Patrick Healy at The New York Times quipped “Jim Parsons is God – and not just to fans of his character, Sheldon Cooper” on the CBS comedy hit The Big Bang Theory.
“No, Mr. Parsons is actually going to play the Almighty on Broadway beginning May 5 in the new comedy An Act of God by David Javerbaum, a former head writer and executive producer of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, the play’s producer announced on Thursday.
The 90-minute production is based on Mr. Javerbaum’s 2011 book The Last Testament: A Memoir By God, a swirl of satirical riffs on Biblical passages, jokey anecdotes and comic pronouncements.
Ron Charles at The Washington Post described it this way: “The alpha and the omega of Javerbaum’s comedy are deadpan silliness and startlingly graphic sexual gags, which no fig leaf could dress up for a family newspaper.”

No homosexual really can.
Mocking God with graphic sexual gags. How controversial . . . . how outrageous . . . how cutting edge . . . . Not.
Liberal counterculture is so tired and banal that its pathetic. How many times is a fart joke funny? The Libs have been telling the same juvenile jokes over and over and over for 40 + years. Its so tired and pathetic.
OMG two reasons to watch. I see what you did there.
It’s too bad Kaley cut her hair short this season.
Beautiful woman, but that short hair....not.
Her husband, Ryan Sweeting, is a lucky guy.
It is, in reality, an honest depiction. We ALL make ourselves out to be God by the way we live much of the time.
Clearly, all of theirs heads should be separated from the bodies. It’s the only decent thing to do.
I told my wife this very thing.
Personally I think a woman with hair that short is lazy.
Yeah, it's jumped the shark. There was only so far they could go with the premise in the first place. I think Jim Parsons is great as Sheldon Cooper, but don't care to see him in anything else.
Doubtful Parsons will ever do anything else. Of course, most of them will never have to! This is Cuoco’s (at least) fourth well-received series so the fact that she’s not aging well doesn’t matter.
I tried a single segment, it was such dog squeeze. Canned laughs at things that weren’t even jokes as far as I could tell.
Freegards
Fornication, a sodomite actor, immature men in mid-30’s acting like kids, Adultery, exploiting of idiosyncrasies, etc. It was funny in the beginning. Not any more.”
The show stopped being funny when all of the geeks (except the Indian guy) got girlfriends or wives. Jumped the shark.
No doubt since he's gay. While I enjoy Big Bang, there's always that little nagging ick feeling when watching it.
They misspelled sin.
Sadly true.
She does have gorgeous eyes...
lazy? Her fashion choice makes her lazy.
Instead of curling her hair, she’ll probably put that time to good use making you a sandwich.
They misspelled sin.
LOL....right you are!
KC helps alleviate some of the ick feeling though.
Choosing my time wisely these days. jp is dead to me in every way. Hope he asks forgiveness before he croaks.
Beheading homosexuals is “decent”?
Maybe you belong with ISIS.
