In the episode, Penny (Kaley Cuoco) reveals she is hosting Bill Gates at her pharmaceutical company, and her friends rightfully try to do everything they can to meet the Microsoft co-founder. You can see the ultimate moment in the trailer above, where a tearful Leonard (John Mark Galecki) eventually meets Gates and asks for a hug, but Gates instead asks if he needs a tissue.
Gates was interviewed about his appearance ahead of the episode and he remarked about how he can relate to the show. “It’s fun to have a show where people are allowed to be a little nerdy and smart, I can relate to it, so I was thrilled when I got the chance,” said Gates.
