The Big Bang Theory’s Last Table Read Was So Heartbreaking, It Steals the Crown From Game of Thrones’ Final Read Through in One Regard
- The 'Big Bang Theory' cast’s final table read was deeply emotional and tearful.
- Kaley Cuoco and others shared poignant moments of their last filming days.
- While 'Game of Thrones' had its own subtle farewell, 'TBBT' displayed more visible grief.
As the final curtain fell on The Big Bang Theory, the cast’s emotions were off the charts. The show, which started in 2007, became a cultural phenomenon with its clever quips and lovable nerds. After 12 seasons and countless laughs, the cast faced their biggest challenge yet: saying goodbye.
It wasn’t just another day at work; it was a whirlwind of emotions—all caught on camera. As fans and the cast prepared to say their farewells, the atmosphere was thick with tears and nostalgia. It was a bittersweet moment, starkly different from the grand and dramatic table read of Game of Thrones.
The Heartbreaking Table Read of The Big Bang Theory
In a YouTube video, the cast of The Big Bang Theory was caught red-handed in the midst of their final table read, their faces drenched in tears. The emotional weight of the series finale was so heavy that it might have outdone Game of Thrones in one way: the sheer amount of crying. The cast really let their feelings show.
When it came to saying goodbye, the cast didn’t just act the part; they lived it. Kaley Cuoco, who played Penny, made sure to keep fans in the loop by sharing behind-the-scenes moments from their final days on set. From tearful selfies to heartfelt posts on Instagram, the actress’ updates were a window into the cast’s emotional farewell.
In one post, she showed off the last page of the script with the simple yet powerful words (via EW): “END OF SERIES.” Her caption, “Yea, didn’t sleep,” perfectly summed up the emotional chaos that followed. Kunal Nayyar, who played Raj Koothrappali, and Melissa Rauch, known for her role as Bernadette Rostenkowski, also shared emotions of their final table read.
They, too, were visibly moved. Rauch even shared a photo on Instagram showing the cast sitting with the show’s writers. It wasn’t just a final reading; it was a touching goodbye and a celebration of all the great times the show brought.
While Jon Snow and Daenerys’ last moments were certainly heart-wrenching, the raw, unfiltered emotion from the Big Bang cast took things to a whole new level.
Big Bang Theory‘s Open Tears and Game of Thrones‘ Quiet Farewell
While the farewell for The Big Bang Theory was filled with visible tears, the Game of Thrones cast had their own emotional moments. HBO released a trailer for their documentary (via YouTube) about the making of the final season, which gave fans a glimpse into Kit Harington’s teary-eyed table read.
Harington, who played Jon Snow, was seen breaking down as he read his final scenes with Emilia Clarke, who portrayed Daenerys Targaryen. The emotions were high, and the scene was heartbreaking, showing just how important the end of the show was.
Even though Game of Thrones had its own share of emotional farewells, the public displays of emotion were more restrained compared to the open weeping of The Big Bang Theory cast.
The last table read of GOT showed that while the actors were deeply affected, their emotions were more personal and less on display compared to the openly emotional scenes from the sitcom’s final table read. Both finales were monumental in their own ways, but the raw, collective grief from The Big Bang Theory is a standout moment in television history.
