Courtney Cox and Matthew Perry reunite on Go On [video]

25 March 2013 Rob Buckley 2 Comments

It’s been a scary long time since the finale of Friends (don’t think about it – it’ll make you sad) and all the various Friends have gone off to do other projects. Courtney Cox has Cougar Town right now, Lisa Kudrow has Web Therapy, Matt LeBlanc has Episodes, Matthew Perry has Go On, and David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston doen’t really like that TV thing any more, so do lots of movies that aren’t very good and no one watches. Pity that.

Guest appearances in each other’s shows have been few and far between, although Schwimmer has appeared in Web Therapy and Aniston on Cougar Town as well as Cox’s previous show, Dirt. The latest crossover sees Perry and Cox, who were of course married on Friends, reunited for the first time since Friends, this time on Go On. Here’s a clip from the episode, which airs this week (or next). Is it enough to make you want to watch (UK readers you can watch the clip, just not the advert before it. Poor you, hey?)?
