Melissa Rauch came a long way before landing the role of Bernadette on “The Big Bang Theory.”
“I was so grateful when [‘The Big Bang Theory’] happened,” Rauch toldBackstage.
According to Rauch, her role on the CBS show was only supposed to be a guest appearance.
Here’s a look at the stunning transformation of Melissa Rauch.
Soon, Rauch was given the opportunity to show off her comedy chops at her school’s talent show.
Speaking toConan O’Brien in 2012, the actress said she was quite the class clown.
As Rauch toldBackstage, writing quickly became essential to who she was as an artist.
However, their barely-there friendship didn’t stay that way for long.
Writing aside, Rauch is happy she met her soulmate so early on in her life.
One thing’s for sure these two will definitely have a lifetime full of love and laughter!
This resulted in a one-woman show called “The Miss Education of Jenna Bush,” starring Rauch.
Knowing this was her shot, she and Beigel decided to move to Los Angeles, California.
“That was essentially what got me out of waiting tables,” Rauch admitted toLinda and Drew Scott.
“The manager was like, ‘I love the show!
It’s awesome!’
and gave me a free pretzel.
I was so excited!”
However, when the show was canceled, Rauch apparently had to start paying for her pretzels again.
Years later, she and her husband even wrote a movie inspired by her experience (viaInterview magazine).
“I thought I was just gonna be here for a week,” Rauch toldTV Insider.
Her time in the spotlight was just taking off into stardom.
Her character dated Hoyt after his mother set them up to distract him from Jessica.
You may remember Summer as the one with the biscuits and the strange doll collection.
For Rauch, the show was a great experience as it was one of her first big roles.
Working with actors Jim Parrack and Ryan Kwanten was a “blast,” she toldTrue Blood Online.
“They were so warm and welcoming to me.
“I seriously loved everything about my time on the True Blood set,” she said.
She even had a funny experience with her hair and makeup team when she spotted a tiny hair piece.
“I said, ‘That’s the cutest hair piece I ever saw.
Are they clip-on bangs?'”
“Everyone started laughing.
Turns out it was something called a ‘merkin.’
It’s a hairpiece but not for your head!”
“Bernadette’s voice is very similar to my mother’s … except without the Jersey accent.”
Rauch revealed on “The Rubin Report.”
And create them, she did!
When she first became pregnant in 2017, it was both an exciting and emotional time.
The story of her second baby didn’t seem to be any easier.
However, she wasn’t afraid.
“I won’t be alone,” she penned in a second essay forGlamour.
Rauch continued, writing, “I have a partner.
The same one that’s been listening to my heartbeat inside me for nine months.”
“I was excited to include chocolate pudding in the book,” Rauch told Parade.
As delicious as that sounds, it’s hard to imagine kids wanting toeat tofu every day.
As Rauch toldHollywood Lifein 2020, working on the show meant a lot to her.
I was a fan of the show growing up.”
Of reboots, Rauch said there’s “such a comfort factor” at play.
No doubt that’s how audiences will also receive the “Night Court” sequel.
