It cannot be said that the reunion of Friends has been a straight-forward affair. Indeed, there have been so many rumours flying around about it, it's been nigh impossible to stay on top of them all.
Finally, though, it was confirmed last month that all cast members (bar Matthew Perry, 'Chandler', who is currently rehearsing a play in London) would come together to discuss the award-winning comedy as part of a 2-hour special tribute show to NBC director James Burrows.
Since then NBC have been teasing Friends fans with a drip feed of short clips from the tribute show, which is due to air on Sunday 21st February. In the latest clips from the reunion, Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe, makes a potentially awkward discovery, as she realises that she was the only one of the Central Perk gang to audition twice for her role. As the five cast mates (bar Matthew Perry) are discussing their audition process, Lisa mentions 'I had to come in and audition for Jimmy!' The others then look pretty confused, with a surprised Courtney Cox asking 'Did you?'
Thankfully Lisa doesn't seem too perturbed by the news - after all, maybe the producers just wanted to check out her busking skills...

OH - MY - GOD.
Whilst the first snippet from the Friends reunion is but seconds long (seconds) it gives a good insight into the hilariousness of what will surely follow when the show is released on Sunday 21st February.
In the clip, tribute show host Andy Cohen is filmed asking the cast members (seated before him on a sofa): 'Did you all sign contracts saying that you wouldn’t sleep with each other?’
Quick as a flash, Lisa Kudrow (who played Pheobe) turns to David Schwimmer (Ross), hugs his arm and quips, 'David, say something...'.
It ain't much, but it's comedy gold all the same. See it for yourself, here:
