Other guest stars include <strong>Kathy Bates, Mark Hamill<\/strong> and<strong> Laurie Metcalf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Wheaton spoke about the episode and his part in it. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to spoil anything, but I will tell you that everything does not know exactly the way you expect it to go,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I think it will be very satisfying for everyone who&#8217;s watching.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wheaton&#8217;s character is &#8220;really excited to be part of the wedding,&#8221; explained Wheaton. &#8220;It&#8217;s one of the very few times that the Wil Wheaton who I am in real life and the Wil Wheaton who I play on <em>Big Bang Theory<\/em> really overlap into almost a perfect circle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So what is it like to play himself on the show? &#8220;It took me a long time to get used to playing a version of myself,&#8221; said Wheaton. &#8220;I had a great conversation with Mark Hamill about this, because Mark is playing a version of himself as well. He was saying, it&#8217;s hard to wrap your head around playing a version of yourself because you almost feel like, I am giving my actual real-life endorsement to the things that the character version of is saying and doing, and that might not necessarily be the case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wheaton is &#8220;geeked out,&#8221; to be sharing the screen with his fellow guest stars. &#8220;It was so exciting to be there with all these amazing people. The thing that I didn&#8217;t expect, and I&#8217;m so glad I didn&#8217;t take for granted, is that everybody was really excited to be there with us. I think it&#8217;s a really special episode. The script is really good, [and] it&#8217;s got this great balance of humor and warmth in it. But just to be there on the set with these phenomenally talented actors and comedians was one of those &#8216;I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m really getting to do this&#8217; moments that I&#8217;ll cherish for the rest of my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Big Bang Theory: The Bow Tie Asymmetry<\/em> episode will air tonight at 8 PM on <em>CBS.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight, The Big Bang Theory will show its season finale, where two characters will finally&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48345,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[5438,2906,2452],"class_list":["post-48344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-hamill","tag-the-big-bang-theory","tag-wheaton"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false],"large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-slider-full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-featured":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WheatonCBSBBTWashPost051018.jpg",580,225,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast &amp; Crew","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48344"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48346,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48344\/revisions\/48346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
