How did the producers of the Big Bang Theory convince actress Sarah Michelle Gellar to guest star on The Big Bang Theory series finale?

Question

How did the Big Bang Theory producers got her to guest star on the series finale. The show is way beneath her. She is not exactly nerd material. She is way too pretty and popular to be on the series. Her husband Freddie would fit in the series. But not her, because she is too famous and too pretty to appear in the series. How did the producers convince to guest star in the finale.

Answer 1

She isn't that famous anymore, the only thing she has going for her these days are her looks

Answer 2

The show is hilarious and popular. They've had plenty of famous guest stars already. I doubt it was a hard sell.

Answer 3

She's not that famous

Answer 4

Maybe

Answer 5

She was Buffy. She fit perfectly.

Answer 6

How far do you think she lives from the studio? I think it's about 14 miles. She probably got a lot of money for very little effort.

And look at some big stars who promote products on ads. Are YOU impressed by celebrity endorsements? I'm not.

Even though they mentioned her on the plane, I didn't recognize her later when she was sitting next to Raj, until she started speaking.

Answer 7

Perhaps they just asked her.

Answer 8

Showrunner Steve Holland was a big Buffy fan. They contacted her and found out she watches BBT with her family and is a fan so she agreed.
