On Sunday night, NBC aired an emotional tribute to James Burrows on Must See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows. Hosted by Andy Cohen, the show brought the stars of various NBC shows like The Big Bang Theory, Will & Grace and, of course, Friends together to pay a special tribute to their beloved producer/director, James ‘Jimmy’ Burrows. But it was the cast of Friends who stole the show with their highly anticipated reunion — except for Matthew Perry who was tied up overseas working on another job. He did make an appearance in a pre-recorded video to introduce his friends up onto the stage. We were all so excited to see Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow all on a couch together again. Here’s 12 behind-the-scenes facts we learned from the tribute:
12. Courteney Cox’s Favorite Episode
Courteney Cox said her favorite episode was “The One With The Blackout.” She loved it because David Schwimmer, who played Ross Geller, had to act out a scene with a cat stuck on his back as he ran around on the balcony. David commented about the experience stating that James Burrows had told him, “Just keep going with the cat on my back, he said just keep doing it, keep doing it until I yell cut, and he never did!” Jennifer, who was in the scene with him, laughed and said it went on for a long time before he could stop.
