There are always yearly (if not monthly) rumors about "Friends" Reunion. 2014 was not an exception. Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel puts a stop to these rumors and makes fans' dreams come true.
With the last episode of the tenth season airing in May of 2004, it's been more than a decade since the six friends showed up on the orange couch at Central Perk. Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Chandler have since been the most popular group of middle-aged professionals the world has ever known. "Friends" has become the inspiration for many long-running television series today.
Recently, rumors of reunion among the "Friends" cast again resurfaced online. Stemming from a convincingly official yet admittedly fan-made poster, even stars like Lisa Kudrow, who plays nature-loving Phoebe in the series, had to comment (via social network) to stop reunion rumors and avoid potentially hurting the "Friends" fans.
However, the Jimmy Kimmel show found a way to put a stop, albeit temporarily, to the rumors-by making the "reunion" happen.
In August 27, Jimmy Kimmel brought in Jennifer Aniston to his show. While professing his inner fan for the "Friends" series, he surprises Aniston (who plays Rachel in the show) with an "exact" replica of Monica's (Courtey Cox's character) dining room/kitchen. During the skit, Kimmel mentions, "I actually spent $80,000 making it to the T. Every detail is correct."
They continue on with scripts on hand, and soon enough, two other characters, Phoebe and Monica emerge from the front door.
Although the boys (Joey, Chandler and Ross played by LeBlanc, Perry, and Schwimmer) weren't around, fans around the world were ecstatic about the mini "Friends" reunion 2014 and took to the net their appreciation for Kimmel's gesture.
This "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" posted on Youtube.com has garnered over two million hits since its upload. Clearly, fans of "Friends" aren't over them yet. And hopefully, there will be more "Friends" reunion 2014.
Some of the "Friends"-inspired sitcoms are "How I Met Your Mother" and "New Girl".
