For W’s second annual TV Portfolio, we asked 26 of the most sought-after names in television to pay homage to their favorite small screen characters by stepping into their shoes.
After three decades in Hollywood, and breaking out on sitcoms like 8 Simple Rules and The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco is ready to take flight for the next phase of her career: starring in The Flight Attendant as Cassie Bowden, the alcoholic, accidental gumshoe embroiled in an international mystery. The HBO Max series is so much more than a fizzy, flippant spectacle about a catty jet-setting crew—it’s a dark and dizzying puzzle that escorts the viewer from destination to destination, as the titular flight attendant attempts to solve the mystery of why she woke up in a very expensive Bangkok hotel room with her murdered one-night stand lying next to her.
The show is a compelling whodunit, thanks to the charming performance given by Cuoco, who, after starring in nearly 300 episodes of the syndicated sitcom The Big Bang Theory, finally received her first Emmy nomination, for leading The Flight Attendant. In fact, if it wasn’t for Cuoco’s absentmindedly looking through Amazon’s list of upcoming book releases several years ago, the show might not have happened at all (Cuoco serves as executive producer on the project, and she’s the one who optioned it for television). For W’s annual TV Portfolio, the actress opened up about her first Emmy nomination, being an original Bachelor Nation fan, and bringing some much-needed comedy to an otherwise very gloomy mystery on television.
What was going through your mind the moment you received your Emmy nomination for The Flight Attendant?
You know, it’s really wild. I’ve been doing this for 30 years, and I’ve never had a moment like that. I love being an actor. Simply put, I’ve never known another life. I’ve never had another job. There are so many good actors that don’t get any recognition. And you work and you work and you work. Then all of a sudden, you get this little gift and this little icing on top of this really massive cake that you don’t even deserve anyway. I never, ever thought I would be Emmy nominated, and I’ve always been so happy with what I’ve done, so this is just an absolute gift.
“This has been the honor of my career,” the actress says of her Emmy-nominated role in the HBO Max series
For Kaley Cuoco, receiving an Emmy nomination for her role in The Flight Attendant was icing on the cake.
“This has been the honor of my career,” Cuoco, who also produced the HBO Max hit, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “When the announcements came out, my heart swelled. But I feel like I’ve already won.” In the show, based on a 2018 novel, Cuoco plays the titular character, an unstable flight attendant entangled in a murder. Tackling the producing aspect was somewhat uncharted territory for the star. “I had never made a show,” says Cuoco, 35. “I was like, ‘I don’t even know how people do this!’ And I didn’t realize, until this show, how many people are involved in getting this thing off the ground.”
Cuoco recalls a key moment on set when she realized her vision was becoming a reality. “I begged Rosie Perez to play Megan,” she says of her costar. “And eventually, I got her on board. A few months later, we had our first scene together in the galley and I looked over at her and my eyes started to well up.” “She’s like, ‘What’s the matter with you?’ And I said, ‘Do you understand this is like a child with her mood board?'” she continues. “I’d been involved in the whole thing, and it was a dream literally coming true in front of my eyes.”
She has also learned valuable lessons in the production process. “I asked a lot of questions,” she says. “You have to learn you’re not the smartest person in the room. I was a little fish in a big sea! It was a really humbling experience, but it also gave me a sense of bravery.” Ultimately, “I trust my gut,” says Cuoco. “It doesn’t mean I’m always right. But in all aspects of myself, it’s black and white, no gray. I go all or nothing!”
The 73rd Emmy Awards will air live on Sep. 19 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS, and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Actrice Kaley Cuoco (35) wil graag het paard Saint Boy kopen. Het dier werd tijdens de moderne vijfkamp op de Olympische Spelen in Tokio door de Duitse atlete Annika Schleu en haar coach Kim Raisner geslagen.
Bij de moderne vijfkamp weigerde het paard Saint Boy meerdere malen te springen. Daarop sloeg Schleu op aanwijzing van coach Raisner het dier meerdere malen met een zweep. Dat kwam de twee op stevige kritiek te staan en uiteindelijk moesten ze de Olympische Spelen verlaten.
