Lorre has been creating television content for over two decades. His shows have been among the top rated comedies and he has been nominated for dozens of awards. Lorre received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Television from the Producers Guild of America. During a recent press conference, Lorre was asked about his Midas touch. “I think there’s no formula for this other than trust your own response. My own response,” he replied. “If I think something is worth writing about or characters are really interesting or wonderful or terrible people, but wonderful, terrible people, then trust, trust that feeling. Because there’s no way to canvas the world and find out, ‘Do you agree with me?’ So you just go forward on faith. It’s just terrifying.”

Steven Molaro has collaborated with Lorre on several shows. They have a chemistry that is undeniable and their shows have borne that out. When it comes to success, Lorre explained it is a collaboration.

“The trick is really to rely on talented people around you and trust that if you try to do it alone, I think you’re doomed,” he said. “So I learned pretty early on that the only way to do this is to be surrounded by people like Steve Molaro and Steve Holland, great writing staffs and great production crews, and trust.”

Many people have superstitions about their work, like wearing lucky socks on game day or wearing a special suit for an interview. For Lorre it is a little strange.

“A long time ago I picked up a ridiculous neurosis that I have,” Lorre said. “It’s contagious. It has spread. And for some reason, I cannot sit in a chair with my name on it. (I) can’t defend it, but things are working OK, so I’m going to stick with it.”

Lorre has a wonderful sense of self and he knows what he likes and what he thinks will work. “My job, my hope and goals are to cause laughter. That’s it. I’m not a teacher. I’m not an educator. And a successful day when you go home is people laughed. That was a good day. That was a good day. … And that’s the goal. To go beyond that, I think, might be a bit of, a bit of hubris, I believe.”

With so many shows failing in the first few episodes, it is amazing that the majority of shows from Lorre have been tremendous successes. He knows he has made a mark on the entertainment industry. He enjoys his work and enjoys making life a little more fun for viewers.

Lorre continues to create fun and memorable characters and shows. Television shows are not going to solve the world’s problems, but they can bring some fun and enjoyment to viewers. “We have this gift where we get to put on a show and hopefully bring a little light into the world. That’s enough. That’s enough.”

Lorre is currently working on “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” which is a spinoff of “Young Sheldon,” which was a spinoff of “The Big Bang Theory.” He has another project in preproduction. There seems to be no end to his creativity.

Perhaps fans of “The Big Bang Theory” would enjoy another spinoff — “Young Wolowitz” or “Little Leonard”? We’ll have to wait and see.
