AceShowbiz - During NBC's Television Critics Association presentation on Wednesday, January 13, the network dropped a good news for "Friends" fans. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer are scheduled to appear in the same primetime special.
The network entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt said they were busy readying a tribute show for TV director James Burrows who is celebrating his 1000th episode behind the camera. It will present past Burrows collaborators including the six-some "friends".
When asked whether all the six actors are officially filming at the same time, Greenblatt was quick to ease the anticipation. "I shouldn't go into detail. I'm hoping that all six of them will be there in the same room at the same time. I don't know, logistically, if we can pull that off," he said. But Paul Telegdy, who is involved in the project, added that all of them are participating in some capacity.
The special will air on Sunday, February 21. Sean Hayes of "Will & Grace" is producing the special and the cast of the show will also be there. Burrows had directed 15 episodes of "Friends" throughout the series' 10-season run. He had also directed "Cheers", "Frasier", "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Taxi" among others.
