The final scene from the Young Sheldon Season 2 finale showed fans what The Big Bang Theory cast looked like as kids. It was a poignant moment for the show, as it paid tribute to The Big Bang Theory following its final ever episode.
The series finale of The Big Bang Theory — including a cameo from Sarah Michelle Gellar — aired earlier in the evening. It put viewers in an emotional mood about the cast, which lent itself well to that Young Sheldon final scene.
As shown in the video below, Sheldon (played by Jim Parsons), Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Penny (Kaley Cuoco), Howard (Simon Helberg), Raj (Kunal Nayyar), Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), and Amy (Mayim Bialik) are all shown as kids.
Not only was this an important scene for the young character of Sheldon (played by Iain Armitage), but it also showed how much he had in common with the younger versions of the other Big Bang Theory characters.
