The Big Bang Theory’s Kunal Nayyar Parties with Robot in New Sanjay and Craig Episode

Sanjay and Craig continue their best bud adventures this Saturday, June 29, at 10:30a.m. ET/PT during a new episode of Nickelodeon’s Sanjay and Craig. First in “Traffical Island,” the kids turn against Sanjay when he maroons them all on a highway median. Then in “Partybot,” Sanjay and Craig find an old robot that Sanjay’s dad Vijay (Kunal Nayyar, The Big Bang Theory) constructed in college and become party animals.

For more Sanjay and Craig fun, viewers can go online to play “Sanjay and Craig: Messin’ with Noodman.” In this new game, players can play as Sanjay or Craig and bounce balls into the neurotic Mr. Noodman’s yard. Knock over his lawn ornaments for the perfect score, but don’t let him catch you!

Sanjay and Craig follows the adventures of Sanjay, an excitable and irreverent 12-year-old boy (Maulik Pancholy, 30 Rock) and Craig, a smooth-talking snake and master of disguise (Chris Hardwick, Nerdist, The Talking Dead). Together, they embark on epic kid-inspired quests that are at times totally ridiculous, absolutely gross and weirdly sweet. From perfecting the ultimate bike skid, tightroping across a pool of garbage on a dare or Craig manipulating a contest to win his best buddy one hundred dogs, their routine hijinks often cross into the land of the fantastical and the absurd. Only Sanjay and his closest friends can hear Craig’s warped words of wisdom. The only thing that stands in their way is their unhinged, snake-phobic neighbor, Mr. Noodman (Tony Hale, Veep, Arrested Development), who’s always on the verge of figuring out that Craig can talk.
