Sheldon's Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech | The Big Bang Theory 

“Astronaut Howard Wolowitz.” Redemption!!!

“Is that Buffy the Vampire Slayer?” Focus, Sheldon. Focus. Hahahahaha!

The way that Sheldon calls not only Leonard, but Penny too, his dearest friends, always makes me cry. 😭

I love how she called Penny one of her two dearest friends in the world, even though he knew both Raj and Howard before that. Despite their quips, they grew to understand each other and become better people as a result. As much as Penny refused to “knuckle under” as far as Sheldon’s antics, their moments together (especially the soft Kitty ones) clearly brought them closer together.

When Sheldon introduced Howard as Astronaut he gave him the validation and recognition he earned and asked for. His was the most meaningful.

Be it the wedding vows or the acceptance speech Sheldon nailed it better than anyone else in the show ❤

Fun fact. This was the 1st time Penny was introduced with a last name the entire series. Her maiden name was never mentioned.

To understand this speech you have watch the series. This is the best ending a fan can ever imagine ❤

This has to be one of the best character redemptions I’ve seen

I love the Finale, great way to close out a great show. Sheldon changed the least out of the main group, even in the last two episodes he's no different than any other time in the show, I'd have thought the "star of the show" would have the most character growth but that's Howard imo

This is so sad I cried when I first watched this last episode

This was the perfect ending for the show

Inspiring, funny and touching at the same time. One of the best ending ever made. 😢❤

Definitely Sheldon's best moment and the most emotional scene is the the last episode

“Nothing could be further from the truth” Howard: *mouth agape* Holy shit hes admitting he was wrong

Sheldon acknowledging Howard hits really hard

James Joseph "Jim" Parsons (born March 24, 1973) is an American actor and producer. From 2007 to 2019, he played Sheldon Cooper in the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. He has received various awards, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series Musical or Comedy. In 2018, Forbes estimated his annual salary to be $26.5 million and named him the world's highest-paid television actor. Parsons made his Broadway debut portraying Tommy Boatwright in the Larry Kramer play The Normal Heart (2011). He has since returned to Broadway acting in the plays Harvey (2012), An Act of God (2015), The Boys in the Band (2018), and Mother Play (2024). In film, Parsons has voiced the lead character in Home (2015) and played supporting roles in Hidden Figures (2016), A Kid Like Jake (2018), Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019), The Boys in the Band (2020), and Spoiler Alert (2022). On television he was Emmy-nominated for playing Tommy Boatwright in the HBO film The Normal Heart (2011) and Henry Willson in the Netflix series Hollywood (2020). Early life and education Parsons was born at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston, Texas, and was raised in one of its northern suburbs, Spring. He is the son of Milton Joseph "Mickey/Jack" Parsons Jr. and teacher Judy Ann (née McKnight). His sister, Julie Ann Parsons, is also a teacher. After playing the role of the Kola-Kola bird in a school production of The Elephant's Child at age six, Parsons was determined to become an actor. He attended Klein Oak High School in Spring. Parsons points to a role in Noises Off during his junior year as the first time "I fully connected with the role I was playing and started to truly understand what it meant to be honest on stage." The young Parsons was heavily influenced by sitcoms, particularly Three's Company, Family Ties, and The Cosby Show. After graduating from high school, Parsons earned a BA degree in Theater from the University of Houston. He was prolific during this time, appearing in 17 plays in three years. He was a founding member of Infernal Bridegroom Productions and regularly appeared at the Stages Repertory Theatre. Parsons enrolled in graduate school at the University of San Diego in 1999. He was one of seven students accepted into a special two-year course in classical theater, taught in partnership with the Old Globe Theater. Program director Rick Seer recalled having reservations about admitting Parsons, saying, "Jim is a very specific personality. He's thoroughly original, which is one reason he's been so successful. But we worried, 'Does that adapt itself to classical theater? Does that adapt itself to the kind of training that we're doing?' But we decided that he was so talented that we would give him a try and see how it worked out." Parsons enjoyed school and told an interviewer that he would have pursued a doctorate in acting if possible: "School was so safe!.....You frequently would surprise yourself by what you were capable of, and you were not surprised by some things." Parsons graduated with a M.F.A. degree in acting from Old Globe Theatre/University of San Diego in 2001 and moved to New York. Parsons traced his family's history on TLC's Who Do You Think You Are? in September 2013, and discovered French heritage from his father's side. The French architect Louis-François Trouard (1729-1804) is Jim's sixth great-grandfather. Give peace a chance 🕊

What a high note to end the series on!

