Jim Parsons was in New York “drinking coffee and watching the Today show like a good American” when he heard news of his Emmy nomination for his work as neurotic scientist Sheldon Cooper on CBS’ The Big Bang Theory. Meanwhile, his co-star Mayim Bialik was in Atlanta on a phone interview promoting World Breastfeeding Month and missed news of her first Emmy nomination for Parsons’ on-screen partner, Amy Farrah Fowler.
“I got off the phone and went to check if Kristen Wiig got nominated and was making my younger son a bowl of Cherrios and got the call,” an excited Bialik tells “I was so certain I wasn’t being nominated I had a phone interview.”
