Reply to comment by vadermaybelater in TIL the guy who played Nick the bartender in "It's a Wonderful Life," Sheldon Leonard, became one of the most successful TV producers in history, having created the Andy Griffith Show, Dick Van Dyke, among many others. As a tribute, the two main characters on "Big Bang Theory" were named after him. by latchkey_adult

Ron Howard released a book co-authored with his brother last year (“The Boys”) which is a really good book but I don’t remember if he mentioned Sheldon in that regard.