Damn, I’m always cry seeing this

The one time Sheldon is humble

That was freakin’ beautiful.

There could be honestly no better end to such a wonderful series. Astronaut Howard Wolowitz and their children will be both smart and beautiful are so so beautiful❤❤❤❤

I think the best part of this is how despite putting Howard down for so much of the show, in this moment he chose to lift Howard up. Howard doesn't have a Doctorate, but Sheldon still made the concious decision to use the title of astronaut so he could be part of the line of prestegious titles.

Sheldon finally apologies to all his friends, especially his wife and a girlfriend Amy. He released a bad person from the start to good person in the end❤🎉😊

Buffy: Just to be clear, it isn't the date. Raj: Yeah, I know. Buffy: Then why did you holding my hand? Raj: I don't know.🤣🤣🤣👱🏻‍♀🧛🏾‍♂🧛🏾‍♀👱🏻🧛🏾🩸🩸🩸⚰⚰⚰🌕

That was beautiful😊

What does self-centered mean?😂

A almost cried

Where’s tam:(

The shark is in the rear view member.

Stupid finale; it has a FALSE sense of closure/conclusion. This show should have ended after seven or eight seasons, and it dragged on for too long and that’s why it sucked. I hate how they ruined Penny‘s character and turned her into another version of Bernadette. Seriously, they treat their spouses like shit and it mostly simply because they consider themselves more attractive, and they make more money. I personally don’t think Bernadette is a good representation of women in science, because she acts like a nerd but he’s a total bitch. I honestly can’t imagine her being bullied as a teenager, which she claimed happened to her.

(Pilot) Leonard: Our babies would be smart and beautiful.🤣🤣 (Final) Sheldon: Their babies would be smart and beautiful.😁😢

“Howard, Bernadette, Raj, Penny, Leonard I apologise if I haven’t been the friend you deserve but I want you to know in my way I love you all”

This scene ALWAYS makes me cry. It shows just how far Sheldon has come from the beginning of the show

Amy’s tiara will never get old. It should be a national treasure.

Despite the fact that he spends most of the show being obnoxious, this is a real redeeming moment for him. It was a great way to end the show.

Stuart the comic book store owner was again not included 😅

Okay, but finding out you're about to be grandparents during someone's Nobel Prize speech is kinda awesome though. Dr. Sheldon Cooper for the win.

The Young Shelton ending made this ending even more touching.

always warms my heart when sheldon finally acknowledges howard as not some bum engineer like sheldon always did but an astronaut, if u didn’t cry during this scene youre heartless lmaoo

A literal perfect scene and example of character growth. Also if you think this scene is beautiful, then i recommend watching the table read for this scene.

I wish i could also listen to that selfcentered speech he prepared. He might have mention Dr Sturgis for example...

My favourite part about this scene is Amy's expressions as Sheldon is speaking. Just perfectly done

"But I'd like to set it aside." *"Yeah!"* *"Woo!"* 😂😂😂😂

That is how you finish a series. Bravo 👏

Lesson 101 on how to End an incredible series beautifully ❤

I actually came back here just to cry... 😢 😭 😿 😢

Is That BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER? 😂

I noticed but leonard just looked so done. Even before the baby announcement he just looked so defeated with everything

*they were Real tears! Not just a show!* 💡

I want to say thank you for this serial and particular this final speech. That's a huge growth of Sheldon's character and his ground shaking and inspiring change. I cannot express how many emotions I felt and I was on the brink of crying knowing for a fact that I will never experience such supportive group of friends. Again thank you for this gift.

I wonder if Sheldon is going to give a similar speech in the final episode of Young Sheldon when he receives his PhD from East Texas Tech and his entire family, along with Tam, Paige, and all his professors are there to see him go on from there.

1:46 Amy looks so touch, like watching her non-functional boyfriend become an exemplary husband.

This was a terrific series. The creators deserve a prize.

