Kaley Cuoco Failed Her First Auditions
When Kaley Cuoco first auditioned for “The Big Bang Theory,” the show was called “Lenny, Penny, and Kenny.” She auditioned twice and lost the role of Katie to Amanda Walsh. When Chuck Lorre showed to pilot to CBS, they hated it, so he re-worked it. The show’s name changed, and Katie turned into Penny, paving the way for Cuoco to come onboard.
