Sheldon's church rant in the YoungSheldon season 6 premiere is indeed a TheBigBangTheory Easter egg, says executive producer Steve Holland 👀 '[Laughs] His love of finding the acoustic sweet spot dates back to his childhood!' 😂
Young Sheldon season 6 premiere features a nifty The Big Bang Theory Easter egg that's been officially confirmed. Sheldon and the rest of the Coopers have returned to the small screen, but things still haven't improved for them. In fact, they may have even gotten worse following news of Georgie unexpectedly getting his much-older girlfriend, Mandy, pregnant.
This shocking plot development was introduced in the second half of Young Sheldon season 5 and has been driving the comedy's story since then. Aside from its ramifications on Georgie's personal narrative, it has also impacted the rest of the Coopers, particularly the parents. Both George and Mary were fired from their respective jobs, but things are a little more complicated with the latter, considering her strong ties to the church outside of her job.

Young Sheldon executive producer Steve Holland confirms this in a new interview with TV Line discussing the most pivotal moments of the season 6 premiere.
It's worth noting, however, that not all The Big Bang Theory Easter eggs will be great. As long-time fans of Young Sheldon know, George's impending cheating scandal and subsequent death are approaching. CBS has yet to explicitly reveal when that's all going down, but based on what's revealed on the nerd-centric sitcom, it should be happening in the next year or two. After evading this plotline for a while, the spinoff won't have any choice but to tackle it.
