Simon Helberg reunites with his fellow "The Big Bang Theory" alums in an upcoming episode of "Young Sheldon".

Helberg is set to reprise his role as engineer Howard Wolowitz (in voiceover form) to tell the origin story of Sheldon Cooper’s complicated relationship with engineering on the Thursday, November 18 episode.

As part of Sheldon’s introduction to engineering, we also meet his first engineering professor played by Lance Reddick. Reba McEntire also guest stars in the episode.




“We love being able to explore the origins of Sheldon Cooper every week on Young Sheldon,” said executive producer Steven Molaro. “But it’s always extra fun when we’re able to incorporate Big Bang Theory Easter eggs into the storylines. Getting to work with Simon again to help explain Sheldon’s long hatred of engineering was a dream come true. Jim and Simon – even in voiceover on Zoom – didn’t miss a beat in their banter as Sheldon Cooper and Howard Wolowitz.

Plus, this episode sees the return of Reba McEntire and introduces Lance Reddick as Sheldon’s first engineering professor *– it’s absolutely one of our best episodes.”

How cute!

Hope they can do this with the other Big Bang Theory cast, it would be kind of cool.

The storyline concerning Reba's character was funny. If she had heard what Dale said to MeMaw over the phone concerning the way that her character looks now in her "birthday suit", would've been in a cast as well. :D :D :D

God bless you and Reba always!!!

P.S. Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but is it okay for a cast to get wet? Years ago, I heard a doctor say not to get them wet and so if that hasn't ever changed, how was a shower/bath even in the cards for Reba's character?
