The Big Bang Theory season 11: Bill Gates set to appear

The Big Bang Theory season 11 episode 2

Bill Gates is the latest big name joining The Big Bang Theory for a guest spot — though what makes his particular appearance a little bit interesting is whose story he is connected to.

Sources confirm that Gates is going to appearing in an upcoming season 11 episode as himself, and he ends up coming into the characters’ orbit thanks to a work function of Penny’s. When the guys figure out that he is around, they’re going to do everything that they can in order to meet him. Sure, this is mostly a variation on a story that we’ve seen in the past with some other pop-culture / geek icons, but we really don’t mind it. What matters here more than anything else is that this is another casting coup for the series and a chance to bring a notable name into an episode for promotional purposes.

The lineup of performers who have turned up on The Big Bang Theory over the years is nothing short of impressive — think in terms of LeVar Burton, Wil Wheaton, Katee Sackhoff, James Earl Jones, the late Carrie Fisher, Bob Newhart, George Takei, Steve Wozniak, and many more.

This episode should give everyone a little more of something to look forward to the remainder of the season. We know that there are a few loose ends that the series needs to tie together soon, including the wedding of Amy and Sheldon and also Bernadette’s pregnancy. The latter looks to be resolved sooner rather than later. Hopefully, there’s also going to be a chance to see a few more surprises in the finale and also entering the twelfth season. It’s possible that ends up the final season, so why not go for broke with great guest stars from now until then?
