A few weeks ago, Friends fans were tantalized by the promise that the entire cast of the ’90s sitcom was reuniting for an NBC tribute special to James Burrows.
After the announcement, one “friend,” Matthew Perry (a.k.a Chandler) said that he wasn’t able to make it after all. But hey, five out of six is better than zero, right?
Now, thanks to Big Bang Theory‘s Johnny Galecki (Leonard), fans can get a sneak peek of the event. The actor posted a photo of the almost-entire cast to his Instagram.
Galecki, joined by BBT co-stars Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco and Simon Helberg, posed for a photo with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer, who were all in attendance (as promised) to honour Burrows. Perry, who can’t make it due to previous obligations — he’s doing a play in London — couldn’t attend the reunion in person, but he will appear in the special in a pre-taped segment.
