The Reunion special that aired earlier this year, brought back many old fan-favorite faces. Jennifer Anderson described it as “Brutal.” Commissioned by HBO Max, the actors looked back on their memories of the show. While speaking to Rob Lowe on the “Rob Lowe’s Literally” podcast, she said, “Going back there, it’s nostalgic in a way that’s kind of also a little melancholy, you know… we have all gone down different roads, some easy and some not so easy for each of us… it was brutal, and also you can’t turn it off.”
It was at the time of the Friends special, that James Michael Tyler revealed his cancer. Although he was diagnosed in 2018, he kept it private.
