Kevin talks about it in his most recent update of his My Boring-Ass Life journal:
Wed, 8/24/05
...
The guys drop me off at the airport, I check in, and head for the first class lounge, where I check email and IM Gail and Ming. I’m shooting on “Joey” in the morning, so I ask Gail to fax Ming the pages of the script, so he can scan ‘em and email ‘em my way for the flight home.
I board the plane and sleep for the first three and a half hours of the five hour flight home. When I wake up, I go over the “Joey” pages and rewrite all my dialogue, before I have to pack up for landing.
Byron and Jimmy pick me up at the airport, and we talk about being married the whole ride home. I get home around nine, where Jen’s waiting for me. I jump into woobs, then email the rewrites to Scott, the “Joey” writer/producer, to make sure they’re cool with my revisions. He calls back and jokingly offers me a job, before filling me in on the morning’s shoot schedule.
Jen and I bone for an hour, then kick back with some TiVo ‘til we fall asleep.
Thurs, 8/25/05
Wake up, shower, and head over to the Warner Bros.lot, for the “Joey” shoot.
Dave Mandel’s friends with Scott Silveri, one of the creators of the show, who passed along an invitation to do a few scenes in one of this season’s new episodes. Being a whore for seeing myself on TV, I say yes. To sweeten the pot, I’m playing myself – though not the unmarried, Quinnster-less version I play on “Degrassi”.
Before I left, I call a call from another producer on the show who asked me to bring some artwork from home for the show’s version of my home office. I’ve brought along some of the framed, foreign editions of the “Clerks” posters. And when I get to the stage, the set dec folks load them out of my car while I’m led to my dressing room, and then makeup.
In makeup, I meet Matt LeBlanc, who seems like a really nice guy. He gives me a heads-up that the writers rewrote our scene last night. I tell him I rewrote the scene last night, to which he responds “So that’s why you have all the jokes now.”
I smoke in my dressing room, going over my lines, until I’m brought down to the set for blocking. With a little time to kill, I head outside to smoke and run my lines. I’m joined by Matt, and we chit-chat for a bit about the show and life on a sitcom in general, until Kevin Bright (the director, and co-creator of “Friends”) comes out to let us know we’re gonna start blocking.
Stage-based sitcoms are great, because it’s all about speed. There are usually four cameras shooting, so there’s no wait between set-ups. Matt, Miguel (the other guy in the scene) and I blow through our two scenes in about two hours, and then I say g’bye to everyone and head out. On the way to my car, I run into Jennifer Coolidge, who I met during the poetry event we hosted at our house back in the spring. As she’s a very cool person, we bullshit for a bit before I get going.

Letterman the other night (and I'm positive I don't have the exact words):
"Former Presidents Bush and Clinton are now being dispatched to various disaster areas. Yesterday, they were on the set of Joey".
Ouch.
