The king of sitcoms - Lorre had the honor to hold the slate identifying the final episode of the show, as he held it and clapped the clapper for the final time, said he was 'grief-stricken and grateful'.

The final episode of the show will pretty much focus on Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah-Fowler that will air on Thursday (8 EDT/PDT). The one-hour long special episode's storyline will revolve around whether they will win the Noble Prize or not. 

The show that initially catered the niche audience grew to be number one comedy sitcom in CBS and saw the rise of the geek culture which helped in the longevity of the series and with its conclusion became the number one watched show on TV.
