The Big Bang Theorywasn’t short on oddball moments, but Bernadette’s craziest secret hit like a plot twist from outer space. Turns out, the sweet and sassy Melissa Rauch was pulling off an acting masterclass in disguise.
This bizarre reveal had us all doing double takes and wondering how Rauch managed to juggle comedy and this jaw-dropping surprise like a pro.
Melissa Rauch’s vocal mastery turned Bernadette into aBig Bang Theoryicon
OnThe Big Bang Theory,Melissa Rauch’s Bernadette was channeling a masterclass in vocal gymnastics. We loved Mrs. Wolowitz’s high-pitched sweetness paired with sudden outbursts of screaming rage. But you know what, neither voice came naturally to Rauch. In real life, her tone is calm, normal, and reminiscent ofKaley Cuoco’s, just a touch deeper.
Rauch revealed her inspiration came from her mother. While Bernadette and Mrs. Rauch share vocal DNA, there’s one difference: the Jersey accent didn’t make the cut. “Tonally, it’s very similar,”Rauch admitted at a PaleyFest event (viaLooper), though she did nail the Jersey twang when mimicking Howard’s mother.

This bizarre blend of sweet and screechy created one of the show’s most unforgettable (and might we say scariest) characters. Rauch’s ability to flip between these extremes without missing a beat made her a sitcom legend. We really couldn’t get enough of the contrast.
Whether soft-spoken or hilariously unhinged, Bernadette was a scene-stealer, and Rauch’s legendary acting chops made every moment count.
WhyThe Big Bang Theorykept Bernadette and Howard’s babies offscreen
In the middle ofThe Big Bang Theory’s tenth season, a new character was introduced: Howard and Bernadette’s newborn daughter, Halley. While the couple’s lives were turned upside down by parenthood, we didn’t actually see much of the baby, at all.
Showrunner Steve Molaro revealed that, aside from the Very Special Episode featuring Halley’s birth, she’d only be heard screaming offscreen. This clever move was a tribute to Carol Ann Susi, the actress who voiced Howard’s ever-shouting mother. After Susi’s death in 2014, the decision to keep Halley unseen seemed to honor her legacy.

When Bernadette gave birth to baby number two, a son named Neil, in 2018, theno baby on setrule stayed firmly in place. Executive producer Steve Holland shared that they weren’t exactly excited about having a real newborn in front of the cameras (perEntertainment Tonight):
I’m not super excited to have someone haul their newborn twins and shove them in front of a camera.
The solution? Keep things simple and let the babies do what they do best: scream from off-screen.
