Behind-the-scenes revelations about Friends continue to pique interest even years after the show ended, adding to its enduring popularity. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer had real-life chemistry and crushes on each other during the show's first season, but never acted on it. Matt LeBlanc dislocated his shoulder while filming an episode, highlighting the unexpected risks and injuries that could occur on the set of a seemingly simple sitcom.
Friends is a beloved sitcom filled with iconic moments that have stuck with viewers for decades, and there have been a number of behind-the-scenes revelations that have come to light since the show ended 19 years ago. Friends follows the story of 6 20-somethings who are navigating adulthood and all the trials and tribulations that come along with it. From the catchy claps in the theme song to the back-and-forth, "Will they, won't they?" of Ross and Rachel to lines that have made their mark on pop culture,...

Though “Friends” primarily followed its core six people, the cast certainly had a lot of their own friends stop by the show over the years. In rewatching the show, you might spot a lot of familiar faces that you didn’t remember — or maybe didn’t even know the first time they appeared.
Beginning in 1994, the NBC sitcom ran for 10 seasons. And, considering it ran during the age of television when seasons were usually 23 or 24 episodes long, there were plenty of opportunities for the cast and creators to bring in celebrity guest stars.
Some just came for an episode, and some stuck around a little longer, but each one left their own mark. So, we rounded up just about all of them — excluding those like Tom Selleck and Elliott Gould who were more regularly recurring stars on “Friends.”
You can see the list below.

Marcel the Monkey, the white-headed capuchin monkey from Friends, stole the show in each episode he appeared in. Even though Marcel proved to be a hilarious addition to the sitcom for the brief period he was on the show, the Friends monkey was the source of some controversy involving David Schwimmer, who played Ross on the show. But while there may have been monkey drama behind the scenes, Marcel added emotional weight to Ross' storyline early on.
From the time Friends premiered, Ross often had heavier storylines than the other main characters, and this trend continued throughout the series as some of the saddest moments on Friends happen to Ross. Bringing the monkey onto Friends added some much-needed humor to Ross' situation, and Marcel's story concluded in a bittersweet yet fulfilling way. While Friends officially ended its popular run in 2004, the discord surrounding Schwimmer and the monkey from Friends has continued for over a decade,...
