"Young Sheldon" Characters Could Someday Show Up on "The Big Bang Theory"

The only talent crossover between "The Big Bang Theory" and "Young Sheldon" is Jim Parsons, who lends his voice as a narrator to the freshman spin-off about a pint-sized Sheldon Cooper.

But if the producers have any say, grown-up versions of kid characters on "Young Sheldon" may someday appear on TBBT.

“There are young people in young Sheldon’s life we may someday meet as adults,” executive producer Chuck Lorre told reporters Wednesday.

“We are all in love with young Billy Sparks [Wyatt McClure]. To see him walk into Pasadena would be a thrill if we get that right.”

Lorre even admitted they talked about creating an adult version of Georgie, Sheldon’s older brother played by Montana Jordan, for TBBT.

And the dream guy to play him? “Matthew McConaughey!” quipped Lorre.

But Lorre dismissed any notion of a full-scale crossover night between the two CBS comedies. “I don’t think we are that organized. You have no idea of the chaos behind the scenes. That kind of coordination is not possible.”

It’s also unlikely "Young Sheldon" will feature lots of guest stars who are often featured on TBBT. “You have to remember this show takes place 30 years ago,” says executive producer Steve Molaro.

“It’s a smaller world that we live in, Houston,” added Lorre. “It’s not likely a Nobel prize-winning scientist will come through.”

If they want to do that, they'd better hurry. TBBT isn't going to run forever.

Speaking of weird crossovers between characters on the two series, "Big Bang Theory" fans might look at Young Sheldon's Dad and think he looks strangely familiar to them. Well, it's true! Here's where you might have seen him:

Actress Vernee Watson has appeared numerous times in the Big Bang Theory and once in Young Sheldon playing the character of a nurse. She appeared in the very first episode of The Big Bang Theory, the peanut reaction episode from season 1, the robot hand episode, the episode where Sheldon's barber is in the hospital. In Young Sheldon still a nurse this time in Texas she makes an appearance in the episode where Sheldon's father has a heart attack.

That would be the same Vernee Watson that once played Washington's girlfriend on "Welcome Back Kotter". So in the last 40 years, you could say she went from "Boom Boom" to "Big Bang". I call that progress!
