{alltv} 'Big Bang Theory' making big noise

So now that Kaley Cuoco of The Big Bang Theory has confirmed she secretly dated castmate Johnny Galecki for two years, who else on the show is romantically entwined?

"Yeah, the three of us are hooking up," said Kunal Nayyar, pointing to himself, Jim Parsons and Simon Helberg on Thursday in Toronto. But Parsons quickly shot that down, the spoil-sport.

"No, there was no other insular dating in the cast," Parsons assured. Nayyar (who plays Raj), Parsons (Sheldon) and Helberg (Howard) were in Canada Thursday for a CTV media blitz, and their appearance on eTalk before a raucous crowd will air Friday. The trio also appeared on Canada AM and Innerspace.

"We didn't know the show was so big here (in Canada)," Helberg said. "I actually had no idea. They don't tell us that much about what's going on in other countries. We're on all the time here, I guess."

The Big Bang Theory, which airs new episodes Thursdays on CBS and CTV, also has a wall-to-wall rerun presence on CTV. For both new and old episodes, ratings are through the roof this fall.

"It makes me wonder, what's going on in Budapest now with our show?" Helberg asked. "Not politically, because who cares about that, but just our show, how is that affecting the world?" Well, everyone's laughing.

In a good way.

Parsons, of course, is coming off an individual win at the Emmy Awards.

"As far as it changing anything, now I obviously have the Emmy in my house, and sometimes I see it," Parsons said. "And when I do, I have to be honest, it feels weird to me that it actually even happened." At that point Nayyar added, "For me, it felt like I had won something, I don't know why." To which Parsons said, "Because you are the wind beneath my wings."

Hey, Jim, didn't you say no one else was dating?
