After seven seasons, “Young Sheldon” is ending with a big bang!
“Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi caught up with star Iain Armitage to talk about the emotional ending of the hit series.
Mona told him, “I hear we need to bring out the tissues,” and he agreed, saying, “That’s right.”
Iain said of the finale, “Definitely bittersweet because, as much as I love doing this, knowing that we're coming to an end, it's pretty crazy.”
Kosar Abdi noted the show will probably always stay with him. He quipped, “I'm not yearning to break free of the oppressive chains of being on a number one-rated sitcom for seven years. It's been wonderful, and it's an honor.”
