Molaro divulged that Katey has been previously asked to guest in an earlier episode, but things didn't work out. Her name, however, continued to float around since she is well loved in the series. When the time to introduce Penny's mom felt right, her name immediately came up, according to Molaro.

Meanwhile, CBS Entertainment President Glen Geller recently shut down rumors that Season 10 will be the last for "The Big Bang Theory" primarily due to the superstar cast's non-renewal of contracts. He expressed confidence that the series will move past 10 seasons.

He also announced at the recent Television Critics Association summer press tour that he knows Warner Bros will make the deals with the stars, specifically Cuoco, Parsons, and Galecki. It was previously reported that the three make $1 million each per episode.
