Big Bang's Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco Reunite in a Commercial That Would Give Sheldon a Panic Attack
Our whole universe is in a hot, tense state right now. Thankfully, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki have reunited to give us something to smile about.
Six years after The Big Bang Theory's 2019 series finale, TV's erstwhile Leonard and Penny Hofstadter are together again in a commercial for Royal Kingdom. In the 60-second ad, Cuoco is looking forward to a good ol' fashion game night, but Galecki suggests they ditch their board games and play the aforementioned mobile game.

He and Cuoco proceed to chuck all their board games out the window, along with their credit cards (since the game is free), their internet router (since it doesn't require WiFi) and their TV (since the game is ad-free). And it was at this point that we realized Sheldon Cooper would be hyperventilating at the sight of all of their belongings getting tossed out on the lawn.
Cuoco and Galecki shared the commercial on their respective Instagram accounts Tuesday, with Cuoco writing: 'This was so fun to shoot! Back together with my buddy JG.'
In response, Galecki said: 'I adored this day with you, my dear. XO!' Watch the commercial below:

The Royal Kingdom ad marks Galecki's first acting gig since 2019. Following the end of Big Bang, he reprised his star-making role as David Healy in a pair of Conners Season 2 episodes — the last of which aired that October. Since then, his sole credit is the scripted podcast series 'The Cinnamon Bear: A Holiday Adventure,' which was released in 2021.
Cuoco, meanwhile, went on to star in Max's The Flight Attendant and Peacock's Based on a True Story, is currently attached to Kansas City Star, an HBO comedy from the Emmy-winning team behind Max's Hacks, and Vanished, a mystery thriller co-starring Sam Claflin (Daisy Jones & the Six). She recently reunited in New York City with fellow former co-star Jim Parsons; you can see that photo here.

Sarah Snook Doesn't Know How Cate Blanchett Would Turn 'Picture Of Dorian Gray' Into A Film, But Would Love To Help Her Try
Sarah Snook, who won a Tony Award for Best Performance By a Leading Actress in a Play for The Picture of Dorian Gray, is stumped about how it would ever be turned into a film. That's the aim of Cate Blanchett's Dirty Pictures, as Deadline was the first to report in 2024. The vision of the current stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel sees her playing 26 different roles in a highly stylized production, which took London by storm before heading to Broadway. More from Deadline Deadline's Tony Awards Live Blog Cynthia Erivo's Original Song Provides Lively Opening To Tony Awards As She Earns A Standing Ovation How To Watch Sunday's Tony Awards: Red Carpet, Preshow & Cynthia Erivo-Hosted Ceremony Asked for the latest on the Blanchett-backed film adaptation during an appearance in the Tonys media room Sunday, Snook replied, 'I have as much idea as you do about where that is.' She continued, 'I don't know how this gets turned into a film. It's a particularly complex piece to do as a theater show. I mean, dramaturgically it holds up and I think Kip [Williams, the show's director] would be an incredible director for that project. If she were able to take part in the film version, Snook added, 'it would be a dream come true, but who knows?' The Succession alum was asked about the theater accomplishments of its cast and creative team since the series wrapped its HBO run in 2023. 'It's such a special group chat,' she said. 'We're all big theater nerds deep down. It's been really nice to have that revealed and shared with each other.' The ritual of being a Tony nominee, and now winner, was a new experience for Snook. 'I didn't even know Tony season even existed!' she laughed. 'You end up seeing all of the people who are nominated with you for other shows. … It's really nice because you get to meet the person who is creating art at the same time as you are.'

The audience of the 2025 Tony Awards was in the room where it happened Sunday — and by 'it,' we mean a reunion of Hamilton's original Broadway cast.

Instagram Says Trial Reels Have Helped Creators Significantly Increase Their Reach
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. Instagram's trial Reels have been available for just on six months now, and IG is keen to get more creators trying out its audience sampling feature, in order to help boost content performance. As you can see in this example sequence, trial Reels are shown to a selection of users who don't follow your profile, which can give you early insight into the likely performance of your Reel. To be clear, trial Reels are not displayed to your followers, either in the main Feed or via the Reels tab. The idea is that this gives you an unbiased assessment of content quality, while also helping you potentially reach a broader audience. Which some have also used as a growth hack of sorts, in that you can get your content in front of a broader audience in the app by only showing your Reels to people who don't follow you. Within that, you can also re-post older posts as trial Reels as well, and some creators have found this to be an effective way to build their audience. Another element to consider. 'Approximately 24 hours after sharing a trial reel, you can view engagement data, such as views, likes, comments and shares. The more trial reels you create, the more insights you'll have to compare against other trial reels and the more understanding you'll have on what might perform best.' You're limited to 20 trial Reels per day, but outside of that, you can test and measure your initial Reels' response, which can then help to inform your content strategy. And for those who are using trial Reels, they have proven effective: 'After trying trial reels, 40% of creators started posting reels more often and of those who did, 80% saw an increase in reels reach from non-followers.' So it can help to guide your thinking on what to post, while you can also easily convert trial Reels into regular posts, which will then be shared with your followers. It could be a valuable tool in your IG strategy, and as Instagram notes, many creators are finding this a valuable tool for audience sampling. And IG clearly wants more creators to try it out. If you are thinking about adopting trial Reels, you need to have a professional account (though IG also says that some creators without a professional account may have access to trial reels as part of ongoing testing). You can activate a trial Reel in the publish element of the Reels upload process. Sign in to access your portfolio
