This wasn’t just another day at work; it was the end of an era. As the 43-year-old shared on Instagram, wiping away his tears, "This morning was not an easy one. The final table reading for 'The Big Bang Theory.' So very sad. So very grateful." For over a decade, this CBS comedy has been a household name, and now, after 12 unforgettable seasons, it’s coming to a close on May 16.