Awwwwwwwww Sheldon that is an Adorable and a Beautiful Speech 🥰😘💖🩷👍🏻💯🔥❤️😍You are the BEST and the COOLEST 👍🏻💯🔥and that is why I love The Big Bang Theory............It is Awesome and a Cool Show👍🏻💯🔥😎😊😁

I think this episode is set some months in the future. I assume it's set on December 10, 2019 because the Nobel prize is always awarded on December 10

Wow sheldon you nailed it.

Seeing this on E4’s original broadcast felt so surreal, legit one of TBBT’s greatest moments 💙

It Be Funny If He Asked Buffy The Vampire Slayer To Stand Up, One More Nerd Moment Before The Series Ends

oh, relax; there's no way her parents watch the nobel acceptance ceremonies

And THAT is how you end a great series!

Kaley Cuoco’s tears was not scripted

best line of the speech for which I listen it on loop: "I was under the misapprehension that my accomplishments are mine alone, nothing could be further from the truth"-Hats off to Jim Parson for this.

Interestingly for me Sheldon told everybody to stand up in the opposite order I like them. This is the order I like them: 1 - Leonard 2 - Penny 3 - Howard 4 - Bernadette 5 - Raj

And you think that can make up for years of psychological abuse? Get back to me after I dry my tears, and I'll let you know as soon as you send me your calculations on a feasible plus-or-minus window of either forgiveness or entropy. Say what? Goodnight, Gracie.

Still makes me tear up a little

Dammit, not me here in 2024 watching this with misty eyes (who is cutting the damn onions!?), and thinking now I have to go watch the whole series again!

Kaley was really having trouble holding it together.

Astronaut Howard Wolowitz had me 😭😭

Should of had Buffy stand up too. Wasted opportunity. 😂

This was greatest TV speech of all time. Great job, Sheldon. A+.

It is not Sheldon if he doesn't poke fun of his friends sarcastically!! 😂😂🤣🤣

I have not seen this episode. I was waiting for a Bazinga moment of some sort.

Why are people getting so emotional at his speech? I don’t see it

Still the greatest ending to any show

Emotional moments aside, it’s hilarious to think that within the BBT universe there’s a Nobel Prize speech that just randomly includes “Is that Buffy the Vampire Slayer?” in it.

Amy wore her tiara❤❤

🥺🥹🥹🥹 Geography is no science ✅ 😍🤩🤭🫡🫡🫡. Oh Doc Doc Sheldon - you are so cute and huggeble 🫦🎀💅💕🌸💞💓💘🎀👛🩷🎟️

Best speech ever

I came here & watched this right after watching the last episode of Young Sheldon 😭 😢 So emotional! Gotta stop crying now 😂🥲

Where are his family

i can't believe the swedish government actually awarded him the nobel prize

Sheldon should have lost the Nobel to Leslie or even better, to Leonard for all those years of abuse and belittling.

Still bringing tears...

His speech was perfect, and in a way... Just like sheldon.

They should have done the speech without any of them to truly see the consequences of his actions and realizing far too late what he lost. The ending could play the same just without shelly. You can see it but leonard raj and Howard dont look happy

Hi The Big Bang Theory Hi Leonard and Penny

The best ending to a TV series ever !

Congratulations on winning the noble Prize, Sheldon, and Amy 🎉.

Y'all should watch the table read for this scene, it's a tear jerker.

They made literally zero effort to cast a believable Swedish Royal family….

Spoiler am not yet there

Brilliant scene unbelievable ending too bad it couldn't go on❤🎉

Large Bang Theory

Astronaut.......

O love him

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As good as this scene is, it could’ve been better and more realistic. Throughout the episode Sheldon treats everyone like dirt to the point where they say they’ll be leaving. They forgive him for no reason but I think it would’ve been better if they didn’t and Sheldon goes on stage alone. He’s about to make his big speech about himself when he looks at the audience and see there is no there for him. Sheldon at that moment FINALLY realizes how important his friends are to him and how they helped him along the way. He changes the speech the way he does in the og version but ends it by saying he wishes his friends were there so he could tell them all of it in person. And right when he says that one of them makes a noise and he sees the gang in the entryway, having heard all the wonderful things he said about them and how he truly loves and cares for them. Imo that would’ve been more powerful and a must better finale to this show
