Friends is arguably one of most successful sitcoms of all time, running for 10 beloved seasons and 235 episodes from 1994 to 2004, which has left fans clamoring for a reunion, and that day is finally here.
Just hours after the show hit screens, Holly and Phil were seen on the replica set, with Phoebe’s guitar in view and a backdrop of the New York street.
The six stars – Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer – reunited on the Warner Bros. studio lot, where the show was filmed, for a night chocked full of laughs, tears and everything in between.
The special was filmed over a three-day period on the Warner Bros. lot, using the iconic fountain from the show as a backdrop for the cast’s main discussion, hosted by James Corden.

The Late Late Show host – whose choice was quite controversial among fans – delved into the making of the show in a lively discussion.
Corden also brought over Ben Winston, who serves as showrunner on The Late Late Show, to serve as the director and producer of the reunion special.
Though the Q&A did garner some criticism for failing to delve too deeply into topics that most Friends super-fans weren’t already familiar with.

The discussion delved into familiar territory, asking about each cast member’s auditions and other tales from early in development.
Aniston revealing a producer on a show she was on while auditioning for Friends, incorrectly told her, ‘That show won’t make you a star.’
Series creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman also regaled fans with tales from casting, and how the idea for the show was first formed.
