‘The Big Bang Theory’ Jim Parsons Talks Political Radio Gig And Sheldon Cooper Spin-off

"The Big Bang Theory" Jim Parsons has many feathers in his cap. The latest of which is winning the 2017 Golden Globes Favorite Comedic TV Actor and "The Big Bang Theory" winning the Favorite Network TV Comedy.

Before the prestigious trophy, his movie "Hidden Figures" was a tremendous success where he played a NASA engineer. His comedy show is doing well and might be renewed again for another season. Parsons has other projects on TV as a producer and creator.

ET reported that the 43-year-old actor wants to try his hand on radio tackling political issues titled "Jim Parsons Is Too Stupid for Politics." It will be about the political climate of the time. The title alone suggests that it will be a walk in the park for the versatile actor.

"The Big Bang Theory" Jim Parsons revealed that he loves to talk about the government but on a neutral ground, based on facts. The new gig is new to him, but he is not afraid because he said he can be stupid on the show. But kidding aside, Todd Spiewalk's boyfriend of 14 years has done an intensive study for the new job. It will be a weekly talk show for one hour.

Talking about his character's spin-off, a new face will take on the role. He has a piece of advice for the role player, "I would advise that actor to watch me as little as possible, and take that thing by the horns, and make it your own."

According to Variety, Jim Parsons will executive produce the spinoff along with Bill Prady. Chuck Lorre and show runner Steve Molaro will be on board as exec producers as well.

"The Big Bang Theory" Jim Parsons revealed that the spin-off has long been planned. It is expected to be an interesting character discovering how Sheldon Cooper grew up to become the nerd physicist.
