27 years ago, mankind was given a boon in the form of 6 fictional Americans who made our lives happier and taught us what life actually is. They, perhaps, have no idea of the number of lives they have affected all over the globe.
Chandler’s sarcasm, Ross and Rachel’s love story, Phoebe’s Smelly Cat, Monica being the ‘miss-I-can-do-it’ person, and Joey’s “I don’t share my food.” However, there were other characters as well who had played their part in making FRIENDS what it is today.
20 Most Memorable Guest Appearances on FRIENDS
On the 27th anniversary of the first FRIENDS episode, here is our list of the 20 most memorable guest appearances and recurrences on the show (In no particular order):
1. Robin Williams as Tomas & Billy Crystal as Tim
Episode:- The One with the Ultimate Fighting Champion (Season 3)
Both Robin Williams and Billy Crystal did not have any script for this episode. They gave an impromptu performance, alongside Joey (Matt Leblanc) interrupting in between their conversation (Again ad-libbed!)
2. George Clooney as Dr.Michael Mitchell & Noah Wyle as Dr.Jeffrey Rosen
Episode:- The One with Two Parts (Season 1)
Ah! How can we forget these two super hot doctors!? *drooling*
3. Bruce Willis as Paul Stevens
Episode:- The One Where Ross Meets Elizabeth’s Dad & The One Where Paul’s the Man (Season 6)
Bruce Willis appeared on F.R.I.E.N.D.S because he lost a bet against Matthew Perry. The bet was if their movie ‘The Whole Nine Yards’ opened at the top of the US charts, then he will have to appear on the show.
