Originally, the spanking scene was supposed to take place off-scene, with the audience only hearing the *slaps* and Amy's muffled enthusiasm. They had rehearsed it that way all week, but then Chuck Lorre decided to film the scene in front of the audience instead; Jim and Mayim first found out about the change at table read.
Jim Parsons: "Which I'm fine with, I don't mind spanking somebody. But I can't tell you how hard it was to, when you're concentrated on making a noise all week, it's like doing a radio play. Once the camera was on me and I realized I haven't worked at all on what my face or the rest of my โ I don't know how to handle myself during this," Parsons said on "Conan."
The actor explained how he was trapped in an endless cycle of laughing and then getting frustrated with himself for doing so. Luckily, his co-star was a champ throughout the many takes it took to get through the scene. During an interview with The Paley Center for Media, Parsons said of Bialik, "You have no idea how game this one is."๐
