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.

  You think people were tuning in for humor??
  Everybody with a Y chromosome showed up to check out Wrangler Jane. [google.com]

  ...and while not very funny, it was instructive.
  Before Corporal Agarn, it never occurred to me to whack somebody with my hat when they got loopy.

  Fair enough, but I'd argue that:
  1. Barbara Eden [gettyimages.com] on I Dream of Jeannie was much hotter;
  2. IIRC, Abbott and Costello had the hat-beating thing down long before F-Troop.
