Did You Know That the Original Penny was Fired and Replaced by Kaley Cuoco

[Sedalia Dave]

Learned about this today.

 

The best Big Bang Theory episodes understand exactly what the show is and is trying to be, but its original pilot did not. The Big Bang Theory used to be a very different show, and it certainly was not a good one. The original Penny was fired, cast members weren't written in yet, and the whole thing almost didn't happen. This is a look at the original Big Bang Theory pilot and how it went so wrong, that Penny had to be fired.

Her name was Katie.

Find it odd that they fired Amanda Walsh rather than have her play the same character with a different personality.
