In the inaugural episode of “The Official Big Bang Theory Podcast,” host Jessica Radloff is joined by the show’s co-creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre and former chairman of Warner Bros. Television Group Peter Roth. Chuck and Peter take us back to the very beginning as they discuss the original, unaired pilot. They reveal how they got a highly unusual second chance to create another pilot after the first one wasn’t picked up. Plus, they explain why they steered away from the risqué tone that was prominent in the first pilot and why they recast the role of Penny.
