Matt LeBlanc was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and the ABC host wanted to know if he is still friends with the monkey from Friends.
That is when Joey said he liked the monkey, but his co-star David Schwimmer not so much. Every time Ross had to work with Marcel, he was like “Again with the monkey?”
Talking about Marcel, did you know that Marcel was really a Katie? That is right, the monkey on Ross’ back was really a girl.
Then LeBlanc shared a behind-the-scenes moment about Katie. One day when they were filming, she did what capuchin monkeys do, climbed up the lights on the soundstage to the ceiling and got lost. Therefore, all of these stagehands were trying to lure her down with mealworms. After a half hour, she finally came down and the continued filming.
NBC made a huge mistake by giving LeBlanc the Friends spinoff, as we know. They should have given it to Marcel/Katie. If they did, we would still be talking about how off the rafters it is.
Before Alanis Morissette was singing about Dave Coulier, she was singing to Matt LeBlanc in her music video for Walk Away. How cute was the 24-year-old in that 1991 music video?

Before Courteney Cox was on the covers of magazines all over the World, she was on the cover the Susan Blake’s book The Last Word. How cute was the 20-year-old posing on the cover for that 1985 paperback novel?
Back in 1994, when Friends announced they were ending? We were all shocked. Sounds like you were not alone. Today on Larry King Now, the host asked Matt LeBlanc if it “was time to go?”
Joey said, “Who knows? I didn’t feel like we were jumping the shark.” Then why did he agree to ending the sitcom? He added, “That was the general consensus, that it was time. Let’s go. Let’s get while the getting’s good. So we ended.”
Sounds like we know now why he was the one who got the spinoff. The rest were ready to move on and he was not. They needed someone for the spinoff, so it was him. Talking about jumping the shark, Joey was really bad.
To me, the show had jumped the shark a few years earlier, but I know not many people agree with me. When were you over Friends? Or are you over it?

Before Matt LeBlanc was swearing on Episodes, he was being sworn in for a PSA about the Constitution. He looks the same now as he did when he was 18 in that 1985 PSA.
Listen to him tell Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show how doing that job cost him $500.