Cuoco reageert nu in haar Instagram Stories op het incident. “Dit is op zoveel manieren een walgelijke, beledigende weergave van onze sport”, schrijft de actrice. Cuoco is zelf ook een fervent paardrijdster en is getrouwd met Karl Cook, die professioneel ruiter is.
De 35-jarige actrice vindt dat het team zich zou moeten schamen. “Ik zal dat paard kopen en het het leven geven dat het zou moeten hebben. Noem je prijs”, laat ze nog weten.

Kaley is momenteel aan het onderhandelen over een mogelijk rol in de komedie film ‘Meet Cute’.
We have learned that Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson are in negotiations to headline the romantic comedy movie Meet Cute directed by Alex Lehmann. The deal has not yet closed.
Meet Cute, I hear, is a wildly inventive deconstruction of the romantic comedy built around the question: What would you do if you could travel to your loved ones’ past, heal their traumas, fix their problems, and change them into the perfect partner?
Cuoco will play Sheila, while Davidson will portray Gary in the pic. Noga Pnueli penned the script. Akiva Goldsman, Gregory Lessans, and Rachel Reznick of Weed Road Pictures will produce with Santosh Govindaraju and Dan Reardon of Convergent Media.
Cuoco recently closed an expansive new overall deal with Warner Bros. TV Group for her production company Yes, Norman, extending a 15-year relationship with the studio, as Deadline first reported. She developed, executive produced, and starred in the acclaimed HBO Max hit series The Flight Attendant, which is going into its second season. The actress received several noms including SAG (Female Actor in a Comedy Series, as well as Ensemble in a Comedy Series), Critics Choice (Actress in a Comedy Series, Best Comedy Series), and the Golden Globes (Actress in a TV Series – Musical or Comedy, as well as TV Series – Musical or Comedy). She was also nominated for a PGA (Producer of Episodic TV, Comedy).
After collaborating on The Flight Attendant, Cuoco recently re-teamed with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. TV to land the rights to Doris Day: Her Own Story, the legendary singer’s official biography/autobiography, by A.E. Hotchner. The project is currently in development, with Cuoco slated to star. She is continuing to do the title voiceover and EP Warner Bros. Animation’s Harley Quinn, which is heading into its third season. Most recently as Deadline first told you, Cuoco and Yes, Norman acquired rights to A Season With Mom. She’ll next star in the Sony movie The Man From Toronto opposite Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson. She is represented by SDB Partners, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller & Gellman.
Poised for her first nomination, Cuoco stars on EW’s bonus Emmys cover and teases what’s coming next on her HBO Max hit.
If you think it’s hard being an alcoholic flight attendant who wakes up next to a dead body in Bangkok with no idea what happened the night before, try being the actress playing that character on TV. “There were nights where I would go into my apartment in New York and cry. Like, ‘Oh my God, everyone’s going to hate this,'” says Kaley Cuoco of her anxiety while filming and executive-producing The Flight Attendant in 2019. “It was a lot of up-and-down emotions, because this project lived or died with me.”
Not only did The Flight Attendant live, the darkly comic thriller soared. After premiering on Thanksgiving 2020, the HBO Max series based on Chris Bohjalian’s 2018 novel racked up stellar reviews and a season 2 renewal (set to debut in spring 2022). Next came a wave of accolades for the Big Bang Theory alum, who masterfully balanced her character’s own whirlwind of emotions, from wild panic to deeply rooted shame. “I felt like I played 10 different women. I played the fun best friend. I played the sister. I played a girl who has serious trauma,” she says of Cassie. “It was an actor’s dream.”
You can read the full interview with Cuoco – she reveals which actor’s audition made her cry, explains why the show is moving to Los Angeles, and talks about making the most out of this virtual awards season – when EW’s July issue (featuring this bonus Emmys cover) hits stands on June 18. In the meantime, perhaps these teases about The Flight Attendant season 2 will tide you over.
1. Is Cassie going to join the CIA?
Though Shane (Griffin Matthews) hinted at a CIA gig for Cassie in the season finale, Cuoco says, “this is not all of a sudden going to be Cassie is a superspy. I think there will be a little bit of the CIA-asset stuff, on the side.”2. We know he’s dead, but will Alex (Michiel Huisman) be back?
