The Big Bang Theory. Penny

I'm sure she must have a surname, I've 'googled' but nothing seems to be coming up.
(other search engines are available)
I'm kicking myself, especially as her 'dad' was in one episode when she and Leonard were pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

Would some please be kind enough to put me out of my curiosity?

Many thanks

wikipedia says " In contrast to all other characters, Penny and her father have not been imbued with a surname, thus far. However, co-creator Bill Prady stated that Penny's last name will be revealed eventually" so it must be true.

Thank you kindly dr b,

I'm wondering if they've been working on it so as not to insult the people of Nebraska!

Omaha

her kin are all criminals and drug dealers in omaha nebraska which is why she's in LA but when she marries leonard she'll have to be given a surname for the wedding

now, there's a thing Dotty, I read somewhere that she's from Omaha, Nebraska.
But I think that was the early episodes.

Love TBBT, it's never on TV often enough.

(about blooming time!)

"her kin are all criminals and drug dealers in omaha nebraska which is why she's in LA"

Isn't she in LA because she is an aspiring actress?

"Love TBBT, it's never on TV often enough."

Me too but surely you are joking saying that it is not on enough?! It must be on at least 4 times a day.

Matt, depends on what channels you can access :-)

In the episode that is on E4 currently Penny has just said "That's how we do things back in Nebraska"
