Kaley Cuoco cuts a casual figure while running errands in LA… after a former CBS executive revealed she was the ‘secret sauce’ that got The Big Bang Theory greenlit

Kaley Cuoco was seen running errands in Westlake Village on Monday afternoon.

The 37-year-old actress attempted to keep a low profile as she kept her head down as she walked back to her car while scrolling through messages on her iPhone.

For her outing, the Golden Globe nominee sported a white t-shirt, matching linen pants, two layered beaded necklaces, an oversized pair of shades and pink slides.

The mom-of-one, who gave birth to her daughter Matilda in March, opted to style her golden blonde tresses in a sleek bun and showcased her natural beauty by rocking minimal makeup.

Her latest sighting comes after former CBS executive Nina Tassler recently opened up about how casting Cuoco as Penny Hofstadter in The Big Bang Theory helped get the series greenlit.

During an interview with Emmy Magazine, Tassler reflected on how 'there was so much about the' The Big Bang Theory's 'pilot that did work.'

Still, she admitted that the script and casting needed some adjusting, which included replacing Amanda Walsh as Penny with Cuoco. 

Additionally, Penny's character evolved from being more 'worldlier' and harsh to Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Leonard Hofstadter (John Galecki) to easy-going and witty. 

While speaking about series creator, Chuck Lorre, Tassler said he 'is an extraordinary talent.'

'He had a great concept and wonderful chemistry between the two leads, so I asked him if he would try again,' she continued. 'And he immediately said, to his credit, 'You're right, I know I can do better. Thank you for this opportunity, and we'll figure it out.' 

Once Cuoco joined the cast, Tassler said she was 'the secret sauce' that helped get the show on air. 

The series exited the TV airwaves in 2019 with the most episodes for a multi-camera series ever with 279 episodes. It edged past NBC's Cheers, which aired for 11 seasons and 275 episodes. 

Upon announcing the end of the series, Warner Bros. Television, CBS and Chuck Lorre Productions released a join statement.

'We are forever grateful to our fans for their support of The Big Bang Theory during the past twelve seasons,' they stated. 'We, along with the cast, writers and crew, are extremely appreciative of the show’s success and aim to deliver a final season, and series finale, that will bring The Big Bang Theory to an epic creative close.'

In 2020, while appearing on Conan Needs A Friend podcast, she admitted to occasionally watching 'early episodes of' the show. 

'I can’t believe how many different hairstyles I had and all the different clothes. It’s very weird because I’m much more okay watching the earlier seasons as opposed to the most recent ones,' Cuoco reflected.

She continued: 'The recent ones are still too emotional for me. The early, early ones feel like a different person and a different time so I’m able to watch it and laugh. But the recent ones are tough, it was strange getting out of that and figuring what the next step was going to be. In my mind, I was going to be on it for 27 years.'
