Annie Potts gets lured into Young Sheldon
CBS’s upcoming Big Bang Theory-meets-The Wonder Years spin-off, Young Sheldon, has managed to lure veteran actress Annie Potts into its polymathic and precocious grasp. Potts—who starred in Ghostbusters, Designing Women, Toy Story, and any number of other well-remembered comedy projects—will play Sheldon’s “Meemaw,” a character from BBT’s expansive mythology, who was played by June Squibb in a single main-series appearance.
