The tech-loving characters on "The Big Bang Theory" are about to find themselves severely star-struck. The comedy series has booked Microsoft founder Bill Gates to guest star as himself in an upcoming episode, CBS and Warner Bros. tell CNN.
In the episode, Penny (Kaley Cuoco) will find herself hosting Gates at work, and her friends go to great lengths in their effort to meet the billionaire innovator. The episode is set to air in late March.

I skimmed thru a few episodes illegally uploaded to youtube (youtube wants lots of money to watch it legally) and its pretty weird, as if "that 70s show" consumed megatons of soy products and skated thru a STEM diploma and got STEM jobs. Or alternatively its "The Good Doctor" which is another weird show to skim thru, but with a sitcom laugh track. Its an old show almost Simpsons-age and old episode highlights on youtube are weird to watch because there's a lot of ancient pop culture comedy I vaguely remember from years ago, ah the laugh track is making fun of some Republican politician or whatever but I don't remember enough details to understand the joke. Then again, Hollywood thinks "the middle" is a documentary of every household not located in LA or NYC, which is also pretty funny.
