Young Sheldon'sIain Armitagemade a rare comment about why there's no rush to have him makean appearance onGeorgie & Mandy's First Marriage.
"Honestly, it would be so fun to be on that show. I'm a huge fan [of the show and] of Montana Jordan and Emily Osment. They are so talented — everybody that's currently on that show is so great," Armitage, 17, exclusively toldUs Weekly. "I watch the show all the time and my whole family loves it. They're all doing such a great job as a cast and as a show."
Despite tuning in each week, Armitage broke down his hesitationabout joining — yet.
"I believe when you have a cast that great — and when you've already cemented a really great core cast — diluting it or adding other people doesn't mess it up. But I wouldn't want to barge in on what they got going on," he noted. "It's really great, so I would be honored to be part of it."

He continued: "There's no current plan in the works for it but, you know, if maybe a couple seasons down the line that happens ... It'd be really exciting and fun. Now that's one of those shows that I get to sit back and be a fan of. I don't even have to be a part of it. I just get to nerd out and love it."

Armitage rose to stardom playing Sheldon on the hit CBS series,which served as a prequel toThe Big Bang Theory. FollowingJim Parson's character,Young Sheldonfocused on Sheldon's life as a child prodigy growing up in Texas. Viewers met Sheldon's brother, Georgie (Jordan), which paved the way for his love story with Mandy (Osment) to inspire another spinoff,Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage.
"I'm lucky in a few ways. Because I started doing this when I was so young, I have a lot of people that will come to me and tell me, 'You look so different.' It's kind of interesting to think that if I start another project and do something completely different, it's a nice opportunity to differentiate myself in some way," Armitage explained. "But that's not even really my goal. I'm really proud of the work I did on Young Sheldon. I loved it. It was a super fun seven years. I am not running from it in the slightest. I would love to appear on Georgie and Mandy but for now just the fact that I can switch up and do something totally different is awesome and really fun."

Armitage has still found a way to remain at CBS bytaking on other opportunities, like an upcoming guest star role onGhosts.
"I'm looking forward to whatever happens next and at not trying to force anything. I am enjoying the ride and it's really fun," he added. "I also do like the fact that if ever want to, there's a home for a character that I love. I've got options."
The actor joked about his big dream of having a "monopoly" over his favorite CBS shows. "I need to get on Tracker and I need to get on Survivor. I need to be kidnapped really terribly and have Colter Shaw rescue me," he quipped toUs. "I need to go on the island [on Survivor] at some point. I'd love to make a little appearance on every CBS show. That'd be fun to jump around."
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriageairs on CBS Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET and episodes are currently streaming on Paramount+.
