Melissa Rauch, known for her role as Bernadette on The Big Bang Theory, shared an awkward moment she experienced during her first episode on set
She was introduced to the show as Penny’s (Kaley Cuoco) coworker at the Cheesecake Factory, and eventually became Howard Wolowitz’s (Simon Helberg) love interest and wife.
While her character fit into the show pretty smoothly for viewers, her first day on set wasn’t exactly smooth sailing behind the scenes.
“The first episode of the season I had a little…incident,” she recalled.
“We were shooting a scene and I’m in a hotel room bed and in my own personal life, whenever I get under covers, I’m always really cold.” she explained, setting up the scene.
“We shot the whole scene, there’s a studio audience.” she said, admitting how it happened by pure habit.
It seems like it wasn’t just the crew who noticed either—there was a bit of chatter in the audience as well.
After the show, Melissa called her mom to tell her how the day went, but it wasn’t quite the reaction she expected.
According to Melissa, her mom was completely horrified by the story.
“She’s so upset about it. So now every week I just keep on saying, ‘Uh, something else happened at work…'” she continued, as her mom couldn’t get over the misunderstanding.
