"They're almost all there. The cast of 'Friends' - minus actor/comedian Matthew Perry who's rehearsing a play in London - gathered for NBC's James Burrow's tribute, and Entertainment Weekly has the first official photo from the reunion. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc huddle close with the veteran director, who recently directed his 1,000th episode of television. Jennifer has commented presently and in past interviews, " 'Friends' gave me everything - every opportunity that I have now - I thank 'Friends' for."
Burrows told Entertainment Weekly:
"We've had a long history together, and for them to show up in support in honor of me was so great."
James Burrows is recognized as television's most accomplished sitcom director. He made his television-sitcom directing debut with a 1974 episode of 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show'. He is probably best known for his work on 'Taxi', 'Cheers'; which he also co-created, 'Frasier' and 'Will & Grace', which collectively earned him 10-Emmy awards and four Directors Guild awards. He directed the pilots for all four series, as well as for other long-running comedies 'The Big Bang Theory', 'Two and a Half Men' and 'Mike & Molly'. Watch the 'Must See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows' special LIVE! on NBC February 21, 2016 from 9:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. ET/PT."
