While speaking on the show ‘All Out with Jon Dean’, he shared that he was quite unhappy while doing the show.

I was stressed.”Parsons also admitted that despite all the love, popularity and accolades the show brought her, “I wouldn’t do this again and for any amount of money…it was stressful and miserable at times. I made myself miserable.”“I felt that there were so many plates that I was supposed to keep in the air and that the success and the good things in life that were happening were just because of this overwork…discipline and whatever. Maybe to a point that was true. I don’t know. I can’t say because it was like that,” he also shared.Parsons further added that many factors contributed to his deteriorating health at the time, including his work ethic and obsession with certain things, which caused him to lose many moments of his life. Addressing his “obsession,” the actor mentioned, “I had a list of things basically in my head that I needed to do to be comfortable and know that I could do my job well, which I don’t think was true.”
