"The cast of The Big Bang Theory have opened the 2012 People&amp;#039;s Choice Awards. Host Kaley Cuoco was joined by her castmates in a pre-recorded segment that aired at the start of the awards show.  The cast - including Cuoco and her co-stars Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch - sat around the series&amp;#039; living room set discussing the People&amp;#039;s Choice Awards.      &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re the best. They&amp;#039;re the only ones actually chosen by the people,&amp;quot; Cuoco said, in character as Penny. &amp;quot;Who&amp;#039;s hosting this year?&amp;quot; Rauch asked. &amp;quot;Some blond bimbo from a sitcom. If it&amp;#039;s not Neil Patrick Harris, who cares?&amp;quot; Cuoco responded.  The actress then proceeded to receive a phone call from her agent telling her that she had been hired as a seat filler.  &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;ll be great at that. She&amp;#039;s been practicing on this couch for years,&amp;quot; Parsons quipped as Sheldon. The pre-recorded segment then transitioned into the live show, where Cuoco was sitting next to Betty White. The 89-year-old Hot in Cleveland star told the actress that she was wanted for the hosting gig.  &amp;quot;Does it pay more?&amp;quot; Cuoco asked her.      She then took to the stage, where she pointed out Harris in the audience. &amp;quot;Neil, why are you wearing a microphone?&amp;quot; she asked.  &amp;quot;I always wear this,&amp;quot; he answered.  Cuoco pointed to Harris&amp;#039;s two beautiful companions, asking: &amp;quot;Who are those people sitting next to you?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Who, these two?&amp;quot; he responded. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re my parents.&amp;quot;   &amp;quot;Really, those super hot chicks in their bedazzled outfits are your parents?&amp;quot; she answered, as he responded: &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;ve had a lot of work done.&amp;quot; Cuoco then approached Harris and pulled at his suit, asking why it was looking &amp;quot;weird&amp;quot; before tearing off the shirt. &amp;quot;A tearaway tuxedo. Neil, you have a problem,&amp;quot; she declared. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re right, I&amp;#039;m addicted,&amp;quot; he answered before bursting into song. Cuoco then cut him off and had him escorted out of the theatre.
