THE One Show’s Alex was less than impressed with co-host Jermaine Jenas’ question to The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco.
The American was a guest on the BBC chat show on Wednesday evening and the former Spurs player quizzed her about her next step after the popular sitcom came to an end.
The presenter posed the question to Kaley, 35, whose latest show The Flight Attendant was recently nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
Jenas, 38,asked: “The show was so big, were there concerns about your next step because, we’ve seen it with a few sitcoms, it doesn’t always go too well for the cast?”
As Kaley began to answer, a somewhat surprised Jones, 47, interrupted: “Who are you talking about, Jermaine?!”
Trying to spare his blushes, the Match of the Day pundit Jermaine explained: “I was just like throwing it out there”, but it didn’t stop Alex cringing.
The actress wasn’t phased as she continued: “No, I understand. Look, the show is so popular.
“When I started freaking out about the comparisons there would be or what my next project would be, I realised you can’t compare anything to Big Bang.
“As its own entity, I will never have that again. I won’t have that cast again, the money, the schedule, 12 years… I mean, all of it was insane.”
She added: “I was like, OK, if I can accept that nothing will compare to that – I can’t control what other people are gonna say about me – I knew my next project was gonna be for me and I was gonna leave that in its own place, if that makes sense.”
Last month Kaley revealed she was left ‘in a state of shock’ after an emotional conversation with The Big Bang Theory co-star Jim Parsons.
She recalled the moment the Sheldon Cooper star called a meeting to deliver the devastating news.
Speaking to Variety Kaley recalled: “Jim said, ‘I don’t think I can continue on.'”
He added: “I was so shocked that I was literally like, ‘continue on with what?’
“Like, I didn’t even know what he was talking about. I looked at Chuck: ‘Wow. I thought we were — I’m so blown away right now'”.
