Can we be any more excited? The casts of some of the most popular sitcoms in television history reunited for Must See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrowson Sunday, February 21, to honor the legendary TV director.
Andy Cohen, who hosted the special, upgraded his couch interviews from Housewives to seasoned TV vets and kicked the night off with an interview withWill and Grace cast members Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally. When Cohen asked Mullally where her character Karen would be today, she said, “She’d be married to Donald Trump”. Obviously.
Five of the Friends stars — Matthew Perry is the lone holdout, as he is working on his play in London — attended, and a previously released clip from the special showed Matt LeBlanc giving the missing Friend a shout-out.
“We’re not all together. There’s one missing,” LeBlanc said. “We wish he was here. Matty, we miss you.”
Jennifer Aniston reminisced on all the major life changes that the cast went through together.
“We would do anything for Jim Burrows because he really gave us the opportunity of a lifetime,” Aniston said. “We experienced friendship, family, heartbreak, babies, everything, together. And we also had a wonderful experience with the world loving us as well.”
Cast members from Friends, Cheers, Taxi, Frasier, Will & Grace, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men and Mike & Molly are set to appear. Burrows, who is celebrating having helmed his 1,000th episode with the pilot of NBC’s sitcom Crowded, directed each of those series’ pilot episodes.
This post will be updated throughout the special.
