Speaker 2: It's fairly commonplace for a successful TV actor to have
0:06
Speaker 2: to eventually say goodbye to a popular character they played
0:08
Speaker 2: for several seasons, but Jim Parsons is in rare company
0:11
Speaker 2: because he's had to do it twice with Sheldon Cooper,

Speaker 2: then provided the character and narration for and the prequel spinoff,
0:18
Speaker 2: Young Sheldon. Jim even made a surprise appearance in the
0:21

0:51
Speaker 2: maybe in the Next
