Actor Richard Kind played Ira Rosenbloom on last night’s episode of Young Sheldon, titled A Pineapple and the Bosom of Male Friendship. Ira is a boyfriend of Sheldon Cooper’s (Iain Armitage) grandmother Meemaw (Sheldon’s nickname for his maternal grandmother Connie).

Sheldon was excited to learn that Dr. John Sturgis (Wallace Shawn) was coming back home after spending some time at a psychiatric hospital. But when Sturgis returned, he decided to break up with Meemaw and suggested that she could go out with her former boyfriend Ira “from the furniture store.”

Meanwhile, Sheldon was upset to learn that he won’t be seeing his beloved friend and mentor anymore because he was no longer dating Meemaw.

Meemaw went out to dinner with Ira, but it was clear that she still wanted to be with Sturgis. When Ira realized that Meemaw still wanted to be with Sturgis, he rejected her suggestion of a second date, saying he didn’t want his heart broken again.
