It is strange. Howard, Penny, and Amy all did voice spots on YS, however, Raj, Leonard, and Bernadette didn't. Does that mean they're dead as well? Shows how ridiculous this theory is.

Stop thinking to much all Sheldon said was I knew we should have not let Penny babysit her.

They mentioned Penny because she's the actress, not Leonard. If she wanted to be an engineer, or astronaut he would mention only one person specifically. Not Bernadette.

That is a ridiculous 🙄 😒 theory 🙄 😠 😡

Supposing that Leonard is dead seems farfetched to me, being based primarily on their son not having a nickname. Not everyone likes nicknames. It would not be unusual at all to use the full name Leonard for both their friend and their son.

Oh, get over yourself. They referred to their son as Leonard so people who missed the earlier reference in Young Sheldon would be sure to get it.

We all don't agree with this, yet we are all here commenting on this click bait 😂

Not dead, divorced. That's my theory. Penny miscarriages, Leonard wants to try again, Penny declines, and he finally cheats on her (as he teased a couple of times). It is through this illicit relationship that his child is born and Penny dumps him.

Or.... Leonard is still alive and him and Penny are still married. Sheldon and Amy do not seem like the type of people whom likes nicknames and why would you say both of their names. I only refer to my sister when her and her husband are babysitting my kids.

It's like Schrodinger's cat he isn't dead or alive. It's a TV show.

I wish someone would do a "sad, creepypasta" of The Big Bang Theory. It could be about how Leonard's finally made him snap and slowly ends up killing Sheldon as payback. I ask this because the narrator in the creepypasta "Borrasca" sounds just like Johnny Galecki.

Imagine sheldon being okay with a nickname. "LENNY? EXCUSE ME, BUT NAME ONE SELF RESPETING LENNY, AND DONT YOU DARE SAY KRAVITZ." He would rather go with thing ond and thing two.

Yeah I’m not buying the theory that Leonard’s dead either! This is just laughable nonsense! 😆🤣😂

I'm a baby boomer and all I can say is " Oh my God, Paul's dead." Anybody else remember that?

Not buying it, none of the other characters were mentioned either. Should we believe they died, too?

Leonard is fictional. He can’t die in real life.

In all likelihood they named their son after Sheldon's best friend similar to naming a child after a respected family member

THEY BETTER NOT KILL LEONARD, WE LOST GEORGE, WE ARE NOT LOSING LEONARD!!!

"knowing Leonard's health problems like sleep apnea and asthma, it's possible Leonard might have passed away in the last few years" 🤨

That is some Reed Richards level stretching.

Here's my theory... folks are trying to angle for another spin-off. I would not be opposed to that. I was thinking maybe Penny wins the Nobel in pharma. Lol.

That is VERY far-fetched. Why does Leonard have to be there with Penny to babysit? Maybe he was working while she babysat. When I saw this episode ot never occurred to me once to imply that Leonard was dead

Kind of a stretch. If any of the original crew died, it would probably be Howard...and Bernadette would have had a believable alibi.

Oh come on. There are dozens of explanations for his absence: Comic Con, divorce, expedition out of town Maybe he went out with the other guys and she was the only one home.

The older Sheldon narration in Young Sheldon season 2, says they named their son after Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and perhaps also after Sheldon's friend. There is no reason to believe Leonard has died. Just speculation at best. If it cannot be proven, then it may not be true.

How? Just because they named their son after Leonard, doesn't mean he is dead. Reaching

Thats is adding 2+2 and getting 53

You are starting rumors. They could have been divorced.....but we need more definitive information to conclude that Leonard is deceased.

Or it was mentioned about Penny only, because she was an actress and that applied to her. Why would Leonard be mentioned in that moment. Also non of the TBBT had nicknames so why would Sheldon give a nickname to his son, even if Leonard and Penny lived near by.

