Friends: Gabrielle Union to host famous episode re-enactment with all-black cast
Sky News ^ | 9/22/2020

One of the most famous episodes of Friends is set to be re-enacted with an all-black cast.

Hosted by Bring It On and 10 Things I Hate About You star Gabrielle Union, the Friends table read will feature Sterling K Brown, Ryan Michelle Bathe, Uzo Aduba, Aisha Hinds, Kendrick Sampson and Jeremy Pope.

Taking place on Zoom, the stars will re-enact the season three episode The One Where No One's Ready - which saw David Schwimmer's character Ross Geller desperately trying to get his friends to a black tie event on time, and Joey famously wearing all of Chandler's clothes - which is so not the opposite of taking someone's underwear.

It is being held to benefit When We All Vote, an organisation attempting to increase voter registration numbers in the US.

Friends fans were treated to a mini reunion during Sunday's Emmys, when Jennifer Aniston was joined at home by her former co-stars Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow - aka Rachel Green, Monica Geller and Phoebe Buffay.

Advertisement A long-awaited reunion show announced earlier this year, which is set to arrive on the HBO Max streaming service, has been delayed due to the coronavirus crisis.

BTW, here’s some interesting fan art. You probably know that the first monster villain in the original Kamen Rider was called “Kumo Otoko”, which literally translates as “Spider-Man”.

I wish they would redo Roots but reverse the races of the players. There would be blacks whipping whites etc.

Holy Mackerel, Sapphire!

I’ve noticed that almost EVERY time I turn on the TV — EVERY program, EVERY commercial, EVERY movie, etc. — it’s either all blacks, or all the main character(s) are black.

Ironic — you’d think they were 100% of the population, instead of just under 13%.

May limit TV time to old reruns of shows on the retro networks. It’s all getting just too silly for words.

Whites aren’t allowed to have nothing anymore. Not even their stupid sitcoms.

I thought “Whitey bad and whitey things bad.” How is replacing whites with blacks cool? That sounds like appropriation. Appropriation just tells me that the original was cool. Why appropriate?

Do your own thing.

Heh, we will have to see what the cultural appropriation police (like Achmed the Dead Terrorist) would say:

When they say something is not diverse enough they usually mean not enough blacks. So this would be 100 diverse?

Many people are noticing the ad content and it has become the topic of conversation elsewhere. And oftentimes, it is within the first second of the ad. However, whites are still burglars and play the fool where needed. Good people are getting turned off by the garbage of the left.

Yeah totally different.

They changed it from 4 girls and two guys in Brooklyn to 3 guys and 3 girls in Manhattan.

iHeartMedia radio stations are relentless with their “Why We Vote” podcast commercials. They never say (in the ads) how you should vote, but it’s all outspoken Trump haters like Jon Bongiovi, Billie Elish and Jane Lynch. Every time they say, “PLEASE vote. It’s important! Tell us why you’re voting,” I answer back to the radio, “To make sure Donald Trump gets a second term, to build the wall, the protect the unborn, to stop the Democrat party. Is that what you had in mind?”

Even worse, Kimba is white. He should assert white privilege, of course.