“I don’t think he will,” says Cuoco. But the “mind palace” – the elaborate, all-in-Cassie’s-head setting where she and Alex spent time together – will return: “Cassie is going to have to face some of her own demons in the mind palace, especially now trying to stay sober.”3. With Cassie moving to L.A., will we still see her best friend Annie (Zosia Mamet) and her brother Davey (T.R. Knight)?
“I think we want [Annie] to come out and maybe look at some L.A. law firms so she can be near Cassie,” says Cuoco. As for Davey, “he is going to follow her to L.A. because he’s concerned about her sobriety, [but] we are going to find out that he’s trying to escape some of his own issues.”

Starring on “The Big Bang Theory” for 12 seasons made Kaley Cuoco one of the most well-paid TV actors in Hollywood history. But it was just the beginning for her it turns out.
By Leigh Nordstrom on June 9, 2021Britney Spears is playing overhead, declaring that she just wants to dance with you, as Kaley Cuoco moves through her backyard in Givenchy, The Row, Jil Sander. A professional actor for some 30 years now, Cuoco is no stranger to a fancy dress. But today’s selection of minimalism, stripped down of all the hype, is a newer look for the 35-year-old, one she seems to be quite at home in, if her comfort in pulling off said wardrobe is any indication.
It’s fitting, of course, for a woman at the center of her own reinvention in the eyes of Hollywood, one from girl-next-door sitcom star to bona fide producer, award nominee and star of a dark HBO drama. Gimme gimme more, indeed.
Starring on “The Big Bang Theory” made Cuoco one of the most successful actors in Hollywood — her 12-season run made her one of the highest-paid actors in the history of TV, with the cast each bringing in $1 million an episode from seasons eight through 12 — but it also confined her to a very specific type of sitcom audience. She had no idea where she would go next after “Big Bang,” but something told her that if she wanted to pivot, she would have to go out and create it for herself.
Which is exactly what she did with a little show called “The Flight Attendant,” which she discovered browsing the internet one late night and which turned into a hit HBO Max series she starred in, executive produced, and for which she was subsequently nominated for two Golden Globes. Emmys, it’s your move.
Kaley Cuoco on Producing ‘The Flight Attendant’
“I think people were interested in the fact that I built this from the ground-up, that this was my project from the beginning,” Cuoco says of being seen in a new light since the show came out. “I think that got a lot of people’s attention and they respected that. They accepted the tone, they accepted this new path for me. But I do believe that them hearing my story over the last few years of how I got the book and how I got this thing going, I felt like I earned a lot of, I don’t know, there was this mutual respect between me and other actors and my fans. It was just, it was incredibly nice and I felt like I had this warm welcome into a whole new career that I didn’t even know was there.”When “The Big Bang Theory” ended in 2019, Cuoco was advised to take the summer off and relax a bit, which was the one thing she knew she did not want to do.

Though she’s scaling new career heights with “The Flight Attendant,” the actor-producer has only ever wanted to do one thing: work
Since “The Flight Attendant” became HBO Max’s runaway hit late last year—one of the then-nascent streaming platform’s first—there’s been a certain narrative about its star and executive producer, Kaley Cuoco: that she “came out of nowhere.”
Join Backstage to access work from home jobs you can apply to right now!
Cuoco, who has been working professionally since the age of 5, finds this hilarious; she understands, though, how the story took form. “There was never a moment where I got tossed to the wolves, where I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m famous!’ ” Cuoco says, video chatting from her Los Angeles home. “I’ve been on this slight uphill trajectory my whole career, just slowly working, working, working. I was always kind of here.”And she’s right. Having appeared on various television series throughout the 1990s and early aughts, she had amassed 25 IMDb credits by the time she landed her first true “break” in 2002 on the three-season comedy “8 Simple Rules.”
