Magician duo Penn and Teller will guest star on "Young Sheldon's" Season 5 finale.
In the episode, titled “A Clogged Pore, a Little Spanish and the Future,” 12-year-old Sheldon (Iain Armitage) struggles to cope with the first signs of puberty. Upon getting his first pimple, Penn and Teller appear as Acne Vulgaris and his silent sidekick.
This is a new role for Teller in TBBT universe as he previously guest-starred on "The Big Bang Theory as Amy Farrah Fowler’s dad, Larry.
“We thought it was a fun idea to personify the pimple, so we were thinking about who would be right for Acne Vulgaris,” series co-creator Steve Molaro tells TVLine.
“When we landed on Penn, he seemed so perfect, and it’s hard not to think of Teller when you think of Penn. Once Penn agreed to do it, we circled around to say, ‘How would you guys feel about doing it together, as Acne and Pus?’ They were very into it, and just a delight to work with from beginning to end.”
