Last month, "Friends" fans across the world lost their minds when it was reported that the popular sitcom's cast would reunite for an NBC special dedicated to legendary television director James Burrows. The special titled "Must See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows," featured five out of the six "Friends," who sat down with moderator Andy Cohen and discussed the show and Burrows.
In the first clip from the special, Cohen asked actor David Schwimmer if he had gotten any advice from Burrows when he went behind the camera to direct a couple episodes of "Friends." While the story that Schwimmer told was interesting, Lisa Kudrow was the one who livened things up when she revealed that the veteran director used to compare the cast to other sitcoms like "Cheers" and "Taxi."
Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and Matt LeBlanc were all also at the taping, which was already filmed. The only actor who was unable to make the taping of the special, which celebrates Borrows' 1,000th episode of TV, was Matthew Perry, who was rehearsing a play called "The End of Longing" in London.
The cast of "Friends" was not the only popular TV show to reunite at "An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows." The special also includes the cast of "Will & Grace," "Frasier," "The Big Bang Theory," "Two and a Half Men," "Cheers," "Taxi," "Wings," "Mike & Molly" and NBC's upcoming show "Crowded," according to E!.
"Must See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows" airs Sunday, Feb. 21 at 9 p.m. on NBC.
