"Appearing on talk shows is a choice." Respectfully, I'd submit that this my not be true. She's now a regular on a CBS-aired series. Promotion of the series comes with being a regular. All of the other BBT regulars have appeared on either Dave or SCG within the last 6 months or so, and now it was her turn. So I'm willing to cut her a little slack on that point. But I find it very difficult to believe that she went on LLS without having screened an episode or two - at the very least, the episodes with her costars.
