Everyone has been talking about the Friends reunion for the last few weeks. However, there is someone else from the show we should have been talking about.
James Michael Tyler sat down with Today today, and he shared with them that he has stage 4 prostate cancer. The actor, who played Gunther on the sitcom was diagnosed in 2018.
Since then, it has spread to his bones. Over the last year, it caused several bones in his back to break. Due to the broken bones, he is no longer able to walk.
In fact, Tyler revealed he is terminal. Something that didn’t need to be the case had his doctors been taking his PSA count when they drew blood and had he gone to the doctor sooner for a check-up.
He is coming forward with his story now because he is hoping that talking about it, it can save at least one man’s life.
My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer via a PSA test. After several rounds of radiation, he was cured. Prostate cancer is one of the most curable cancers if it is caught early.
So men, go to your doctors and ask them to test your PSA number with your blood. It can save your life. Us, women, deal with your little pricks; you can deal with this one every six months.
A lot of people were upset that James Corden hosted the Friends reunion. However, we found out; it was worst than we thought. Yesterday, he shared a video of his behind-the-scenes time with Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer on The Late Late Show.
It started off boring as he picked them up in a golf cart on the Warner Bros lot. Then he got them to sing the theme song I’ll Be There For You by The Rembrandts. That would’ve been the perfect way to end things, and it was almost the case. That is because the host didn’t put the cart in park, and it started to roll backwards with them in it.
Unfortunately, Corden got back into the moving vehicle and stopped it. We were so close.
Before Jennifer Aniston was kissing her best friend’s brother on Friends, she was kissing her own brother Ferris Bueller. She looks so different with her old nose when she was 21 in that 1990 episode.
We know of five of Courteney Cox’s Friends. However, this weekend, she got together with three different ones to sing a song for one of those five.
Back on that sitcom she did, Lisa Kudrow’s character thought that Elton John was singing Hold Me Closer Tony Danza instead of Tiny Dancer. So this weekend, Cox asked John, Ed Sheeran, and Brandi Carlile to sing Phoebe Buffay’s version of it.
Giving us one of the most epic things ever to have graced social media. While we are all fanning over it, what did Kudrow and Danza think of it? To see what they said, then click here!
For the most part, the producers got everything right on Friends. However, there was one storyline that caused the six of them to get together and tell their bosses they didn’t like it.
“When we first started the arc where Joey was going to get together with Rachel. The cast revolted when they read the first script on it: ‘No. Joey would never do this to Ross,'” Kevin Bright told The Hollywood Reporter. “Marta [Kaufman] and David [Crane] were able to explain how it wasn’t going to end in a place that would compromise Joey as a character for stealing his buddy’s girlfriend. That almost didn’t happen. And we would have lost what was a very good season for that. I’m glad they won that one.”
Are you glad that Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer won, or were you rooting Jochel?
