Found Footage: Woz on Big Bang Theory
Nerds squealed with delight last night as the geekiest comedy on American television, The Big Bang Theory, featured a cameo by Steve Wozniak. The Apple co-founder played himself in a brief scene with the gang from the show (Is that his daughter next to him at the table?). He was pretty funny and seemed comfortable on camera. In fact, Steve is an old hand at TV by now, having appeared on Dancing With The Stars and My Life on the D-List.
In case you missed it, you can watch it above (sorry about the audio quality -- we'll keep an eye out for the official version). Good job, Woz!

As stated, the woman in the scene is Woz's actual wife, Janet. She used to live down the street from me in IA before she met and married Woz and moved to CA.

And dropping him from twitter because he was having a good time? Sheesh. Good call on the cannon, although I would say an Apple II is quite different from a Mac running OSX. It was a DOS machine which is very geeky.

In a previous episode Sheldon states that he does not like Apple products. It would seem that if that is the case he would not have an Apple II. I think the premise of the episode is unrealistic based on show canon.

@billprady RT @martinpinnau: @billprady Was the lady dining with Woz an extra, or was she someone I should have recognized? //Woz's actual wife --BP
I also feel the writers dropped the ball with his little cameo. It wasn't all that funny.
man, that was just sad. woz, you are an inspiration - you can do better.
