The Friends Reunion Special (May 2021) on HBO Max

[Lasirius]

Kudrow has always been severely underrated. She is fantastic in The Comeback.

I had to rewatch it the part when they were talking about their marks and the various takes of fJoey running into to CP the reactions of Marta backstage broke me LOL

as much as i loved Jennifer, Lisa was by FAR the funniest of the 3 girls she was just too awesome

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Really enjoyed the reunion, the Corden parts annoyed me because he always does but they were thankfully short. Really enjoyed everything else and was a fun and touching watch as a big fan of the series.

The biggest surprise to me was, that Mr. Heckles is still alive.
The biggest disappointment was tha absence of Paul Rudd

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Honestly I feel that this should've been done the way curb your enthusiasm did the Seinfeld reunion or atleast close to it.

Probably a scheduling conflict.

 

[Albright]

Yeah, but he could‘ve showed up virtually on cam

 

[Drizzle]

Imagine if Rudd had hosted this instead of Corden...

‘Friends’ Co-Creator Says ‘I Was Part of Systemic Racism’

 

[Primal Slayer]

I wonder if this hasnt made the impact HBO Max hoped for? I'm not remembering any talk about how big its been for them (outside of being a mega success in China)

 

[Sawyer]

None of the streamers seem particularly forthcoming with viewership numbers.

Yeah, I didn't really like that they had to do it in front of an audience. I think you get more honest reactions when it's intimate, like the Fresh Prince reunion. But like you said, fortunately they didn't shoot the whole thing like that.

Jennifer Aniston Recalls Actor “Too Above” Working on Friends Sitcom – The Hollywood Reporter

Appearing alongside fellow Friends actresses Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, Aniston at one point recounted a negative experience with an actor who appeared on the show and behaved “as if they were just too ‘above’ this, to be on a sitcom.”

“I remember when we were doing a network run-through, the network and the producers would just laugh. And this person would be like, ‘Listen to them, just laughing at their own jokes. So stupid, not even funny,'” Aniston recalled. “It was just like, ‘What are you doing here?'”

The Morning Show star went on to say that kind of attitude didn’t fit with the tone of the cast, crew, and set, and was “not what we’re all about.”

“This is a wonderful, warm place to be, and you’re coming into our home and just s— on it,'” she continued.

While detailing the experience, Aniston revealed that this person has since acknowledged their unprofessional conduct.

“The funny thing is, that male did apologize about their behavior years later, and just said, ‘I was so nervous, to be honest, that I wasn’t on my best behavior.'”

Curious to know who that could be.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Bruce Willis?

 

[Pennywise]

Jean-Claude Van Damme?

 

[flickchick85]

I was thinking maybe Alec Baldwin, but I forgot Bruce was on the show.

 

[Prison Mike]

Yeah my immediate thought went to Alec Baldwin too. Could be Bruce Willis also.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Not sure how true this is...

Before Willis cameoed in the spring of 2000, a few months after his film, The Whole Nine Yards, hit theaters. The dark comedy also starred Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing in Friends. While working on the movie, Perry bet Willis that The Whole Nine Yards would stand atop the box office when it was released. Willis, for whatever reason, didn't have high hopes for the box office performance, so he took the bet - and lost it. The movie held the number one spot at the box office for multiple weeks. As part of losing the bet, Willis was forced into playing the part of Paul Stevens.

LOL

Excuse me, these ladies are friends with Laura Dern and she did not make a single guest appearance during that 10 year span?? Even in the later years when they were pulling a different big name guest star every week?

I remember they're game to have the gals do their own reboot.

 

[Albright]

Oh Courtney…look at how confident Lisa ages

Friends Actor James Michael Tyler Reveals He Has Stage 4 Prostate Cancer: 'It's Gonna Probably Get Me'

Oh my god. I guess we can say Gunther won't be in a sequel then.

 

[Drizzle]

Apparently that was the reason why he wasn't at the reunion in person. Poor guy.

 

[Sawyer]

This is deranged.
