'The Big Bang Theory’ and ‘The Audacity’ star Simon Helberg joins the show. Over enchiladas and guacamole, Simon reflects on ending ‘The Big Bang Theory’ after 12 years and starring alongside my dear friend Lucy Punch as a tech bro billionaire Martin Phister in the AMC series ‘The Audacity.’ We also talk about his early life: how formative his experience at Crossroads School was -- creating lasting friendships -- and how growing up at the Groundlings theatre influenced his love for comedy and performance.
