Melissa Rauch Discusses Her Parents’ Lifelong Misuse Of The Term ‘Circle Jerk’ With Conan

Look: I hate The Big Bang Theory as much as the next person with discerning taste in television, but Melissa Rauch? She ain’t so bad. I remember she used to do the talking head stuff on Best Week Ever back in the day and I always found her to be funny and charming, which makes it kind of a shame that she ended up where she ended up.
