NBC recently released two extended clips of the Friends cast reuniting for the network's upcoming TV special tribute to James Burrows.
The clips include the cast chatting about how Burrows pushed the actors to become real-life friends so that their on-screen relationships would seem more genuine.
"He really encouraged us all to sort of get along, and get to know one another, and be kind to one another, and support one another, and watch one another, and help one another," Matt LeBlanc (a.k.a. Joey) said.
LeBlanc also gave Matthew Perry, who couldn't be there due to scheduling conflicts, a special shout out, in turn melting our JoeyChan 'shipping hearts.
Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe) added an anecdote about Burrows lending the cast his big dressing room so they could play poker and hang out — which later inspired an episode of the show.
"We instinctively felt like, we need to be friends and we need to get along and we need to connect," she said.
