There's an article from Variety with a bit where Johnny talks about Jim

As the brilliant but lactose intolerant Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, Johnny Galecki has played the straight man opposite co-lead Jim Parsons’ even nerdier Dr. Sheldon Cooper in CBS’ hit “The Big Bang Theory” for nine seasons. “A whole lot’s changed since the show began, and of course you all go through ups and downs, both professionally and personally,” says Galecki, who was Emmy-nominated in 2011. “But the chemistry’s always been there, and we hit it off immediately and talked for 12 hours straight the first time we met. So you do this ‘accelerated bonding,’ where you share all these very personal experiences with someone you hardly know, and that helped a lot with quickly developing and understanding our characters and their dynamic.”
In terms of that dynamic and working as co-leads, “Leonard has fewer peccadilloes and issues than Sheldon,” notes Galecki, “but I’ve always been very uncompetitive both personally and professionally, thanks to my Chicago theater background where it’s so supportive. And as ‘the straight man’ in the relationship, I’ve always felt that comedy’s like hockey — you get a lot of credit for assists. Working with Jim is so much fun, as our processes are very similar, but our comedy influences are very different — and those differences really serve what we do in the show.”
