He was, I&#8217;m sorry to tell fans, quite direct in his answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t believe I would do a reboot,&#8221;\u00a0Parsons told longtime hosts\u00a0Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar and their co-horts Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro. He then, helpfully, explained his reasoning, which makes perfect sense. &#8220;I can&#8217;t say I miss him, partly because, especially 12 years on a TV show where they&#8217;re writing for this specific actor, there&#8217;s a lot of me in that,&#8221;\u00a0Parsons clarified.\u00a0&#8220;Not the genius part, but there&#8217;s a lot of me in that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, Parsons said that he still carries &#8220;a lot about [Sheldon&#8217;s] qualities and just who he was&#8221; and &#8220;still [get[s] so much reaction to it.&#8221; Apparently, that&#8217;s pretty surprising. &#8220;The longer it goes on, I&#8217;m more and more surprised when people approach me about it,&#8221; Parsons admitted. &#8220;Not because I&#8217;m stupid, but because I&#8217;m like, oh, it makes sense. But I&#8217;m just not thinking it. But it&#8217;s always really sweet.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Parsons added that some people tell him the show has gotten them through some tough times:\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s very moving because when you take a job as a younger actor on a sitcom TV show, I don&#8217;t think many people think it can have some sort of bigger effect than that.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With all that said?\u00a0Parsons is right in his decision, and here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is Emmy winner Jim Parsons interested in returning to the extended &#8220;Big Bang Theory&#8221; universe to play off-putting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[146,85,46,411],"class_list":["post-520859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
