Chuck Lorre’s name is synonymous with some of the most popular sitcoms on television over the years. Known as the ‘King of sitcoms’, the writer and producer’s works includeDharma and Greg, and his two big blockbustersTwo and a Half MenandThe Big Bang Theory,both of which had a hugely successful run on television.
Being a veteran in this niche field for years now, Lorre has constantly heard criticisms targeted towards sitcoms and their relevance in the future. But as far as the creator was concerned, these opinions did not hold water as he believed firmly that the genre wasn’t going to disappear anytime soon.
Chuck Lorre Is Confident That Sitcoms Are Here To Stay
The success ofTwo and a Half MenandThe Big Bang Theoryamply proved that Chuck Lorre was always meant to be a sitcom creator and writer. With other notable shows likeYoung SheldonandBookie, he has proved that he is completely worthy of his moniker, ‘King of sitcoms’.
Despite being a veteran in the field since the 80s, Lorre confessed toThe Wrapthat he had constantly heard from various corners that the sitcom was dying and will no longer stay relevant through generations. But the creator revealed that the genre proved everyone wrong by constantly reinventing itself.
And then somebody comes along and does something wonderful with the form. Suddenly, it’s a genuinely legitimate form again. I’ve seen the obituary too many times to think that it’s for.

Season 2 will also see Charlie Sheen back in a more significant role after his guest appearance as himself in the 1st season.
Chuck Lorre Fondly Remembered These Famous Guest Cameo Moments
The eccentric Sheldon Cooper and friends contributed to some of the country’s brightest minds in the popular sitcom,The Big Bang Theorythat went on to win audiences’ hearts, thanks to creatorChuck Lorre. The show which was based on the lives of brilliant science geeks who awkwardly navigate social life, also saw many real-life scientists and technological pioneers making cameo appearances.
On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the show in 2022, creators Lorre and Bill Prady went down memory lane and reminisced about many unforgettable experiences on set involving these real-life celebrities. One of them included Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak who made a guest appearance in the 4th season.
But Wozniak’s association with the show did not end with just his cameo in this episode. Speaking toEW, Lorre recalled how the tech mogul made himself comfortable on set and graciously spent time with the cast and crew even when the cameras were not rolling.
Steve actually came back and visited like five more times after he filmed his episode. He’d come by and just hang out.

Apart from Wozniak, the series also saw Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and the great Stephen Hawking making appearances, along with other prominent figures from the tech and science world.
