KUNAL NAYYAR AT CTV UPFRONTS FOR "THE BIG BANG THEORY"

Kunal Nayyar in Toronto - May 2012

Gotta love Kunal Nayyar! The Big Bang Theory Star is a great sport, having made multiple visits to Toronto to promote the acclaimed Comedy Series. Although he only visited us last year for the CTV Upfronts, Fans equally were happy to see him again this year, coming over to greet a line full of Fans individually before heading from the Event to go meet Network Executives at TIFF Bell Lightbox.

It comes as no surprise that CTV will be airing the sixth Season of the top-rated CBS Series this Fall, with new Episodes airing Thursday nights.

Nayyar signed a Photo for my Readers and if you love him like we do, all you have to do is click "like" on this Post at Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven on Facebook before July 1, 2012.  You should also be following on Twitter too. Good luck!

SIMON HELBERG, MAYIM BIALIK & KUNAL NAYYAR OF "THE BIG BANG THEORY" IN TORONTO FOR CTV'S 2011 FALL UPFRONTS

Cast members of the number Canada's number one-rated Show came to Toronto today to celebrate CTV's Fall 2011 Upfronts. Held at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, The Big Bang Theory's Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch were among many other Stars in attendance for the event, attended mostly by Media and Advertising Executives.  Anderson Cooper, Christina Ricci, Debra Messing, Kelli Garner, Wendy Cummings and many more flew into the City by surprise to help ring-in the festivities.

Only having visited last CTV's eTalk Live last Fall, Helberg and Nayyar had nothing but fond memories of Toronto.  Helberg in particular is a huge Fan of our v. own Tim Horton's Coffee.  Outside the venue, one Fan delivered him a true blue Canadian treat - a box of Timbits (Donut Holes), which drew a big smile from him.  "You're so sweet", he told her.  Helberg was only able to pose for one Photo and I was the lucky one!  Bazinga, Bitches!

THE CAST OF BIG BANG THEORY VISIT eTALK LIVE IN TORONTO

Jim Parsons, Kunal Nayyar and
 Simon Helberg at eTalk

BAZINGA! was the word of the day in Toronto as three cast members of the number one-rated program The Big Bang Theory flew in for a special taping of eTalk Live at CTV Headquarters on Queen St.  With its season premiere pulling in a stellar 3.3 million viewers in Canada, there was cause for celebration as lucky audience members were treated to Hot Dogs, Chips and Beverages.  Some even lined-up in the wee hours of the morning to get a close spot to the sitcom's stars Kunal Nayyar, Simon Helberg and recent Emmy winner Jim Parsons.

Sitting down for half an hour to chat with Ben Mulroney and Tanya Kim, the cast members revealed many interesting tidbits about the show like:

• the stairwell featured on the show is actually a decoy, and has three years' worth of Chewing Gum from star Johnny Galecki who was not in attendance today
• Nayyar who often is seen on the show sipping on his favourite libation, The Grasshopper, revealed that when filming they use a Dairy concoction mixed with green Food Colouring claiming it isn't v. delicious at all
• Kaley Cuoco who also wasn't in attendance today has a knack for memorizing Scientific terminology, but Parsons claimed that Cuoco and Galecki are the most likely to fumble their lines when filming.  Cuoco recently injured her leg.
• Nayyar actually is rather amazing at Ping Pong in real life, although his co-stars Helberg and Parsons claim he is unnecessarily dramatic in his exaggerated moves
• Parsons once was invited to a Ping Pong Tournament organized by Susan Saradon who heard he was great at the sport.  He claimed to have been extremely starstruck.
• Helberg laughed off jokes that he wears Boys' Size XL clothing on the show
• Parsons claimed not to know what a Cylon was until he researched it for his role, after Host Mulroney presented him with a Cylon Toaster - often seen on the show.
