Kaley Cuoco revealed that her baby daughter Matilda watched the first season of Succession while talking about parenting on Monday on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC.
The 38-year-old actress has nine-month-old daughter Matilda with her actor partner Tom Pelphrey, 41, and told Jimmy, 56, how she recently was on a plane flight and sat next to a couple with a six-month-old baby.
'I knew our flight was coming up. I was like, ''Oh, my god. How are you going to do this?'' …I said, ''Are you going to watch some TV, put some TV on for the kid?'' She was like, ''Oh, no. We don't allow TV yet for our kid.'' And I was thinking, Matilda just watched the first season of Succession last week,' Kaley said as Jimmy burst into laughter.
'I was like, okay, so are we not supposed to do that? I don't understand. I'm like not kidding. We watched the finale. She's like, oh my god,' Kaley said laughing while wearing a sparkling little black dress and a nameplate necklace reading 'Tildy'.
Kaley joked that Matilda was 'really shocked at the finale' of the HBO drama.

'I told her the show was over, she cried,' Kaley said.
'I think I'm doing everything the opposite than people are doing,' Kaley said.
Jimmy said that he remembered watching a lot of television as a kid and being told to read books.
'Now I think television is books, and iPads are television,' Jimmy said.
'Yes, I agree! I agree,' Kaley said.
'Like, if you can keep them off the iPad, yeah, put her in front of the television, no problem at all,' Jimmy quipped.
'Oh, she loves her iPad, too,' Kaley said.

'Oh, she's got an iPad?,' Jimmy asked.
'Oh, she's watching everything. I have no shame. As long as she's not crying,' Kaley said.
'Does she know how to operate the iPad?,' Jimmy asked.
'She is getting really good. It's scary. She can move. The hands move,' Kaley said.
Jimmy joked that Kaley was making a lot of parents feel good about what they're doing.
'One or the other, we'll see. A lot of judgment. Stop judging the moms out there. Come on, guys. Let them watch Succession,' Kaley said.
Kaley said Tom was the 'opposite' of her and called him the 'safe' parent.
'She is nine months old. He still holds her where her head won't fall. Honey, I think her head is okay,' Kaley said.

Kaley was on the ABC talk show to promote her new action comedy movie Role Play that is scheduled to be released on Friday on Amazon Prime Video.
The Big Bang Theory star is a producer of the film that also stars David Oyelowo, Connie Nielsen and Bill Nighy.
Kaley portrays Emma Brackett who has a secret life as an assassin that her husband Dave, played by David, discovers when they try to spice up their marriage with a little role play.
The movie was filmed in 2022 in Berlin and Kaley told Jimmy that she found out she was pregnant during the first week of shooting.
'So I did that whole movie pregnant,' Kaley said.
'I was a pregnant assassin. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't think they'd let me do any fun assassin stuff. The only person I told was my stunt double and Tom,' she said.
Kaley said she had morning sickness while filming.
'I was so sick. So the only thing I wanted that entire shoot was Taco Bell and they don't have Taco Bell in Berlin. All of Germany, no Taco Bell,' Kaley said. 'You might want to get on that.'
'I was a pregnant assassin. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't think they'd let me do any fun assassin stuff. The only person I told was my stunt double and Tom,' Kaley said
Kaley said she craved Taco Bell, but the other food she wanted was Subway.
'I just wanted tuna sandwiches from Subway. So I would be in the corner eating tuna sandwiches,' she said.
Kaley admitted it must have been a 'gross visual'.
'And no one knew I was pregnant. And they're like, all she is eating is tuna sandwiches, acting very weird and a lot of sweating. It wasn't ideal,' Kaley said.
