The Big Bang Theory

Stephen Hawking returned to CBS' " Big Bang Theory " on Thursday night for a somewhat surreal cameo -- the renowned physicist became locked in an intense game of Words With Friends against the notoriously competitive Sheldon Cooper. Hilariously, Hawking turned out to be kind of a sore loser, giving up on the game until Sheldon let him win ... and then proving himself to be a sore winner too, by gloating over the victory. Naturally, Leonard wasn't terribly sympathetic. But the other big news of the episode came from Penny -- our struggling actress/waitress decided to start taking a college class. Watch out, geeks, there's a new brainiac in town. "The Big Bang Theory" airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. TV Replay scours the vast television landscape to find the most interesting, amusing, and, on a good day, amazing moments, and delivers them right to your browser. //feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~r/HP/Entertainment/~3/wWL6OWYI-gQ/big-bang-theory-stephen-hawking-video_n_2062119.html
