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.