Sheldon and Amy's son could "possibly" go by the casual nickname Leo since as to eliminate any awkward confusion having two individuals in their nucleus group with the same official name. kinda like on That 70s Show with Leo, in that show, as an example.

jUST READING SOMETHING INTO THAT SHOW THAT IS JUST NOT THERE

Not mentioning Leonard by name means nothing. Traditionally women do the babysitting, especially if they are married, and Amy mentions acting, Penny is the only acting storyline in TBBT, she is married to Leonard. If you wanted to go that route, Amy also does not mention Penny's child, does that mean that Penny's child is also dead? Amy also does not mention Raj, Bernadette, Howard, Stewart or any other member of the original cast, so what happened to them? You have a very morbid bent to you, get over it.

If it is true, you almost think that Leonard died not long after the Nobel. And then Sheldon named his son in honor of him

This seems like a stretch, my BIL and Nephew both have the same name and as a kid we used a nickname for the kid but now as a teenager we call them both by the same name.

Maybe they had it scripted of Leonard moving away. Remember that one episode of TBBT where Penny imagined that time where Leonard was doing all this romantic stuff for her? When he was just sitting on the couch playing video games in his pants? It could just be possibly that maybe when Penny and Leonard announced that a Penny was pregnant on the finale of TBBT, apparently that had to leave to a spin off. So maybe, Leonard thought that he wanted children, but then he became like a useless father to them (Kinda like how Howard was really unresponsible in TBBT with his PS4) maybe that happened or he happened to be addicted to something so not long after a year of their parent hood, Leonard and Penny probably got a divorce. Seems like a possibility but I could be wrong.

I think he might still be alive I mean, they don’t bring up Howard or Bernadette or raj

Or they are just setting up the possibility of a "Young Leonard" show.

No it doesn't!! Just because Penny was mentioned and Leonard was not means nothing. Penny was mentioned because she was an actress and he was disappointed his daughter wanted to go the same route. There was absolutely no need to mention Leonard's name since it wasn't anything to do with the conversation

Not at all. no, valid reason.Sheldon is very specific. The short of a name , he uses actual names. Next the topic is daughter and acting. That influence would be Penny, not Leonard. again, Sheldon is very specific. He would only say the one name. Also I believe he said named after L. Nemoy, not both.

Where are people coming up with this theory?

You’re over thinking bud lol. Leonard and Shelly Best Buds for life.

I audibly laughed out loud when your evidence supporting the theory was “well they didn’t use a nickname, and it’d be hard to have 2 people in same circle with the same name!”. Lmao what an absurd leap in logic. And we’re talking about a tween/early teen and a fully grown adult. It’s not like they’re gonna be like “Oh shoot, I know we had a parent teacher conference and a hockey game to go to tonight but I can’t remember if it was for big Leonard or little Leonard!?” 🤔😰🥴🥴

Leonard had a voice spot on Young Sheldon

This story had 2 Georges.... that name thing is really REALLY a stretch

They named their son after Leonard. I don't see why that means the original Leonard is dead.

spoiler: Leonard Hofstadter is not dead

I'm not buying this crap. There's so much other explanations. Penny might have babysat Amy and Sheldon's daughter because Leonard might have been out of town, it might also be practical that Penny babysat as a play date between her child and Amy's Daughter, etc. because nothing has been specifically mentioned that Leonard is dead then he is likely still alive and still with Penny.

By this logic, Howard, Raj, Bernadette, and Stuart are all dead, as well... Nothing said required a mention of Leonard H.. If he played hockey, or acted, maybe it would make sense..

I think you're reaching a lot. I tend to think that by the days in the 'present', Sheldon would have been more inclined to name his son after his friend (who is is very close to despite his antics). It's not a problem to have two people with the same name, happens more often than the people who made this video think. And I think Sheldon is only mildly griping about Penny putting what he sees as weird ideas in his kid's head. I think Leonard is alive and well, and still good friends with Sheldon at this point.

Sheldon named his son after Leonard Nimoy, not his bestfriend Leonard.

This is bunk. Leonard is a hard working scientist just has Sheldon is. Penny would be an awesome Mom and sometimes babysits Amy and Sheldon's kids from time to time. like any other friendship circle. This video was made just for click bait, A waste of time.

lol nobody dies from asthma and to die from sleep apnea it would have to be very severe and you would have to take no remedial steps for decades. Even then, it’s still rare.

