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.

Tired of all of these partisan “Get out the vote” groups claiming to be non-partisan.
Every cycle it is the same game.
If I were black I’d be insulted.
Cultural appropriation.
How about a remake of the Bill Cosby show starring Bill Clinton?
Who is this even targeting?
It’s a decades OLD show.

They’ve been doing that with superheroes for a while now.
You’ll never see any Japanese anime superheroes replace “yellow” with “black”. Imagine a black Goku or Gatchaman . . .
Let’s re-enact Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with an all white cast
You mean Kamen Rider Black isn’t Black?

Watting for Brad Garrett to star as JJ in an all white version of Good Times. Dyn-o-mite!

Future historians, assuming there are any, will look back on this time and call it “The Crazy Years”.
L
Yes.
I loved both programs. They were both really good.
Friends was a stupid show, and hardly worthy of any cultural note.
Even the theme song was written by morons. The first verse declares, "So no one told you life was gonna be this way..." and then contradicts itself in the second verse stating, "Your mother warned you there'd be days like these..."
Either two different people wrote the respective verses and didn't discuss, or the person who wrote the first verse got so stoned that by the second verse he forgot what he wrote.
cancelling Jennifer Anniston. I wonder how she really feels about that
I don’t care about the show, just throwing Black’s horseshit back in their faces.
Anything’s possible in tokusatsu, but not that, heh.
They should do an all white re-enactment of Living Single, the show Friends ripped off.
