Host Jimmy Fallon challenged _The Big Bang Theory_ actress to “Pup Quiz,” a trivia game where answering a question correctly gets you a puppy. But answer incorrectly and your opponent gets a puppy. Cuoco-Sweeting is so excited by the prospect of getting to hold the adorable golden retriever puppies that she starts crying tears of joy. Luckily for her, she wins the first dog of the game by supplying the correct answer to the question “What breed of dog is Scooby-Doo?” (Great Dane, obviously.) Fallon answers his first question incorrectly, awarding Cuoco-Sweeting with a second puppy. Then the stakes get even higher when the game enters into “Double Puppardy,” a round where the number of puppies up for grabs doubles. “I could die,” the actress exclaims. “I could die and just — this is it. This is it for me.” By the end of “Final Puppardy,” Cuoco-Sweeting wins all the puppies and is, as expected, overcome with joy. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4039994/kaley-cuoco-sweeting-puppies/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4039994/kaley-cuoco-sweeting-puppies/"},"headline":"See Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting Get Smothered in Puppies with Jimmy Fallon","datePublished":"2015-09-18T15:04:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:05:57.982Z","description":"Is this what heaven is like?","url":"https://time.com/4039994/kaley-cuoco-sweeting-puppies/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","animals","Dogs","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","entertainment","TV","Late Night Television","puppies","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt632c636b1d1ff36e/69886437196cf4e575038174/kaley-cuoco-jimmy-fallon.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt632c636b1d1ff36e/69886437196cf4e575038174/kaley-cuoco-jimmy-fallon.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Kelly Cuoco - Jimmy Fallon","caption":"Kelly Cuoco - Jimmy Fallon","creditText":"NBC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4039994/kaley-cuoco-sweeting-puppies/","name":"See Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting Get Smothered in Puppies with Jimmy Fallon"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Late Night Highlight: Jimmy Fallon Didn't Ask Jessica Alba About Company Lawsuit","description":"Jimmy Fallon asked Jessica Alba a few questions about her company, The Honest Company, but none of them were about the lawsuit.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/5GBXQa5e/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-09-15T07:34:46.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/5GBXQa5e.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4039994/kaley-cuoco-sweeting-puppies/","duration":"PT1M12S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4039994/kaley-cuoco-sweeting-puppies/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
