Melissa Rauch

[laughs] Well, the remake of Night Court, what's her face? The blonde from, uh-

That was, uh, Melissa Rauch

...

Big Bang.

of course, things are sometimes different in L.A. when you're an actor because people are used to seeing actors all over the place.

But I was at breakfast once with Regan Revard, who plays Missy, and Melissa Rauch from Big Bang, who plays Bernadette.

More people came up to Regan freaking out about Missy than Melissa for Bernadette.

And it was just because it was kids.

That's funny.

But, you know, as the series progressed, he m- meets a character played by Melissa Rauch-

Yeah

... falls in love.

Yeah.

Or Melissa Rauch could fill in for sure.

Yeah.

And I love it how, um, we're seeing that Leonard is in the apartment and there's a knock on the door, and [laughs] he opens the door and he goes, "Hey, lovebug," 'cause Penny's standing there.

I-- for a, an appointment? Are you, are you home? Can I, can I just pop in?" And I'd be like, "Yeah.

Oh, cool.

Big Bang

... uh, M- Melissa Rauch.

Yeah.

She played, uh, uh, Bernadette from Big Bang.

They set her, they set him up with Bernadette.

This was Melissa Rauch's first episode.

Yes.

They set Howard up with Bernadette.

Remember Joe Franklin? We opened up a comedy club in the back of Joe Franklin's in New York.

And Melissa Rauch, who ended up going on the Big Bang Theory and becoming like...

She was like my walker.

Because I would get these tourists to come.

[laughs]

You know, America has not had the joy of watching, uh, Melissa Rauch curse up a blue streak.

Um, and, and m- the fact that they finally get to embrace that and see her at her filthiest is just delightful.

I, I-