Being on sets from a young age, Cuoco posits, was a more useful education than any traditional acting class. “I took a few [classes] when I was very, very young, and it just was not for me,” she remembers. “The whole school of it was just being lucky enough to be on sets and being around adults at a young age, and having a time when I had to be at work and when I had to be quiet [and] memorize my lines. And going to the parties and the premieres—those were my proms.”
But the real reason the “overnight sensation” moniker is such an absurd one to pin on Cuoco, of course, lies in the fact that she spent 12 seasons starring on one of the biggest comedies of its time, “The Big Bang Theory.” The CBS sitcom from creator Chuck Lorre concluded in 2019 and made Cuoco one of the highest-paid television stars to date, a kind of success too absurd to even dream of.

Kaley Cuoco (35) staat open voor een reünie van de populaire comedyserie ‘The Big Bang Theory’. Dat vertelde de actrice, die jarenlang een hoofdrol vertolkte in de serie, aan ‘E! News’.
“Het voelde als gisteren toen we klaar waren met filmen”
“Het lijkt me erg leuk om een soort reünie-aflevering te maken,” vertelt de 35-jarige actrice. “Ik kan bijvoorbeeld niet wachten op de reünie van Friends, dus ik sta er zeker voor open om een zelfde aflevering te maken met onze cast.” Kaley doelt op de reünie-aflevering van de serie Friends, die binnenkort te zien is op HBO Max.
Hoewel de actrice, die de rol van buurmeisje Penny speelde, enthousiast is over een reünie, benadrukt ze ook dat het niet lang geleden is dat de show eindigde. De laatste aflevering van de serie werd uitgezonden in mei 2019. “Het voelde als gisteren toen we klaar waren met filmen, maar ik denk dat iedereen van de cast nog naar nieuwe projecten aan het zoeken is,” aldus Kaley. “Ik denk over een paar jaar als de timing goed is, dat ik zeker meedoe. Het was een ervaring die onze levens veranderde en het lijkt me geweldig om dat nog een keer met de fans te delen.”
De comedyserie volgde de avonturen van vier nerdy wetenschappers en hun knappe buurmeisje. Er werden 12 seizoenen van de serie geproduceerd en daarmee is The Big Bang Theory de langstlopende sitcom ooit.
Kaley is gecast als Doris Day in de nieuwe gelimiteerde serie voor Warners Bros genaamd “Doris Day: Her Own Story. De serie is gebaseerd om de biografie die Hotchner in 1976 over de zangeres en actrice die vanaf de jaren 40 bekend werd aan de hand van interviews die Doris had gegeven. Actrice Doris Day verscheen o.a. in de Alfred Hitchcock film “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” in waarin ze het nummer “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) zong. Hoogstwaarschijnlijk zullen we dus ook de zangkunsten van Kaley zien.
After their collective success with “The Flight Attendant,” Kaley Cuoco’s Yes, Norman Productions will again join forces with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television to develop the story of Doris Day as a limited series, having gotten the rights to A.E. Hotchner’s “Doris Day: Her Own Story.”
Hotchner wrote the 1976 biography based on a series of interviews with Day, and it’s considered to be her autobiography. Cuoco will play Day, the iconic actor, singer and animal rights activist. No network is currently attached to the project.
Day, who died at age 97 in 2019, started in show business as a singer, and made her film debut in the late 1940s in movie musicals. In the ’50s and ‘60s, she was a huge star and box office draw. Day showed her talents in such movies as “Calamity Jane” (1953); Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” in which she sang “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be),” which became her signature song; “The Pajama Game” (1957); and “Pillow Talk” (1959) with Rock Hudson and Tony Randall, a successful combination of actors that repeated itself twice more. Day was famously seen as the “good girl,” with conservative tastes and politics reflected in her real life, and her image fell out of step with the times as the ’60s progressed.
Day married four times, and her third husband lost all of their money, leaving her in debt when he died in 1968. A new television career, which she was loathe to have, saved her from financial ruin. In the ‘70s, she turned to animal welfare causes, which reflect Cuoco’s interests as well: Cuoco is a competitive horse rider, and owner of many dogs, as she recently told Variety.