Click-bait, this is extremely overthought. Sheldon just mentions what's relevant in the moment. Despite his deep friendship with Leonard he always was more attached to Penny as she worked at some sort of mothet/sister/angry aunt, of course he will depend on her for babysitting once in a while. You missed the whole point of Sheldon if you think he will mentioned Leonard just due feelings, on the contrary the fact that he didn't mention him means that he doesn't deserve a significant space. Meaning, nothing has changed that requires additional social effort from his side. If you want to overthink, do it in the right direction.

It wasn't about leonard and penny it was about shelton

He is not dead they also didn't mention Howard his wife or Raj or Stewart so are they did also

I disagree with this theory. I think if adult Leonard had passed on to the next dimension, it would've been mentioned.

Oh no Leonard is dead because he wasn't mentioned! This means Howard, Bernadette and Raj are dead too!/s

Too much thinking by too small of a mind. Penny was an aspiring actress before getting into sales and becoming a mom. She even had the acting itch after becoming a salesperson. So, it's not any stretch to use her name and omit Leonard's name when referencing babysitting. It wouldn't make sense to add Leonard to that comment. Furthermore, if they were trying to honor Leonard Nimoy and/or Leonard Hoffstedter (like TBBT actually told us), it makes total sense for Sheldon and Amy to use Leonard as opposed to any shortened form, especially for the obsessive-compulsive Sheldon, who can't sit anywhere that is not "his spot", must knock 3 times in a series of 3, and numerous other idiosyncrasies. This was a 3 minute waste of time and bandwidth. NO WAY would I subscribe!

Leonard's not dead.

Talk about over thinking something 😂

This is a dumb theory, we can’t be sure what the writers had in mind.

I don't agree, not even a little bit.

A No!Leonard is too much money and intellectual property for the future for CBS

Maybe Leonard & Penny simply divorced!

Man you're WAY over thinking this

He's hitchhiking to Memphis with Paul McCartney and Elvis Presley to meet up with Dr. Mengele and the Boys from Brazil.

so-what it is a tv show......

Thats stretching it...

Would their kids be about the same age? Maybe they dropped their kids off at Leonard and Penny's for fun.

What nonsense talk about overthinking it 🙄

if you watched it they have 2 kids a boy who plays hockey and a daughter so if the boy plays hockey he must be around 10 or 12 years old and a daughter who can clearly express her thoughts so she may be 8 or 9

Omg this is not a good theory at all. It's reaching so much.

You’ve got way too much free time on your hands. Get a life!

Or it's also possible he's not dead.

I dont think they implied Leonard is dead ridiculous to think this from the evidence mentioned sorry i dont get it " much ado bout nothing"

You’re going on a theory because Sheldon didn’t mention his son’s namesake by name, Penny could’ve cared for their daughter while Leonard was at work, or something else. You’re grasping at something that may not even be true for the sake of posting a KZfaq video and getting views. It’s really quite pathetic. If it was the other way around you would be saying Penny had died instead of Leonard. Get a life!

Ridiculous

It not wierd for them to not a gove a nick name i thinks the clues u are reaching i think

Leonard nimoy maybe ....

What hint? I heard nothing that he might be dead. Only time related to him is Penny babysitting shamys kids. People do that. Stop this BS theory

looking way too deep lol

Leonard is NOT dead. 😂

Would make sense given what a lardass he had become

This is so dumb

really? You are thinking way too hard on this...

This is so stupid.

Stupid fan theory. Not well versed on show lore. Huge mistake concerning name "Leonard"- in universe yes to honor friend Leonard. BUT had nothing to do with Leonard Nimoy, no matter how big a Star Trek fan the guys were portrayed as. Sheldon and Leonard were named in honor of, wait for it,... Sheldon Leonard, a very prominent sitcom producer for CBS during the 1960s. A role model for the creators of TBBT. This video is trash.

Sheldon's son is named after Leonard Nimoy not the roommate...

This is bad

Nah lol

dislike dont worry
