What keeps friends apart for 12 years? Successful careers, or maybe just that “Smelly Cat?”
Five of the six stars from the long-running American TV comedy, “Friends” reunited for one night to salute the driving force behind their sit-com – a television icon named James Burrows.
David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow sat together on stage during the all-star gala reminiscing about their ‘friend-ships’ and paying tribute to the creator and director of so many hit shows—“Friends” in the 1990s, but also “Cheers,” “Fraiser,” “Will and Grace,” and “Taxi,” among others.

Matthew Perry, who is currently working on a stage play in London, couldn’t attend in person Sunday night but sent a video introducing his co-stars to the stage.

“We really just fell in love and adored each other instantly, and would hang out at each other’s houses and watched the show together,” recalled Aniston, while her cast mates nodded.

The actress who played Rachael also called the series “the opportunity of a lifetime, and probably the best 10 years of our acting careers.”

The five also talked about their favorite episodes–although Smelly Cat, with it’s unforgettable song, remained just a memory.