After 12 seasons on “The Big Bang Theory,” also produced by WBTV, Cuoco is on a run with the studio. She founded Yes, Norman in 2017, with an exclusive overall deal with WBTV. “The Flight Attendant,” the first live-action manifestation of that pact, was a success for HBO Max, and has been nominated for numerous awards by SAG, the PGA, the WGA, the HFPA, and more — both for the show and for Cuoco’s performance as Cassie. It will surely be an Emmys contender.
Executive producers for the untitled Doris Day project are Cuoco, and from Berlanti Productions, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden. Co-executive producers are Suzanne McCormack from Yes, Norman and Bob Bashara, the trustee from the Doris Day Estate, with which the series will be working. Consulting producers are Jim Pierson, who worked with Day, and Tim Hotchner, her biographer’s son.
In a Variety cover story, Cuoco mentioned the Doris Day project as something she had set her sights on, but she and her partners hadn’t yet gotten the rights yet. Coming up for Cuoco and Yes, Norman are Season 3 of the delightfully filthy animated series “Harley Quinn” on HBO Max, in which she is an executive producer and voices the title character, as well as Season 2 of “The Flight Attendant,” for which the writers room will soon convene, and should begin production in September or October.
Kaley was eerder deze week vanuit haar huis virtueel aanwezig op de 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Dit jaar was ze genomineerd als beste actrice voor haar rol in ‘The Flight Attendent’, helaas won ze niet. Een dag eerder werd ze wel verrast door haar man Karl die vanaf een paardenwedstrijd speciaal naar huis vloog om bij haar te zijn tijdens de uitreiking.

Kaley is genomineerd voor Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy voor haar rol in ‘The Flight Attendent’, daarnaast is de serie waarvan ze ook producer is ook genomineerd voor Best TV Comedy/Musical. Dit is de eerste keer dat Kaley genomineerd is voor een Golden Globe in haar carriere, toen ze erachter kwam brak ze in tranen uit van blijdschap.
“I’ve been in this business for 30 years, and I was in the corner, happy, waving, part of great shows, never did I dream of this moment, nor was it a goal,” beamed Flight Attendant star and EP Kaley Cuoco about her first two Golden Globe nominations this morning.
Not only was the series a breakthrough for frosh streamer HBO Max, but scored Cuoco as a producer a Best TV Comedy/Musical nom, and a Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy nod.
“I just dreamed of being an actor, and so to have this moment this morning after doing this my whole life, I’ll never forget it. My heart is about to burst,” exclaimed Cuoco.
The Flight Attendant, based on Chris Bohjalian’s novel, stars Cuoco as an alcoholic jet-setting flight attendant, Cassie Bowen, whose one-night stand with a first-class passenger turns tragic after she wakes up next to his murdered corpse. She becomes immediately a person of suspect, and embroiled in the late cute guy’s spy affairs, unable to remember what happened as alcohol has clouded her judgement. HBO Max announced that a season 2 is in the works shortly after the series one finale back in December.
“We haven’t written anything yet, we just started our writers’ room, but I think the journey for her emotionally is that she is going to try and have a sober journey. Because she is so impatient, and her personality is so black-and-white, she’s going to go into this thinking it’s easy; a quick fix and that she’s fixed her demons. I think she’s going to learn very quickly that this is a life-long struggle and she’s going to be way over her head,” teased Cuoco about season 2 of the HBO Max show.
What has many critics gobsmacked about Flight Attendant is how the former Big Bang Theory comedienne balances the drama and the comedy in what is a very fun, spy series.
In regards to hitting those marks, Cuoco shares, “I’ve always been gut driven, I feel it, and say ‘This is right, this is right’. I just saw this book three-and-half years ago and I thought ‘Wow, this character could be really f***king fun!’ I optioned the book, and if I could tell you over the past few years how often the word ‘tone’ was discussed in phone calls, it’s been crazy. I didn’t know that the word could be said so many times. Finding the tone on this show was incredibly challenging. It was not a drama, it was not a comedy, it was not that. It was all of these things. I felt like I had multiple personalities in practically every scene. It was an actor’s dream. I just went there, and went crazy, and felt it. It turned into the most unique tone I’ve ever played.”
