There are absolutely zero pointed questions and very little back and forth. With an ensemble cast starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, the show revolves around six friends in their 20s and 30s who live in Manhattan, New York City. The weirdest cameo has got to be Justin Bieber’s walk-on in a Friends fashion show, dressed in Ross’s potato Halloween costume. Friends is an American television sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, which aired on NBC from September 22, 1994, to May 6, 2004, lasting ten seasons. The best cameo is maybe Lady Gaga singing “Smelly Cat” with Kudrow, because Kudrow does it in character as Phoebe, and shoots Lady Gaga a deeply unimpressed glare when she finishes singing. It flits from one thing to another, giving various guest stars and famous people brief cameos, and sticking to hagiography, including a long clip reel of people expressing how Friends truly saved their lives.

James Corden, gormlessly hosting a gussied-up panel discussion, at one point remarks that one of the actors said something “exactly like” their character-which is, of course, just how they talk.* The only new piece of information “revealed” in the special (and honestly, as a Friends head from way back, I feel like I read this in a magazine feature decades ago) is that Aniston and Schwimmer had crushes on one another early in the series’ run, feelings they channeled into Rachel and Ross, which only further accentuates the porousness between characters and actors. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer aren’t Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and Ross, but the reunion accentuates the way that playing the latter forever linked the former, such that watching either is kind of like watching both. The special circles back again and again to the excellence of the show’s six actors and their rapport, effectively blurring the line between the characters and the people playing them. Insofar as it has any perspective on the persistence of Friends as a cultural phenomenon (which it mostly doesn’t), the reunion’s position is that it comes down to casting. It’s finally the actors, not the characters, who are just like us.
