It was ok for what it was.



He definitely has. The last time I saw him a year or two ago on his sitcom when flipping channels, he had extra weight - but not this gut.

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything, but I was rather shocked to see LeBlanc's gut. Had a similar reaction when I saw Russell Crowe in "Unhinged".

She looks exactly like a 52 year old who's had work done to look in her 40's. Mostly looks fake though.

LeBlanc looked exactly like a regular dude. Kinda awesome. He also seemed genuinely happy, down-to-earth and confident.

Matthew Perry has been battling his addiction to Vicodin and alcohol since the accident in 1997, and it's clearly taking its toll :(

I'm sure she's had a few botox injections here and there. The only thing major I read that she had done was a rhinoplasty.

But, even then, I think she's still gorgeous for her age.

Matthew Perry has the worst set of dentures I have ever seen. It looks like he found them on the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart. Sad to see him in that condition. I hope he seeks help before it's too late.

Really enjoyed it nice to see everyone together. Perry looks like he has meth mouth like Jason Mewes. He looked really bad but he is still worth about 80 million so he should be fine. IMDB shows he hasn't really worked for 4 years or so except some Netflix movie.


Most of them looked great. Swimmer and Kudrow looked the best but Anniston is still gorgeous for her age regardless of what some say here. :lol:

The funniest part was when they looked over the set wall that each of them signed after the finale, and we saw that Leblanc signed his "I shit here". :lol:

I never got the hype about Aniston's looks. She's never been more than "girl next door cute" to me. Also, see Kaley Cuoco.

As I'm sure you've heard, Perry had emergency dental work done just before the show. So, yeah, those look like dentures and they looked like they hadn't been properly fitted yet. So that's my guess there.

Le Blanc and Kudrow look great. Everyone else has had "obvious" work done. If Le Blanc and Kudrow have, they have great doctors. Oddly (or perhaps not so oddly), those two seem like the happiest of the bunch as well.

I was thinking the same thing. Le Blanc just looked really happy.

LeBlanc used to go on Conan and talk about the property he owned in California. He had all sorts of toys he could ride around doing whatever the hell he wanted. He genuinely loved talking about it. I assume that is what he has been doing.

He was also in Episodes for 5 seasons and then Man with a Plan for 4 seasons until it got cancelled last year. It does seem like he's keeping himself busy and enjoying life.

Just watched it tonight. Nothing amazing, but it was pretty cool seeing them together. Liked the reminiscing of the creators about casting and stuff. That was interesting.
Yes, James Cordon sucked.

Somehow it felt "cobbled together" between the table reads, the weird trivia sketch/contest, the interviews, the testimonials, and the live audience Q&A. Plus during the semi-excruciating "International" segment we had this weird image as they cut clips of people being interviewed all over the world:

Call it a hunch, but I don't think she's really in Mexico.

Yeah, I knew that, but JMO, I think that was a cover story to hide the fact he's a mess. Like the d2cheer already posted, he looks like he has meth mouth. In the link below, there's info and a pic of what meth does to your teeth. Link at your own risk. If I were guessing, and that's all i'm doing, is Perry's teeth were beyond repair and quickly had to have his teeth pulled so he could appear of the reunion show.

I hope he gets help for his issues. I would hate to open the news and see he passed away from drug OD. Pulling for you MP!

Well, to be fair - I don't think they said the person was currently in Mexico. She was probably just in Mexico when she watched the show - which could've been during the shows run.
The point they're making is still valid in that case - in that it was an international phenomena to a degree.

Oh, I know. But wouldn't you agree with me that it's a little incongruent and a bit weird to interview Indian people in India, Ghanaian people in Ghana, a Japanese woman in Tokyo, a Russian woman in Moscow, a German Man in Berlin and a Mexican person in .... West Hollywood?

I just think that for her age Anniston looks good.

Her face looks weird in that recent commercial... especially when she's on the treadmill.

And uninteresting. I didn't care for any of it at all. My wife thought it was okay, and she is a huge fan of the show. And after watching random reruns on TV, I realized I think it's still somewhat popular for nostalgia sake than it being a show that's stood the test of time.

Most of the people I know that currently watch Friends are teenagers, so I'm not entirely sure that's true (they also really like The Office). And weirdly enough, they weren't turned onto it by their parents.

Well if they just let Trump build his wall - this wouldn't be an issue! ;)

I immediately felt that this was bullshit damage control coming from his publicist. He seemed high some of the time with his slurred speech. He’s had the slurred speech in other interviews going years back.

To be clear though, he could have slurred speech as a result of brain damage from prolonged drug use or other health issues like his 2018 gastrointestinal perforation and subsequent 3 mo hospitalization. Doesn't necessarily mean he was high when the reunion shoot happened.

Yeah, he looked and sounded like someone who had a stroke, he also didn't seem as "quick witted" as he used to be (although, to be honest, maybe he never was, and it was just what was in the script).
