In late October 2012, Cuoco enlisted the help of her sister Briana to organize a [[flash mob]] on the set of the show, in which she and the cast and crew surprised the studio audience by suddenly [[lip sync]]ing and dancing to [[Carly Rae Jepsen]]'s song "[[Call Me Maybe]]". A video of the event was posted on [[YouTube]] and became a [[viral video|viral success]].<ref name=TVGuide>Ratledge, Ingela (December 3, 2012) "Big Bang's Flash Mob Mentality".
