to be one of the biggest audience reactions ever, I imagine. Oh my God, they screamed. We just sat there for 10 minutes while they were cheering and clapping. I had chills. I feel like I’m a viewer of the show too, so I was excited. 

This wasn’t the only scene to get such an explosive reaction. Cuoco reflected on Penny and Leonard’s engagement, saying the audience had been waiting a long time for it and responded just as loudly. The Cali-born actress alluded,

Our engagement was huge too. I really wanted that to happen, too, for ‘Lenny,’ for Leonard and Penny.

For Kaley Cuoco, acting on The Big Bang Theory wasn’t just about delivering her lines. She felt connected to the show as a viewer, rooting for key moments like the ‘Lenny’ relationship, proving that even those on screen can get wrapped up in the excitement.
