'The Big Bang Theory' season 11 spoilers, cast news: Bill Gates confirmed to make guest appearance

Another famous personality is dropping by "The Big Bang Theory."

Bill Gates has been tapped to guest star as himself in one episode of the CBS sitcom, reports confirmed. The Microsoft founder is set to attend a work function at Penny's (Kaley Cuoco) pharmaceutical company when he appears in late March.

After getting wind of the billionaire philanthropist's visit, Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and the rest of the gang do everything they can to sneak into the event and meet the famous computing icon.

CNN points out that the series is known for frequently recruiting personalities from the math, engineering, tech and science industries as guest stars. Some of them included Stephen Hawking, Tesla founder Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

This gig is not the first sitcom guest role for Gates. Back in 2001, he also appeared as himself on an episode of "Frasier."

Gates, 62, recently dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres show for the first time. Although he became the youngest billionaire in history when he was 31, he told DeGeneres that the major bank account boost did not exactly lead him on a spending spree.

"I don't have that many things that are extravagant taste, so it didn't change too much," Gates explained, noting his main priority at the time was making sure all his employees get paid.

DeGeneres asked, "So you didn't say 'Oh I'm going to buy a Porsche?'"

"I did — that I did," Gates responded. "That was an indulgence, and then eventually for my travel I got a plane, which is a huge indulgence, so those are my two."

"So you have a Porsche and a plane and that's it?" the host pressed, with Gates answering back, "In terms of crazy things, yes."

"The Big Bang Theory" season 11 airs every Thursday night at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
