FRIENDS’ Maggie Wheeler Sings ’15 Yemen Road, Yemen’—with the Help of Janice LEGOs

Of all the ways FRIENDS’ Chandler (Matthew Perry) dumped Janice (Maggie Wheeler) over the years, nothing was more mortifying—and a complete overreaction—than him being too afraid to tell her he didn’t want to be in a relationship, and instead claim he was being transferred to Yemen.

In season 4’s “The One with All of the Rugby,” poor Janice believed her off-on boyfriend really was being transferred and accompanied him to the airport. Despite Chandler’s ludicrous claim, Janice vowed to write him every day…at 15 Yemen Road, Yemen.

But now, more than 21 years after the episode originally aired, Wheeler has brought a new twist to the iconic scene—with a song and a group of Janice LEGOs. (There is currently a FRIENDS/Central Perk LEGO set out.)

Watch Wheeler’s delightful video now! Read more

FRIENDS: Enter to Win (a Real) Ichiban, Lipstick for Men

With FRIENDS hitting select movie theaters for multi-night binges, Fathom has taken their celebration to the next level: a real-life Ichiban, lipstick for men! (And in case you want to see the sitcom on the big screen, there are still select tickets available now.)

As you may remember Joey did a commercial for Ichiban (that only aired in Japan), promoting the bright blue lipstick. (Unfortunately for Chandler, the spot was so memorable, it was easy for Joey to realize that his buddy hadn’t actually watched his reel.) Read more

FRIENDS’ 25th Anniversary: TOW the Very Hard Quiz

FRIENDS’ 25th Anniversary: Looking Back at Jon Lovitz’s Hilariously Odd Arc

FRIENDS’ 25th Anniversary: Looking Back at the Quasi-ER Crossover

Fall of 1994 was a big one for NBC, as the network debuted two shows that would go on to be massive hits: FRIENDS and ER.

But when the shows were in their freshman years, they had a memorable (but odd) crossover: ER’s George Clooney and Noah Wyle guest starred in the second part of FRIENDS’ February ’95 two-parter as doctors…but not their County General characters.

Of course, their characters got entangled with Monica and Rachel (who were attempting to date the doctors while also participating in insurance fraud, which may not have been their best idea), and quickly bolted when things got weird. But for an episode, FRIENDS and ER overlapped.
