The Big Bang Theory spinoff might be coming to an end soon, but that doesn't mean it's time to bid farewell to its actors. Will Sasso as well as Rachel Bay Jones who play the role of Mandy’s parents are all set to amaze their fans with their recurring roles. 

They play the character of Jim and Audrey McAllister, who were first introduced to the viewers in Young Sheldon’s season 6. 

In the season that was released in 2023, Audrey is shown to be a mother who cares for her daughter, Mandy too much and wants the best for her. Jones’ character is also shown to be utterly protective towards her family.

Unlike his wife, Jim McAllister, who is played by Will Sasso, is a somewhat kind-hearted father of Mandy, who also runs a local tire store. Jim is often seen to be at the center of a fight between Mandy and his wife. However, he is even sort of close to his son-in-law and guides him with all the secrets to a happy married life, as well as parenthood.
