Perry felt like he was "going to die" if the audience didn't laugh. Jokes didn't always land on the show, but Perry felt devoted to the audience. "And it's not healthy, for sure. But I would sometimes say a line and they wouldn't laugh and I would sweat and just go into convulsions. If I didn't get the laugh I was supposed to get, I would freak out," the actor shared. This revelation was a surprise to his fellow cast as it prompted Kudrow to respond, "You didn't tell us that, though. I don't remember you ever saying that." Perry ultimately replied, "I felt like that every single night."
LeBlanc suffered multiple injuries thanks to Friends. Prior to his final callback, LeBlanc went out drinking with a buddy and ended up getting drunk and hurting himself in the process. When producer Marta Kauffman asked what happened when he arrived with a scabbed face, he fessed up and got the part of Joey. During the show's run, the one time the group didn't do their before-show huddle is the one time LeBlanc seriously injured himself while filming. While filming "The One Where No One's Ready," LeBlanc ended up going to the hospital after injuring his shoulder. This injury then had to be written into the show.
This is the last time the cast is doing a reunion like this. They are adamantly against ever doing a scripted reunion. "I once heard [the creators] say — and I completely agree — that they ended the show very nicely. Everyone's lives are very nice, and they would have to unravel all those good things in order for there to be stories, and I don't want anyone's happy ending unraveled. Also at my age to be floopy? Stop!," Kudrow stated.
